Is there specific commands/prompt I need to add to gemini so it could understand how to use that MCP?
Hi,
Just curious, am I doing everything right or not.
Following example commands e.g.:
I received empty black square:
--healthlog:And this is a log messages from my gemini-cli with configured MCP:
Is there specific commands/prompt I need to add to gemini so it could understand how to use that MCP?
