Building an MCP Client for Gemini in the Terminal
The Client's Role: The MCP Client acts as the bridge, establishing the connection between the user's terminal input and the Gemini model via the MCP specification.
Tool Orchestration: The client is responsible for dynamic tool discovery (learning what the server can do) and coordinating the execution of tools (like your terminal runner) when Gemini requests them.
Seamless Chat Loop: It manages a continuous conversation, sending user queries to Gemini and returning the synthesized, human-readable response (which may include the results of tool actions) back to the command line.
