Setup
Connect Gemini CLI in 3 steps
- 1Make an API key in Fliok and set it as FLIOK_API_KEY in your shell.
- 2Add this to ~/.gemini/settings.json (or .gemini/settings.json in a project).
- 3Run gemini and type /mcp to see Fliok's tools.
A workspace admin creates a Fliok API key with only the scopes the app needs; the app sends it with every call.

}Good to know
- It works through Gemini CLI, not the Gemini app.
- A workspace admin creates the API key and picks its scopes; the app can do only what they allow.
- Keep the key out of shared code and chats: anyone holding it can act in Fliok within its scopes.
- No money moves through it: it cannot buy a plan, top up the wallet or change how you pay.
- Messages it sends are ordinary WhatsApp messages: free-form text only inside the 24-hour window, a template outside it, and Meta’s charges as usual.
- Everything the AI app does goes through the same permissions, plan limits, staff restrictions and audit trail as Fliok’s API.
- What the AI app reads through Fliok is handled under that app’s own terms.
Create a Fliok API key with the scopes you need, then add Fliok to Gemini CLI’s settings as an MCP server with the address https://fliok.com/api/mcp and the key. The MCP guide has the exact configuration.
No. It works through Gemini CLI, which runs in your terminal.
What its tools allow, and only what you approved or gave the key. The tools cover these areas: Chats, Messages, Templates, Contacts, Sales CRM, Broadcasts, Invoices and bookings, Instagram, WhatsApp Pay, Reports, Team, Integrations, Webhooks, Plan and wallet (read only). The MCP guide lists every tool with the permission it needs.
A workspace admin, in Fliok. Give the key only the scopes the app needs; it can never do more than the role it is made for.
Pro and Enterprise: connecting an AI app uses the same developer features as Fliok’s REST API. Free and Basic don’t include them.
No money moves through it: it cannot buy a plan, top up the wallet or change how you pay. Meta’s charges for the WhatsApp messages it sends apply as usual.
Revoke its API key in Fliok, under Settings → Integrations → AI apps or on the API keys page. Gemini CLI can’t use the key after that.
