ClickRuntime for Gemini CLI

Set it up from Gemini CLI, then close the terminal

Ask Gemini to log every incoming webhook to a sheet, act on each new GitHub issue, or post a report each Monday. The job runs on ClickRuntime's servers, remembers state between runs and emails you when something breaks.

Connect ClickRuntime to Gemini CLI

Add ClickRuntime to Gemini CLI with one command or a settings.json entry, then sign in with /mcp auth.

  1. Add the server for your user, so it's available in every project.

    gemini mcp add --transport http -s user clickruntime https://clickruntime.com/api/mcp

  2. Or add it to ~/.gemini/settings.json yourself.

    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "clickruntime": {
      "httpUrl": "https://clickruntime.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

  3. Start Gemini CLI and sign in. Your browser opens the ClickRuntime sign-in; choose a workspace and approve.

    /mcp auth clickruntime

  4. Run /mcp to check clickruntime is connected and see its tools, then ask for an automation.

  2. You connect what it needsSlack, Google or an API key are connected once in the ClickRuntime application. Keys never go into the chat.
  3. You stay in controlYou allow each action in your assistant's permission prompt. Before a live run it tells you what starts it and every service it will contact. Every run is logged.
  4. It runs on its ownIt keeps running on ClickRuntime's servers with Gemini CLI closed, and tells you when something fails.

Your control

What you control in Gemini CLI

Gemini CLI can build, deploy, run, test and change an automation, and keeps fixing it until a run succeeds. You allow each action in Gemini CLI's own permission prompt, and before a live run it tells you what it will send or change outside ClickRuntime. Keys are added only by you in the ClickRuntime dashboard, you can pause any automation at any time, and every run is logged.

Deleting needs one more step: in Gemini CLI you confirm through a one-time link that opens ClickRuntime in your browser.

After it's live

Checking on and changing automations from Gemini CLI

No dashboard needed. Ask Gemini CLI in plain words, from any conversation, and it answers from the automation's run history.

  • Check status

    Ask whether an automation ran, when it runs next and how its recent runs went. Gemini CLI lists your automations with their state: live, paused or needing setup.

    Ask Gemini CLI“Which of my ClickRuntime automations failed in the last 24 hours?”

  • Find out why a run failed

    Gemini CLI reads the run's error and log lines, explains them in plain words and proposes a fix. You also get an email when a run fails.

    Ask Gemini CLI“Show me the logs from the last failed run and fix the script.”

  • Change what it does

    Move the time, add a recipient or change the logic. Gemini CLI applies the new version, tests it and tells you what changed. Every version is kept.

    Ask Gemini CLI“Make the health check time out after 10 seconds instead of 30.”

  • Pause and resume

    Pausing takes effect immediately, and you can pause from the ClickRuntime dashboard too. Events sent while paused are kept.

    Ask Gemini CLI“Pause every automation that calls the staging API.”

  • Run it now

    Trigger a one-off run to test a change or catch up after an outage. The schedule stays as it is, and the run counts toward your monthly runs.

    Ask Gemini CLI“Run the scraper once now and show me the output.”

  • Clean up

    Find automations you no longer need and delete them. Deleting removes the automation, its runs and its trigger link, so you confirm it first.

    Ask Gemini CLI“List automations that haven't succeeded this month and delete the old test ones.”

Help

Gemini CLI: troubleshooting and questions

Still stuck? See troubleshooting or contact support.

Checking the connection
Run /mcp in a session, or gemini mcp list in your shell, to see whether clickruntime is connected and which tools it offers.
Project or user scope
gemini mcp add saves to the current project by default. Add -s user to make ClickRuntime available everywhere.
Removing it
Run gemini mcp remove clickruntime (with -s user if you added it there), then disconnect Gemini CLI under Settings → AI assistants in the ClickRuntime application.
Does it work over SSH or in a container?
Gemini CLI signs in through a browser on the same machine, using a localhost redirect. Sign in on a machine with a browser; headless and remote sessions can't complete it yet.
I use Antigravity CLI. Is there a page for it?
Not yet. Google replaced Gemini CLI with Antigravity CLI for unpaid and Google One users in June 2026. If your client can add a remote MCP server by URL with OAuth, follow the any MCP client steps.
Where are my sign-in tokens kept?
Gemini CLI stores them in ~/.gemini/mcp-oauth-tokens.json. Run /mcp auth clickruntime again to sign in afresh.
Which language are the jobs in?
Python 3.11 with common packages preinstalled. Gemini can port logic from other languages or call your own API from the script.
