Usage with Gemini CLI
To use this MCP server with the Gemini CLI, you need to add it to your MCP configuration file (usually found at %USER%\.gemini\settings.json or similar, depending on your specific setup).
Add the following entry to your mcpServers configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"newline": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/newline/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
Note: Replace /path/to/newline/dist/index.js with the absolute path to the dist/index.js file in this project.
For example, if you cloned this repository to C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\newline, the configuration would be:
{
"mcpServers": {
"newline": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\newline\\dist\\index.js"]
}
}
}
