How to build a Gemini-CLI extension! I really believe GCEs will explode in popularity and availability over the next few weeks to months and wanted to show you exactly how to build one! This one will be a Subnet Calculator Extension for Gemini-CLI ! This includes an MCP server that has a tool decorating the Python used to perform subnet calculation given a CIDR address. I will show you how to setup your gemini-extension.json file and how to best incorporate your MCP server - virtual environment packages and all - as well as how to add custom slash commands - all easily installed from GitHub in 1 command! This is like VS Code extensions and has a bit of a Docker-esque feel to it - simplifying and reducing friction between MCP and Gemini-CLI developers and users / consumers.

Great video explaining how to build a Gemini CLI extension. I love how you vibe coded a lot of it. Shows that you don't have to do all the work yourself!
