# Gemini Cloud Assist MCP — Google Cloud Ops Tools > Google Cloud Assist MCP server (Private Preview) that connects MCP clients to Gemini Cloud Assist APIs; verified 60 stars and remote MCP endpoints. ## Install Merge the JSON below into your `.mcp.json`: ## Quick Use ```bash gcloud auth login gcloud auth application-default login gemini extensions install https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gemini-cloud-assist-mcp ``` ## Intro Google Cloud Assist MCP server (Private Preview) that connects MCP clients to Gemini Cloud Assist APIs; verified 60 stars and remote MCP endpoints. **Best for:** GCP teams who want MCP-native troubleshooting, infra design, and cost analysis workflows via Gemini Cloud Assist tools **Works with:** Gemini CLI extensions, Google Cloud SDK + ADC auth, remote MCP URLs, and required IAM roles **Setup time:** 15-30 minutes ## Main - The README is upfront about constraints: the APIs are in Private Preview behind an allowlist, and the project migrated to a Remote MCP Server architecture (v0.8.0+). - Auth is concrete and verifiable: it uses Application Default Credentials and documents required IAM roles like `roles/serviceusage.serviceUsageAdmin` and `roles/geminicloudassist.user`. - It publishes remote MCP endpoints (e.g., `https://geminicloudassist.googleapis.com/mcp`) and a long timeout example (600000ms) for long-running investigations. ### FAQ - **Can I use it today?**: Only if you have allowlisted access; the README says to contact your Google Cloud account team. - **Local or remote server?**: The README says it migrated to remote MCP; pin older versions only for legacy local transition. - **What should I do first?**: Set up ADC with `gcloud auth application-default login`, then configure your MCP client to the remote URL. ## Source & Thanks > Source: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gemini-cloud-assist-mcp > License: Apache-2.0 > GitHub stars: 60 · forks: 19 --- ## Quick Use ```bash gcloud auth login gcloud auth application-default login gemini extensions install https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gemini-cloud-assist-mcp ``` ## Intro Gemini Cloud Assist MCP server(Private Preview/allowlist);已核验 60 stars,提供 remote MCP 端点,让 MCP 客户端通过 ADC/OAuth 调用 Cloud Assist APIs。 **Best for:** 希望用 MCP 方式接入 Gemini Cloud Assist,实现排障/架构设计/成本优化等工作流的 GCP 团队 **Works with:** Gemini CLI 扩展、Google Cloud SDK + ADC 认证、remote MCP URL,以及所需 IAM 角色 **Setup time:** 15-30 minutes ## Main - README 很明确地说明限制:API 处于 Private Preview(allowlist),并已迁移到 Remote MCP Server 架构(建议 v0.8.0+)。 - 认证路径可核验:使用 ADC(Application Default Credentials),并列出必需 IAM 角色(如 `roles/serviceusage.serviceUsageAdmin`、`roles/geminicloudassist.user`)。 - 它公开了 remote MCP 端点(例如 `https://geminicloudassist.googleapis.com/mcp`)以及 600000ms 的超时配置示例,适合长时间排障任务。 ### FAQ - **现在就能用吗?**:只有在 allowlist 内才行;README 建议联系 Google Cloud 账号团队申请访问。 - **是本地还是远程?**:README 说明已迁移为 remote MCP;旧本地版本仅用于过渡期。 - **第一步做什么?**:先用 `gcloud auth application-default login` 配好 ADC,再把 MCP 客户端指向 remote URL。 ## Source & Thanks > Source: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gemini-cloud-assist-mcp > License: Apache-2.0 > GitHub stars: 60 · forks: 19 --- Source: https://tokrepo.com/en/workflows/gemini-cloud-assist-mcp-google-cloud-ops-tools Author: MCP Hub
