Work your LinkedIn pipeline in Gemini CLI.

Add Embers to Gemini CLI to read your ranked queue, draft openers, and update leads by chat. It reads and drafts. It never acts on LinkedIn.

Set up Gemini CLI

Add Embers with gemini mcp add, then approve it in the browser.

Command

gemini mcp add --transport http --scope user embers https://mcp.useembers.com/mcp

settings.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "embers": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.useembers.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Sign-in returns to localhost, so run it on a machine with a browser, not over SSH. /mcp lists the Embers tools.

  1. Run the command below. With --scope user, Embers goes in ~/.gemini/settings.json and works in every folder.
  2. Or add the settings below by hand. Use httpUrl, not url. A plain url means the older SSE transport.
  3. On first connect, or with /mcp auth embers, the browser opens. Approve Embers. There is no API key and no client id.

What Gemini CLI can do with Embers

  • Read today's ranked queue, and why each lead surfaced
  • Search leads with the same filters as the app
  • Open a lead: score, engagement, notes, status
  • Draft an opener, saved for you to send
  • Update statuses, follow-ups, and outcomes
  • Rank your posts and sources by the leads they brought
  • Watch profiles, track keywords, or reveal a contact, after asking
  • Change your ICP or push leads to a tool you connected, after asking

Then just ask

One sentence, real work back.

Gemini CLI picks the right Embers tool, reads your queue or updates the lead, and replies in the chat. No dashboard, no export step, and nothing sent on LinkedIn.

  • “What should I work on today?”
  • “Draft an opener for Nicolas Cole and save it on the lead.”
  • “Mark Ben Shafii contacted and set a follow-up for Tuesday.”

19 tools

Nineteen actions, and nothing outside them.

Read tools change nothing. Write tools save one lead. The six that start scans, spend credits, or reach further tell you what would happen and what they would use, and wait for you.

  • Drafts are saved for you to send yourself
  • A scan starts only after you say yes
  • Every action is logged for 90 days

Security and data

Connects to your account, touches nothing else.

  • OAuth, no API key

    You approve Embers in the browser. Embers issues the credentials. There is no key to copy or store.

  • Asks before it spends

    Starting a scan, revealing a contact, editing your ICP, blocking a company, or pushing leads tells you what it would use and waits for your agreement.

  • Cannot act on LinkedIn

    No posts, messages, comments, connection requests, or follows. An assistant starts a scan only after you agree to a new profile, keyword, or post.

  • Audit log, revoke any time

    Developer, then Connected apps lists every action and keeps that history for 90 days. Revoke cuts access off immediately.

  • 300 actions an hour

    An assistant is limited to 300 actions an hour on this address. That covers a conversation and stops one stuck in a loop.

  • Bound to one address

    Credentials last an hour, renew quietly for up to 30 days, and work only against the Embers MCP address.

Full details in the MCP setup guide, the security page, and the Privacy Policy.
