Connect Gemini CLI to shadcn/ui
One line gives Gemini CLI your shadcn/ui account as tools: 2 endpoints, list components, search components, get component, called with your own connection. No key in the prompt, a receipt for every call, revoke Gemini CLI's access alone any time.
Three steps
- Create a free 0n3 account and connect shadcn/ui. Paste a key or sign in; it lands in your vault, encrypted.
- Install 0n3 into Gemini CLI. Google's terminal agent. One command at user scope.
- Ask Gemini CLI: whoami. Then: "Get a component schema in shadcn/ui".
Install (user scope)
gemini mcp add --scope user --transport http 0n3 https://0n3.app/mcp -H "Authorization: Bearer <your 0n token>"
The line above carries a placeholder; 0n3.app/install mints a real key named for Gemini CLI and fills it in.
