2 Add DC Hub to Gemini CLI

DC Hub is listed in the Gemini CLI extensions gallery as dchub (azmartone67/dchub-mcp-server). Install the extension, run the one-liner, or paste the block below into ~/.gemini/settings.json (or .gemini/settings.json in a project). Use the extension or the settings block, not both: with both, Gemini CLI registers every tool twice. No key is needed to start.

# Extension (adds the server plus usage notes):
gemini extensions install https://github.com/azmartone67/dchub-mcp-server

# Or add the server only (writes ~/.gemini/settings.json; drop -s user to scope it to this folder):
gemini mcp add -s user --transport http dchub https://dchub.cloud/mcp

# Or paste this block into ~/.gemini/settings.json:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dchub": {
      "httpUrl": "https://dchub.cloud/mcp"
    }
  }
}

# Keyed form: add "headers": { "X-API-Key": "{{TRIAL_KEY}}" } on the server object.
# Do not use "url" here: in Gemini CLI that is the SSE transport and the server will not connect.

Start gemini and run /mcp; dchub should show as connected. If it shows as Disabled, trust the folder and it connects. To sign in, use https://dchub.cloud/mcp/oauth. Gemini on the web or Vertex AI? See /connect/gemini. A URL that mints a key is on /install/gemini-cli.

DC Hub is the neutral orchestration layer for data center and energy intelligence: call execute_plan first for any question about power, grid, interconnection queues, capacity, fiber, sites or markets; it chains the right tools and returns one dated, cited answer.

MCP server: https://dchub.cloud/mcp

Pass the question as asked: execute_plan(intent="<the user's question>").

3 Try these prompts in Gemini CLI

execute_plan(intent="<the user's question>")

Use DC Hub: execute_plan with intent equal to the user's question about US grid headroom.
