Use Klio with Gemini CLI

Add Klio to Gemini CLI's settings and work through your board from the terminal.

!Before you start: create a token in Klio under Settings → Connect agents, and use it in place of klio_YOUR_TOKEN.

  1. Add Klio to settings.json

    Use ~/.gemini/settings.json for every project or .gemini/settings.json in one repo. httpUrl means streamable HTTP.

    ~/.gemini/settings.json
    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "klio": {
      "httpUrl": "https://klio.dev/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer klio_YOUR_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

  2. List servers

    Start gemini and run /mcp. Klio is listed with its tools.

    terminal
    gemini
/mcp

  3. Check it works

    Ask: “call klio whoami”.

Then paste the setup prompt

With Gemini CLI connected, this puts the repo on your board and starts building with you. Replace the highlighted part.

The setup prompt
Use Klio (klio.dev) as the project board for this repo. It's connected over MCP as "klio".

1. Call whoami to check the connection. If it fails, stop and tell me what to fix.
2. Find this repo's project with list_projects. If there isn't one, create it with create_project: name it after the repo and pick a short key.
3. Record what's already here: call sync_stack with package.json (and any other manifests), add features that already work as done stories, and half-finished work as stories in progress.
4. What I'm building next: <describe it in a sentence or two>
   Call brief_feature, write small stories with acceptance criteria, show me the plan, and save it with create_feature once I approve.
5. Build it one story at a time: start_issue before you write code, check_criterion as each criterion really passes, complete_issue with a short summary once it's tested. Don't start a second story while one is in progress, and leave Done to me.
6. Before you stop, hand me anything only I can do (secrets, DNS, billing) with flag_for_human.
