Gopher & Gemini MCP Server

A modern, cross-platform Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to browse and interact with both Gopher protocol>) and Gemini protocol resources safely and efficiently. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with gemini and gopher and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Gopher & Gemini MCP Server

before you install - you'll need

Set GOPHER_MAX_RESPONSE_SIZE, GOPHER_TIMEOUT_SECONDS, GOPHER_CACHE_ENABLED, GOPHER_ALLOWED_HOSTS, GEMINI_MAX_RESPONSE_SIZE, GEMINI_TIMEOUT_SECONDS, GEMINI_TOFU_ENABLED, GEMINI_CLIENT_CERTS_ENABLED, GEMINI_ALLOWED_HOSTS before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add cameronrye-gopher-mcp -- uvx gopher-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cameronrye-gopher-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "gopher-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
