Connect Qlik MCP in Gemini CLI

nico19505 — Thu, 28 May 2026 10:32:58 GMT

Has anyone already connected the Qlik MCP to Gemini CLI?

I’m trying to retrieve Qlik information within my Gemini setup.

I created a user with the appropriate permissions, as described in the Qlik Help documentation, to connect Gemini to Qlik using OAuth.

I then generated a token using the client ID and client secret of the user, and added it to the Gemini configuration like this:

{ "mcpServers": { "qlik-cloud": { "httpUrl": "https://<MY_TENANT_QLIK>.qlikcloud.com/api/ai/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <MY_TOKEN_OAUTH>" } } } }

However, when I run /mcp list, Gemini indicates that Qlik Sense is disconnected.

Has anyone experienced this issue before or managed to get it working?

Most likely issue is auth/token or MCP handshake, not your JSON.

Quick checks:

Make sure the OAuth token has correct scopes + audience for /api/ai/mcp

Test endpoint directly:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>" https://<TENANT>.qlikcloud.com/api/ai/mcp
If this returns 401/403 → Qlik config/token issue
If it works → Gemini CLI config issue (header/format)
Try removing headers in MCP config to isolate auth behavior
Also ensure token is not expired (very common) ezcardinfo com

If /mcp list shows “disconnected”, it usually means handshake failed, not just missing data.

Hi @nico19505 ,

I don't think Qlik MCP Supports Bearer Authentication and I don't think Gemini Supports Qlik MCP Server.

I don't know on the Google side,

But here is my config that works with LM Studio:

{ "mcpServers": { "Remote_Qlik_MCP": { "url": "https://abc.ap.qlikcloud.com/api/ai/mcp", "auth": { "CLIENT_ID": "myid", "CLIENT_SECRET": "my_secret" } } } }

In the OAUTH config, I have:

Client type: web
Redirect URLS: http://127.0.0.1:33389/mcp-oauth-callback

and the rest is as recommended in the docs.

Hi @nico19505 ,

I suggest you to use API Key to authenticate Gemini CLI vs Qlik MCP.

Best Regards

@marksouzacosta

The web based version of Gemini does not support MCP servers.
However, the CLI version does.

@Daniele_Purrone, I was referring to the oAuth authentication. Qlik MCP only works oAuth authentication and Gemini CLI does not - at least as far as I have tested.
