Blink Spec MCP Server

This MCP server allows gemini-cli to fetch github comments for a particular issue. It also allows mapping from a spec body to the github URL where issues are located.

Installation

$ agents/extensions/install.py add blink_spec

Setup

In order to use the github API, each person who installs the extension is required to create a personal access token:

Direct link: https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens Or:

• In github, click your avatar at the top-right,

• Click Settings

• Click Developer Settings

• Under Personal access tokens, navigate to Fine-grained tokens

• Create a token and save it somewhere.

  • Note that some groups (w3c) require that the token has an expiration time less than 366 days.
  • Note that at least read-only access is required for Issues and Pull Requests.

Add the access token as a BLINK_SPEC_GITHUB_API_KEY environment variable prior to invoking gemini:

$ echo "export BLINK_SPEC_GITHUB_API_KEY=your_key" >> ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc

Usage

Sample query (after starting gemini-cli):

> summarize css issue 12336

(Googlers only) Note that if the extension is blocked due to not being allowlisted, you can try it by invoking gemini with a mcpdev flag:

$ gemini --mcpdev

TODO(https://issues.chromium.org/439574172): Allowlist this mcp.
