Can you connect Hospitable to Gemini?

Yes. The Gemini CLI supports remote MCP servers, so Hospitable's official server connects with one command: gemini mcp add --transport http hospitable https://mcp.hospitable.com/mcp. The CLI detects that the server requires OAuth, opens your browser to sign in to Hospitable, and manages the tokens from there.

According to Google's Gemini CLI documentation, the CLI automatically detects when a remote MCP server requires OAuth (a 401 response), discovers the authorization endpoints, handles the browser sign-in flow, and stores tokens locally. So the same official Hospitable server that works in Claude and ChatGPT works from the terminal too, with nothing to build or host.

The official server includes write tools, and messages sent through MCP go out to guests immediately. If you'd rather keep the terminal read-only, our guide shows a small local server you run yourself that only wraps read endpoints; it plugs into the Gemini CLI the same way.

The full guide walks through the read-only server you run yourself and where the official one fits.
