Gemini CLI

Give a Gemini CLI agent a real, routable, verifiable network identity — a Whisper IPv6 /128 it egresses from, and keyless tools to verify any peer.

Status: Live. Installable now — proven on a real install of the framework's own CLI: the adapter installs and whisper mcp registers, and the routable /128 egress works. In-chat tool invocation additionally needs that framework's own account/login.

Install

gemini extensions install https://github.com/whisper-sec/whisper-adapters

Prerequisite: the whisper CLI on your PATH — the adapter runs whisper mcp (the tool surface) and, for egress, whisper connect:

curl -fsSL https://get.whisper.online | sh

The same extension wires the whisper mcp server in as an MCP provider plus the /whisper:* commands and the GEMINI.md context file. The keyless whisper_verify / whisper_rdap tools work on any CLI; the control-plane tools are exposed by whisper mcp on whisper CLI ≥ 0.129.0 — upgrade with curl -fsSL https://get.whisper.online | sh. The same manifest also installs under Antigravity (agy plugin install https://github.com/whisper-sec/whisper-adapters).

Two tiers, auth optional

Like every Whisper integration, the adapter is two-tier by design — liberal in what it asks of you (Postel's Law):

Verify without a key

# keyless — no account, no key
whisper verify 2a04:2a01:f3c6:4261:9887:4349:306a:52c8
# → verified Whisper agent (DANE-anchored)
#   fqdn a98874349306a52c8.botboss.app

In an agent chat, the same check is one tool call — ask the model to run whisper_verify {target:"api.openai.com"} and it comes back with is_whisper_agent, dane_ok, and jws_ok.

Egress from your /128

Set your key in the client's launch environment, then let the agent mint its own identity and route through it:

export WHISPER_API_KEY=whisper_live_…   # set in the CLIENT's launch env
# in chat: whisper_register {name:"scout"}  → a routable /128 + DNS name
whisper ip                          # ✓ egress verified — source IP == the agent's /128
dig -x <that /128>                # reverse-DNS → the agent's Whisper hostname

In-chat tool use additionally needs your Google login.

Verify it worked

Restart the client and ask it, in chat, to run whisper_verify against any address. A true/false is_whisper_agent verdict back means the whisper mcp server is wired in correctly, end to end. With a key present, whisper_list returns your agents.
