Gemini CLI

Star snapshot：⭐ 106.1k · 2026-07 snapshot

Why it's picked

Google's open-source terminal agent: a generous free tier, built-in Google Search and MCP support. A capable assistant right in your shell — and the best second knife to keep beside Claude Code.

Laojin's advice

Keep it as a backup alongside Claude Code and use whichever feels better on the day. The free tier has daily caps — heavy use needs an API key. MCP support means your own tools plug right in.
