How to Connect Nina to Gemini — via MCP

Connect NINA Emergency Warnings to Gemini

NINA is Germany's official emergency warning system by the BBK (Bundesamt für Bevölkerungsschutz). With AnythingMCP, you can connect NINA data to Gemini and query emergency alerts using natural language.

What You Can Do

• "Are there any active emergency warnings in Germany?"
• "Show warnings for my region (AGS code 08311)"
• "What are the details and instructions for warning XYZ?"
• "Any flood or storm warnings in Bavaria?"

Setup

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d

1. Open http://localhost:3000/connectors/store and import the NINA Emergency Warnings adapter
2. No API key required — the NINA API is publicly accessible
3. Assign the connector to an MCP server

Connect Gemini

Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide shows YOUR_SERVER_ID.

Gemini CLI reads MCP servers from ~/.gemini/settings.json (on Windows %USERPROFILE%\.gemini\settings.json). Add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anythingmcp": {
      "httpUrl": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID",
      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

1. Create an MCP API key in AnythingMCP under MCP Servers → your server → API keys, and paste it in place of YOUR_MCP_API_KEY.
2. Save the file and restart gemini.
3. Run /mcp inside Gemini CLI (or gemini mcp list in your shell) — anythingmcp should show as connected.
4. Start prompting — Gemini CLI can now call the NINA Emergency Warnings tools.

Self-hosting with the quickstart above? Use your server's local endpoint http://localhost:4000/mcp/<server-id> as the URL.

FAQ

Where does Gemini CLI look for MCP servers? In ~/.gemini/settings.json for your user, or in .gemini/settings.json inside a project. gemini mcp list shows each server and whether it connects.
