Gemini CLI extensions have been introduced to enable developers to customize their command line environment by integrating various tools directly into their workflows. This open-source, AI-powered framework allows for easy installation of extensions from Google and industry partners, enhancing productivity without the need for complex setups. The extensions come with built-in playbooks for immediate functionality and personalization.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) addresses the challenges developers face when integrating AI with external tools by providing a standardized way for large language models to interact securely with APIs. Docker's new MCP Catalog and Toolkit streamline this process, offering a centralized repository of verified MCP servers that enhance developer experience and security. With powerful search capabilities and one-click setup, Docker facilitates easier access to AI developer tools tailored for various use cases.
