How to connect Monitly to Gemini CLI
Monitly gives Gemini CLI read-only access to official statistics (100,000+ datasets for 150+ countries from Eurostat, OECD, the World Bank, the IMF, WHO and national statistics offices). Every number comes with its source, dataset and period.
Server URL
https://monit.ly/api/mcp/public
No sign-in is needed: the server is public and read-only.
Steps
- Install the extension:
gemini extensions install https://github.com/ContentWriterco/Monitly-MCP - Start gemini; the server is ready immediately (check with /mcp).
- Or add the server without the extension:
gemini mcp add --transport http monitly https://monit.ly/api/mcp/public
- The extension also adds a short GEMINI.md with instructions on which tools to call in what order.

Cost and limits
Monitly's public MCP server is free and needs no account or API key. A fair-use limit of 300 requests per user per day applies.
The tools are read-only: search_catalog, inspect_dataset, get_dataset and get_series. See the MCP documentation for parameters, or the GitHub repository.
