How to install Honcho in Gemini CLI

Memory that reasons: continual learning for stateful agents. Better context, fewer tokens.

Indexed, not yet reviewed

We found Honcho in the official MCP registry. Our automated check passed on Nov 1, 2026 (it confirms the server is published and reachable), but no one at CuratedMCP has reviewed its code, permissions or credentials handling. Check what it can access before you give it keys. Scan your machine free to see every MCP server you have installed.

Steps

1Open ~/.gemini/settings.json (or .gemini/settings.json in your project)
2Add the entry below. If the file already has "mcpServers", add just the inner entry
3Restart Gemini CLI and run /mcp to confirm

      }
    }
  }
