Using Antigravity and/or Gemini AI inside Rhino

Hi there,

maybe someone can help me. I got the new Rhino 9 and wanted to test the built in AI Panel. Now I tried adding Gemini AI, since I have a paid subscription (AI Plus) and would like to use it. But I cant find a way to add it it seems.

Hi @lukaskirschnick,

The AI panel in the current Rhino 9 lists Claude and Codex only. Gemini is not available in the panel’s agent drop-down at this time, so there’s no setting to add it there.

You can still use Gemini with Rhino 9 through Gemini CLI, which talks to Rhino over MCP:

  1. Install Gemini CLI and sign in with your Google account.
  2. In Rhino 9, run MCPConnect. It prints the command Gemini CLI needs to launch the Rhino MCP router.
  3. Add that command to the mcpServers section of ~/.gemini/settings.json, using --default-version 9.
  4. Restart Gemini CLI. The rhino server should then show up when you list MCP servers.

Step-by-step details are here: RhinoAI – Gemini CLI

Other MCP-capable clients can point at the same router as well.
