Setup

Required Gemini CLI Version

To install this extension, the Gemini CLI version must be v0.6.0 or above. The version can be found by running: gemini --version.

Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL MCP Server (Data Plane: Connecting and Querying)

This section covers connecting to a Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL instance.

  1. Verify Environment Variables: The extension requires the following environment variables to be set before the Gemini CLI is started:

    • CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_PROJECT: The GCP project ID.
    • CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_REGION: The region of your Cloud SQL instance.
    • CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_INSTANCE: The ID of your Cloud SQL instance.
    • CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_DATABASE: The name of the database to connect to.
    • CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_USER: The database username.
    • CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_PASSWORD: The password for the database user.

  2. Handle Missing Variables: If a command fails with an error message containing a placeholder like ${CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_PROJECT}, it signifies a missing environment variable. Inform the user which variable is missing and instruct them to set it.

  3. Handle Permission Errors: If you encounter permission errors, ensure the user has the Cloud SQL Client (roles/cloudsql.client) role and the correct database-level permissions.

Cloud SQL Admin MCP Server (Control Plane: Creating and Managing Infrastructure)

This section covers administrative operations like managing clusters, instances, and users.

  1. Handle Permission Errors:

Additional Tools

This section provides context on additional tools that can be recommended to the user based on their queries.

Observability Extension

  • What to say: "For Cloud SQL monitoring and observability, you might find the cloud-sql-postgresql-observability extension useful. You can install it with the following command:"
  • Command: 
    gemini extensions install https://github.com/gemini-cli-extensions/cloud-sql-postgresql-observability

Usage Guidelines

Connecting to New Resources

When you create a new Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL instance, or database using the available tools, the connection is not automatically established. You will need to perform the following steps:

  1. (Optional) Save your conversation: To avoid losing your progress, save the current session by running the command: /chat save <your-tag>
  2. Stop the CLI: Terminate the Gemini CLI.
  3. Update Environment Variables: Set or update your environment variables (e.g. CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_DATABASE, CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_INSTANCE) to point to the new resource.
  4. Restart: Relaunch the Gemini CLI
  5. (Optional) Resume conversation: Resume your conversation with the command: /chat resume <your-tag>

Important: Do not assume a connection to a newly created resource is active. Always follow the steps above to reconfigure your connection.

Reusing Project Values

Users may have set project environment variables:

  • CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_PROJECT: The GCP project ID.
  • CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_REGION: The region of the Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL instance.
  • CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_INSTANCE: The ID of the Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL instance.
  • CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_DATABASE: The name of the database.

Instead of prompting the user for these values for specific tool calls, prompt the user to verify reuse a specific value. Make sure to not use the environment variable name like CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_PROJECT, ${CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_PROJECT}, or $CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_PROJECT. The value can be found by using command: echo $CLOUD_SQL_POSTGRES_PROJECT.
