Research direction
Start with docs/installation-guides/install-antigravity.md and compare its current IDE coverage with the linked Antigravity CLI migration and usage references. Add or link a CLI section covering the global and workspace paths, both configuration examples, the required serverUrl parameter, and /mcp; done means a migrating user can configure and check the GitHub server without relying on IDE instructions.

Description
Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve
Google recently announced the transition from Gemini CLI to the new Antigravity CLI, with the deprecation of Gemini CLI for free and Pro/Ultra tiers taking effect on June 18, 2026.
Currently, the official repository documentation in docs/installation-guides/install-antigravity.md only covers installation steps for the Antigravity IDE. While the core MCP configuration format is similar, Antigravity CLI uses completely different configuration file paths and directories compared to the desktop IDE. Without explicit documentation for the CLI, users migrating from Gemini CLI will struggle to locate where to place their mcp_config.json files.
Proposed solution
We propose updating the documentation to explicitly include setup instructions for the Antigravity CLI, either by adding a dedicated section to install-antigravity.md or creating a standalone guide.
The documentation should highlight the correct configuration paths and parameters unique to the CLI:
1. Configuration File Locations for Antigravity CLI
- Global Configuration:
~/.gemini/antigravity-cli/mcp_config.json - Workspace Configuration:
.agents/mcp_config.json
2. Configuration Setup Options
The guide should provide both setup methods compatible with the CLI architecture:
Option 1: Remote Server Configuration
{
"mcpServers": {
"github": {
"serverUrl": "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_GITHUB_PAT"
}
}
}
}
(Note: Emphasize that serverUrl is strictly required instead of url or httpUrl)
Option 2: Local Docker Server Configuration
{
"mcpServers": {
"github": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"-i",
"--rm",
"-e",
"GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN",
"ghcr.io/github/github-mcp-server"
],
"env": {
"GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "YOUR_GITHUB_PAT"
}
}
}
}
3. CLI Management Commands
Include a mention of the built-in management commands inside the Antigravity CLI terminal interface to check status:
- Use
/mcpto list and manage active MCP servers.
Example prompts or workflows (for tools/toolsets only)
Not applicable as this is a documentation improvement request. However, it enables the following user workflow within the new CLI environment:
- User initializes a project using Antigravity CLI.
- User runs
/mcpto check connected servers, notices GitHub is missing. - User follows the updated guide to create
.agents/mcp_config.jsonin their repository root. - User runs a terminal command like:
