Gemini CLI social data: paste the config and go

3 steps to connect

1. Put.gemini/settings.json in the project directory (same contents as above), or write it into your user-level settings.
2. Set BUSYBEE_API_KEY in your environment variables so the key never lands in a config file.
3. Run gemini and use /mcp to confirm busybee is connected.
4. Good for scripted batch work: have it generate a comment-insight table for 20 topics in one pass.

Config file

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "busybee": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://lucydomi.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Keep the key out of the code repository; use an environment variable or the client's built-in key management.

What you can do after setup

Three typical jobs: ① keyword topic research — search the past week's top performers under a term and read what the comments are asking; ② competitor account monitoring — pull a given account's recent posts and how interaction is moving; ③ creator shortlisting — search accounts by niche, compare followers and interaction, then pull each account's posts.

Copy and run

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "busybee": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://lucydomi.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
