Overview

About this course.

This advanced course focuses on expanding Gemini CLI into enterprise infrastructure. Developers configure Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to connect the terminal agent to external SQL databases, orchestrate Google Workspace MCP endpoints (Drive, Gmail, Docs), write custom security extensions and sub-agents, and build multi-agent capstone automation pipelines.

Objectives

What you'll learn

  • Configure and deploy Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers within Gemini CLI.
  • Connect Gemini CLI to enterprise databases, cloud platforms, and internal APIs via MCP.
  • Automate cross-platform workflows connecting local terminal code to Google Workspace services.
  • Develop custom Gemini CLI extensions, sub-agents, and persistent background runners.
  • Implement enterprise governance, security sandboxing, and audit logging for AI agent tools.

Audience

Who it's for

  • Senior Engineers
  • Principal Developers
  • AI Infrastructure Architects
