Esc	Exit without saving

Integration with Geminicli

You can also run this tool directly from Geminicli using the /manage-addon slash command:

1. Create ~/.gemini/commands/manage-addon.toml:

description = "Manage extensions and MCP servers"

prompt = """
I will launch the Geminicli Addon Manager TUI tool for you.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Use Ctrl+F to interact with the TUI tool (arrow keys, space, enter)
2. After making changes, you MUST restart Gemini CLI for the new settings to take effect

Running the tool now...

Execute: `geminicli-manage-addon`

After you finish:
- Press Enter to save and exit
- Press Esc to exit without saving
- Then restart Gemini CLI to apply the changes
"""

2. In Geminicli, type:

/manage-addon

3. Important: Press Ctrl+F to interact with the TUI

4. After making changes: Restart Gemini CLI to apply the new settings

Configuration Files

This tool manages the following configuration files:

File	Purpose
~/.gemini/extensions/extension-enablement.json	Extension enable/disable states
~/.gemini/extensions/mcp-server-enablement.json	Extension-based MCP server states
~/.gemini/settings.json	Standalone MCP server states (via mcp.excluded)

All files are automatically backed up with a .bak extension before saving.

How It Works

Extension Management

Extensions are enabled/disabled by modifying the overrides array in extension-enablement.json:

• Enabled: ["/Users/username/*"]
• Disabled: ["!/Users/username/*"]

Extension-based MCP Servers

MCP servers within extensions are managed via mcp-server-enablement.json:

{
  "github": {
    "github": true
  },
  "chrome-devtools-mcp": {
    "chrome-devtools": false
  }
}

Standalone MCP Servers

Standalone MCP servers (defined in settings.json) are managed via the mcp.excluded array:

{
  "mcp": {
    "excluded": ["pointer", "context7", "deepwiki"]
  }
}

Development

Setup

git clone https://github.com/castle-studio-work/geminicli-manage-addon.git
cd geminicli-manage-addon
npm install

Run locally

npm start

Technical Details

• Framework: Ink - React for CLIs
• Language: ES6 Modules (Node.js)
• Compatibility: Node.js v18+ (tested on v25.2.1)
• No JSX: Uses React.createElement for maximum compatibility

Troubleshooting

Command not found

If geminicli-manage-addon is not found after installation:

1. Check npm global bin directory:

   npm config get prefix
   

2. Ensure the bin directory is in your PATH:

   export PATH="$(npm config get prefix)/bin:$PATH"
   

Permission errors

If you encounter permission errors when saving:

# Check file permissions
ls -la ~/.gemini/extensions/extension-enablement.json
ls -la ~/.gemini/settings.json

# Fix if needed
chmod 644 ~/.gemini/extensions/extension-enablement.json
chmod 644 ~/.gemini/settings.json

安裝

前置需求

• Node.js >= 18.0.0
• 已安裝並設定好 Geminicli

從 npm 安裝（推薦）

npm install -g geminicli-manage-addon

從原始碼安裝

git clone https://github.com/castle-studio-work/geminicli-manage-addon.git
cd geminicli-manage-addon
npm install
npm link

使用方式

執行 TUI

geminicli-manage-addon

鍵盤控制

按鍵	動作
↑ / ↓	在項目間導航
空白鍵	切換啟用/停用
Enter	儲存變更並退出
Esc	不儲存退出

與 Geminicli 整合

您也可以使用 /manage-addon 斜線指令直接從 Geminicli 執行此工具：

1. 建立 ~/.gemini/commands/manage-addon.toml：

description = "Manage extensions and MCP servers"

prompt = """
I will launch the Geminicli Addon Manager TUI tool for you.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Use Ctrl+F to interact with the TUI tool (arrow keys, space, enter)
2. After making changes, you MUST restart Gemini CLI for the new settings to take effect

Running the tool now...

Execute: `geminicli-manage-addon`

After you finish:
- Press Enter to save and exit
- Press Esc to exit without saving
- Then restart Gemini CLI to apply the changes
"""

2. 在 Geminicli 中輸入：

/manage-addon

3. 重要：按 Ctrl+F 來操作 TUI

4. 完成變更後：重新啟動 Gemini CLI 以套用新設定

設定檔

此工具管理以下設定檔：

檔案	用途
~/.gemini/extensions/extension-enablement.json	擴充功能啟用/停用狀態
~/.gemini/extensions/mcp-server-enablement.json	擴充功能內的 MCP 伺服器狀態
~/.gemini/settings.json	獨立 MCP 伺服器狀態（透過 mcp.excluded）

所有檔案在儲存前都會自動備份為 .bak 副檔名。

運作原理

擴充功能管理

擴充功能透過修改 extension-enablement.json 中的 overrides 陣列來啟用/停用：

• 啟用：["/Users/username/*"]
• 停用：["!/Users/username/*"]

擴充功能內的 MCP 伺服器

擴充功能內的 MCP 伺服器透過 mcp-server-enablement.json 管理：

{
  "github": {
    "github": true
  },
  "chrome-devtools-mcp": {
    "chrome-devtools": false
  }
}

獨立 MCP 伺服器

獨立 MCP 伺服器（定義在 settings.json 中）透過 mcp.excluded 陣列管理：

{
  "mcp": {
    "excluded": ["pointer", "context7", "deepwiki"]
  }
}

開發

設定

# 檢查檔案權限
ls -la ~/.gemini/extensions/extension-enablement.json
ls -la ~/.gemini/settings.json

# 如需修正
chmod 644 ~/.gemini/extensions/extension-enablement.json
chmod 644 ~/.gemini/settings.json
