How Gemini CLI reaches your HighLevel account

MCP

HighLevel MCP. Connects straight to HighLevel's official MCP server with a Private Integration Token kept on your machine or server.

Set up Gemini CLI with HighLevel in 3 steps

1. Install Gemini CLI and export GHL_PIT and GHL_LOCATION_ID.
2. Add the server to ~/.gemini/settings.json.
3. Run gemini and type /mcp to list tools.

~/.gemini/settings.json

// ~/.gemini/settings.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "highlevel": {
      "httpUrl": "https://services.leadconnectorhq.com/mcp/",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer $GHL_PIT", "locationId": "$GHL_LOCATION_ID" }
    }
  }
}

Create the token in the sub-account under Settings → Private Integrations. Keep it in your environment, a secure prompt or the tool's credential store; never paste it into a shared file.
