Deploy a Gemini CLI app to production

Gemini CLI is Google's open-source terminal agent — it edits files, runs commands, and supports MCP servers. Like every coding agent, it stops at working code. Launchmatic is the deploy step: one command (or one MCP tool call) from the repo Gemini wrote to a public URL with SSL and Postgres.

Why Launchmatic for Gemini CLI

Gemini CLI's free tier makes it a favorite for weekend projects — exactly the projects that stall at 'how do I host this?'. Launchmatic's free tier matches: no credit card, Nixpacks auto-detects whatever stack Gemini chose, and the MCP server closes the loop so the agent can ship its own work.

Deploy in 5 steps

1
Run Gemini CLI in your project: gemini.
2
When it's done, push to GitHub: git init && git add . && git commit -m "init" && gh repo create --private --push.
3
Install the Launchmatic CLI: npm i -g @launchmatic/cli.
4
Authenticate: lm login.
5
Bind the repo: lm init (single service) or lm monorepo init (workspace).
6
Deploy: lm deploy — or register the MCP server (see snippet) and ask Gemini to deploy for you.

Add Launchmatic to `~/.gemini/settings.json` so Gemini CLI can deploy via MCP:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "launchmatic": {
      "httpUrl": "https://launchmatic.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

FAQ

Does Gemini CLI work with Launchmatic's MCP server?+

Yes — Gemini CLI supports remote MCP servers over streamable HTTP. Add https://launchmatic.io/mcp to mcpServers in ~/.gemini/settings.json and Gemini can deploy, read logs, and manage env vars as tool calls.
