# Valency Gemini CLI Extension
A Gemini CLI extension that connects to the [Valency](https://app.valency.io) MCP server, giving Gemini direct access to scientific papers from arXiv, bioRxiv, medRxiv, and PubMed.
## Install
```
# update to the latest version. In Mac: brew update gemini-cli
gemini extensions install https://github.com/valency-oss/valency-gemini-extension --auto-update
```
## Authenticate
Start `gemini`, then run:
```
/mcp auth valency
```
Sign in with the email you use at [app.valency.io](https://app.valency.io). The Valency account is independent of your Google account, so the two emails do not need to match.
## Verify
Inside `gemini`, run:
```
/mcp list
```
You should see `valency` listed as connected, with its tools enumerated underneath.
Try a prompt like:
> Search for papers about quantum computing.
Gemini will pick the right Valency tool and stream results back.
## Accounts and docs
Create or manage your account at [app.valency.io](https://app.valency.io). Documentation for the underlying tools and the research platform lives at [valency.io](https://valency.io).
## Troubleshooting
If `/mcp auth valency` fails, first confirm the extension installed cleanly:
```
gemini extensions list
```
If auth completes but no Valency tools appear, restart `gemini` so it picks up the new server connection.
<details>
<summary>Manual install (for environments where <code>gemini extensions install</code> is unavailable)</summary>
If you're on a corp-locked machine or otherwise can't use the extensions system, drop the MCP server config into your `~/.gemini/settings.json` directly:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"valency": {
"httpUrl": "https://labs.valency.io/mcp",
"authProviderType": "dynamic_discovery",
"oauth": {
"enabled": true,
"clientId": "I79Au33SE0lkwFXN",
"redirectUri": "http://localhost:33418/oauth/callback"
}
}
}
}
```
Then restart `gemini` and run `/mcp auth valency` as above.
