Gemini Web MCP: FastMCP Server with Tiered Tool Permissions
Ink_cat_llm · reddit · 2026-07-05
A developer introduced Gemini Web MCP, a Python FastMCP server that enables secure access to Gemini Web from MCP-compatible agents. Its core mechanism uses a GEMINITOOLS config file to control tool exposure, categorizing them into tiers like model/chat (pure model calls), history (reading historical records), history-organize (organizing history and Notebooks), account-read (read-only account info), and scheduled-admin (opt-in scheduled task management). This prevents account, history, and admin functions from being fully exposed by default.
The project also bundles a public Codex skill pack (located at .agents/skills/gemini-web-mcp), a standalone skill zip, MCP annotations, and a manifest tool. This allows agents to verify safety, privacy, and the boundaries of destructive actions before making a call. The developer is actively seeking community feedback on the tiered design and the clarity of its privacy boundaries.
