Summary of Changes
Hello @jamubc, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request introduces a significant refactor and cleanup of the gemini-mcp-tool, aiming to improve its maintainability and prepare it for faster future updates. It enhances the core functionality by adding a new brainstorming tool, implementing robust caching for large Gemini responses, and addressing potential timeout issues with progress notifications. The documentation has also been thoroughly updated for clarity and usability, alongside a notable change in the project's licensing to restrict commercial use.
Highlights
- Core Refactoring: The internal architecture of the
gemini-mcp-toolhas been substantially refactored for better separation of concerns, improving maintainability and extensibility. This includes a new unified tool registry and execution pipeline. - New Brainstorm Tool: A
brainstormtool has been added, designed to aid Gemini-supported development by generating ideas using various methodologies and context engineering. - Enhanced Response Pipeline & Caching: The
ask-geminiresponse pipeline is improved with new caching capabilities to handle and chunk large Gemini responses, preventing timeouts and enabling continuation for multi-part outputs. - Improved Timeout Handling: Progress notifications are now streamed from tool start to completion, effectively debugging and potentially solving MCP tool timeout issues, especially during long-running operations.
- Comprehensive Documentation Overhaul: The project's documentation has undergone a major update, including a reorganized
README.md, enhanced VitePress configuration with Mermaid.js support, and new interactive components for troubleshooting and client setup. - License Change: The project's license has been updated to restrict commercial usage, clarifying that it is now for non-commercial use only, while personal usage remains unaffected.

Code Review
An impressive and substantial update! This pull request introduces a major refactoring that significantly improves the project's structure, maintainability, and documentation. The new unified tool registry is an excellent abstraction that will make adding new tools much easier. The implementation of progress notifications to prevent timeouts is a crucial feature enhancement that directly addresses a core issue.
My review focuses on a few areas for improvement:
- Code Cleanup: Removing leftover development artifacts like
console.logstatements and dead code. - Robustness: Hardening some parts of the implementation, such as the ad banner configuration and the state management for progress updates.
- Project Structure: Ensuring files are located in the correct directories for better organization.
Overall, this is a fantastic contribution that moves the project forward significantly. The changes are well-thought-out and executed. I'm looking forward to seeing this merged after addressing the minor points below.

Comments suppressed due to low confidence (3)
src/utils/logger.ts:10
- The log() method uses console.warn instead of console.log, which is inconsistent with the method name and may confuse debugging
console.warn(this.formatMessage(message), ...args); src/utils/logger.ts:22
- The debug() method uses console.warn instead of console.debug or console.log, which is inconsistent with debugging conventions
console.warn(this.formatMessage(message), ...args); src/tools/simple-tools.ts:25
- [nitpick] The tool name 'Help' uses inconsistent capitalization compared to other tool names which use lowercase (e.g., 'ping')
