Connecting PF Create to Gemini CLI

Difficulty: Easy — one terminal command or config edit.
Requires: Node.js 20+, a Google account, and a Google AI Studio API key (free)

Before You Start

• Your pfk_… API key — find it on your account page
• A Google AI Studio API key from aistudio.google.com (free tier available)

Install Gemini CLI

npm install -g @google/gemini-cli

Quick Command

gemini mcp add pfcreate https://mcp.pfcreate.ca/sse --transport sse --header "Authorization: Bearer pfk_YOUR_KEY_HERE"

Manual Config

Edit ~/.gemini/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pfcreate": {
      "url": "https://mcp.pfcreate.ca/sse",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer pfk_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Activate

2. Restart Gemini CLI: run gemini in your terminal.
3. Verify: gemini /mcp list — look for ✓ pfcreate: Connected.
