Use Piply in Gemini CLI
Gemini CLI has its own MCP setup, separate from Gemini's custom apps on the web. Add Piply from your terminal, then sign in through your browser. Gemini CLI's account and regional availability rules apply.

Illustrative prompt. After connecting, check the source references and any saved result in Piply. This example is not a record of a completed tool call.
Account access and review
Sign-in authorizes the connection to your Piply account under the permissions you approve. Asking about one file does not restrict access to that file. Review the host’s tool controls and check generated content against your materials. Disconnecting does not retract information already sent to the host.
What you need
- Gemini CLI installed.
- A Piply account (free).

What Gemini CLI can do with Piply
These tasks need a client that can call the relevant Piply tools and your approved permissions. Saving requires a course you created; shared and public courses are read-only. Ask the host to use Piply, then check its response and any saved result.
- Find source material Search course materials and request page references you can check.
- Make and save quizzes Request a quiz from selected pages, then check its questions and saved lessons in Piply.
- Save flashcards Successfully saved flashcard sets join spaced-repetition reviews in Piply. Ask the host to save the set and check its link.
- Save study resources Request study notes, mind maps, word searches or anagram games and check the saved result.
- Check review priorities Request due reviews, recorded weak topics and Piply’s suggested next study step.
- Add course materials Save text as material. File import needs a supported host attachment or upload workflow.
