Connect Recharge to Gemini CLI
Add Recharge to Gemini CLI and you can check your allowance or book leave from the terminal. It’s one command and a browser sign-in.

Ask something like “How many holiday days do I have left?”
Then ask
You don’t need special syntax. Gemini CLI works out which Recharge tool to use.
- “How many holiday days do I have left this year?”
- “Do I have any TOIL banked?”
- “Suggest some good dates for a long weekend.”
- “Book next Tuesday off for a hospital appointment.”
- “Is there a clash if I’m off the week of the 12th?”
- “What’s waiting on me to approve? (managers)”
Good to know
- It’s your account, nothing more. You sign in with your normal Recharge login and approve a consent screen. Gemini CLI gets your permissions, not its own access, and there’s no shared API key.
- Writes are logged. Anything that books, changes or cancels leave goes into the same audit log as the dashboard.
- Managers can’t approve their own leave, in chat or anywhere else.
- Read the full MCP security details.
Google has changed which command-line tool some accounts use, so check which one applies to yours. The browser sign-in needs a local browser, so it won’t work over plain SSH or in a headless container. These steps follow the provider’s own documentation, and their interface can change. If a button or menu has moved, their docs below have the current version.
