question: should a guide on installing gemini-cli be in here? or just a link to the gemini-cli github page for instructions?

Good question! I've kept a brief installation section for user convenience (just the basic commands for npm, npx, and Homebrew) but added a link to the https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli for more detailed installation options. This way users get the essentials quickly but can dive deeper if needed. What do you think of this approach?

| 1. **Check MCP server status**: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| gemini-cli mcp status |

fix: i think the command is gemini and not gemini-cli.
also, there is no gemini mcp status command. the closest is gemini --prompt /mcp list.
for the tools a gemini --prompt /tools
this is true for examples below. you'll need the --prompt flag.

Oups, this was my mistake. I am sorry for this and thank you for catching it. I will fix it below with a new commit.
✅ Changed all gemini-cli commands to gemini
✅ Fixed gemini mcp status to gemini --prompt /mcp list
✅ Fixed gemini mcp list-tools to gemini --prompt /tools
✅ Added --prompt flags where needed throughout the examples
- Replace all 'gemini-cli' commands with correct 'gemini' syntax - Fix verification commands to use '/mcp list' and '/tools' prompts - Add httpUrl remote server method as primary configuration option - Update config file paths from settings.json to config.json - Correct npx installation command syntax - Add link to official Gemini CLI documentation Addresses feedback from soisyourface in PR review.
