README
Gemini MCP File Agent (MVP)
This project lets you chat with Google's Gemini AI and allow it to safely read, write, and list files on your computer within a specific, controlled folder (a "sandbox").
What it does:
mcp_server.py: A local server that Gemini uses to access files. You tell it which folder on your computer is the "sandbox."- Chat Scripts (
chat_with_gemini_mcp.py,simple_chat.py): Command-line chats where you talk to Gemini. Gemini can then use themcp_server.pyto manage files in the sandbox.
USE WITH CAUTION: This is a basic example. Be careful about which folder you let the mcp_server.py access.
Quick Start
-
Get Files: Make sure all
.pyfiles are in one folder. -
API Key:
- Get a Google AI API Key from Google AI Studio.
- Set it as an environment variable:
(For Windows, useexport GOOGLE_API_KEY="YOUR_KEY_HERE"set GOOGLE_API_KEY="YOUR_KEY_HERE")
-
Install Stuff:
pip install -r requirements.txt(Or run
./install_packages.sh) -
Run It:
- Terminal 1: Start the MCP Server
(This creates & uses apython mcp_server.py./mcp_data_sandbox/folder by default. To use a different folder:python mcp_server.py --sandbox-dir ./my_files) - Terminal 2: Start Chatting
python chat_with_gemini_mcp.py
- Terminal 1: Start the MCP Server
-
Chat with Gemini:
- "What files are in my work folder?"
- "Create
notes.txtand write 'Hello world' in it." - "Read
notes.txt."
How it Works (Simply)
- You chat with Gemini.
- If you ask about files, Gemini tells your chat script to use a "file tool."
- Your chat script tells the
mcp_server.pyto do the file action (read, write, etc.) in the sandbox folder. - The server does it and tells the chat script the result.
- The chat script tells Gemini the result.
- Gemini tells you what happened.
Important
- Sandbox Only: The
mcp_server.pycan ONLY touch files inside the folder you pick as the sandbox. This is for safety. - Local Use: Designed to be run on your own computer.
This is a basic tool to explore giving AI file access. Be smart about how you use it!
