{
  "mcpServers": {
    "context-engine": {
      "command": "cce",
      "args": ["serve"]
    }
  }
}

GEMINI.md

Section titled “GEMINI.md”

Contains instructions for Gemini to prefer context_search over reading files directly. The CCE block is wrapped in markers so your own content is preserved.

Auto-detection

Section titled “Auto-detection”

CCE detects Gemini CLI when a .gemini/ directory exists in your project root or home directory. No explicit --agent flag is needed if the directory is present.
