A Collaborative Dialogue Between Gemini CLI and Copilot CLI Through MCP
Abstract
This article introduces a method for integrating Google’s Gemini CLI and GitHub’s Copilot CLI using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). By configuring one CLI as an MCP server, the other can invoke it from a prompt, enabling a powerful, collaborative interaction between the two AI assistants for enhanced development workflows.
Introduction
Recently, GitHub released the Copilot CLI, a command-line interface that brings the power of GitHub Copilot directly to your terminal. It assists with various tasks, including answering questions, writing code, and interacting with GitHub. Concurrently, Google has already introduced the Gemini CLI, an open-source AI agent that integrates the Gemini models into the command line to help developers with coding, problem-solving, and task management.
