## Workflow: Claude + Gemini

The killer combination for development:

| Claude | Gemini |
|--------|--------|
| Complex logic | Frontend/UI |
| Architecture | Visual components |
| Backend code | Image generation |
| Integration | React/CSS styling |
| Reasoning | Creative generation |

**Example workflow:**
1. Ask Claude to design the backend API
2. Use `gemini-generate-image` for UI mockups
3. Ask Gemini to generate React components via `gemini-query`
4. Use multi-turn editing to refine visuals
5. Let Claude wire everything together

## Tool Configuration

By default, all 37 tools are loaded. To reduce context usage, configure which tools to load:

### Available Presets

| Preset | Tool Groups |
|--------|-------------|
| `minimal` | query, brainstorm |
| `text` | query, brainstorm, analyze, summarize, structured |
| `image` | query, image-gen, image-edit, image-analyze |
| `research` | query, search, deep-research, url-context, document |
| `media` | query, image-gen, image-edit, image-analyze, video-gen, youtube, speech |
| `full` | All 18 tool groups (default) |

### Using Presets

```bash
# Minimal - query and brainstorm
GEMINI_TOOL_PRESET=minimal

# Text processing
GEMINI_TOOL_PRESET=text  # query, brainstorm, analyze, summarize, structured

# Image workflows
GEMINI_TOOL_PRESET=image  # query, image-gen, image-edit, image-analyze

# Research workflows

```

### Using Explicit Tool Lists

```bash
# Only specific tools
GEMINI_ENABLED_TOOLS=query,search,image-gen
```

### Combining Preset + Explicit

```bash
# Start with preset, add extras
GEMINI_TOOL_PRESET=minimal
GEMINI_ENABLED_TOOLS=search,image-gen  # Adds to minimal preset
```

## Manual Installation

### Global Install

```bash
# Using npm
npm install -g @rlabs-inc/gemini-mcp

# Using bun
bun install -g @rlabs-inc/gemini-mcp
```

### Claude Code Configuration

```json
{
  "gemini": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "@rlabs-inc/gemini-mcp"],
    "env": {
      "GEMINI_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
      "GEMINI_OUTPUT_DIR": "/path/to/save/files"
    }
  }
}
```

---

## Troubleshooting

### Rate Limits (429 Errors)

If you're hitting rate limits on the free tier:
- Set `GEMINI_MODEL=gemini-3-flash-preview` to use Flash for init (higher limits)
- Or upgrade to a paid plan

### Connection Issues

1. Verify your API key at [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/apikey)
2. Check server status: `claude mcp list`
3. Try with verbose logging: `VERBOSE=true`

### Image/Video Issues

- Ensure your API key has access to image/video generation
- Check output directory permissions
- Files save to `GEMINI_OUTPUT_DIR` (default: `./gemini-output`)
- For 4K images, generation takes longer
