Connect Hypello to Gemini

Add Hypello to the Gemini app as a custom app, or to Gemini CLI and Antigravity, and manage your Instagram automations by chat.

You can use Hypello in the Gemini app on the web and in Google's command-line tools.

Gemini app

Google calls MCP servers "custom apps" in the Gemini app.

Requirements from Google: a personal Google Account (not a work or school account), age 18 or over, in the US, English only, and Keep Activity turned on.

  1. On a computer, go to gemini.google.com.

  2. Open Settings at the bottom of the page, then Connected Apps. If you don't see it, open Personal Intelligence first, then Connected Apps.

  3. Under Custom apps, click Add a custom app.

  4. Enter the server URL and click Next:

    https://mcp.hypello.com/mcp
  5. Sign in to Hypello on the page that opens and click Allow.

To use it, type @ in a chat and choose Hypello. Gemini asks you to confirm every action that creates or changes something.

Official guide: Connect custom apps to Gemini.

Gemini CLI

  1. Add Hypello:

    gemini mcp add --transport http hypello https://mcp.hypello.com/mcp

    This saves it for the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

  2. In Gemini CLI, run /mcp auth hypello, sign in to Hypello in the browser and click Allow.

Or add it to settings.json yourself (~/.gemini/settings.json for every project):

settings.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hypello": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.hypello.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Google replaced Gemini CLI with Antigravity CLI for unpaid-tier and Google One users on June 18, 2026. If that's you, use the Antigravity steps below.

Official guide: MCP servers with Gemini CLI.

Antigravity

Antigravity uses serverUrl in its MCP config. Add this to ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json for every project, or .agents/mcp_config.json for one workspace:

mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hypello": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.hypello.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Then open the agent settings, go to the Customizations tab, click Authenticate next to Hypello and sign in.

Official guide: Antigravity MCP.

Gemini Enterprise

Gemini Enterprise needs an admin to enter a fixed OAuth client ID and secret for each MCP server. If your company uses Gemini Enterprise, email hello@hypello.com and we'll help you set it up.
