Workshop: Gemini CLI with Model Context Protocol (MCP) and ML Certifications

Workshop: Gemini CLI with Model Context Protocol (MCP) and ML Certifications
This workshop offers a practical exploration of the Gemini Command-Line Interface (CLI) and its integration with the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The session is designed for professionals and enthusiasts seeking to leverage generative AI within their development workflows. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI models to interact with external tools and systems.

Participants will gain a foundational understanding of how to configure and operate this powerful, no-cost tool for seamless interaction with the Gemini API. The curriculum includes practical exercises on executing prompts, analyzing code, and automating routine development tasks, all from within a command-line environment.

This event is a pilot program, and we expect collaboration from participants to be instrumental in improving the workshop for future iterations. The content is structured to be functionally similar to other command-line AI tools, with a dedicated focus on the unique capabilities of the Gemini API.

Maria Cilione,

Lavoro con passione nel mondo della tecnologia, sviluppando soluzioni backend, mobile e cloud per progetti complessi, con un approccio semplice ed efficace. Sono curiosa per natura: nel tempo libero leggo articoli su sviluppo software, architettura dei sistemi, astronomia, storia, arte, e molto altro. Amo i thriller e coltivo la curiosità come il motore principale del mio lavoro.
