Use Monk Inside Antigravity

In Antigravity, Monk and the client run in the same IDE window. The setup has two parts:
  1. Enable Monk MCP for the current workspace from Monk
  2. Open Antigravity’s MCP management UI and allow Monk there

​
Step 1: Enable Monk MCP on the Monk Side

Monk MCP is not enabled by default. If Monk is installed directly in Antigravity, you do everything in Antigravity itself. Make sure:
  • Monk is installed in Antigravity
  • the project is open in Antigravity
In Antigravity, run: 
Monk: Manage MCP Server
Then make sure:
  • you ran Monk: Manage MCP Server
  • you chose Enable MCP server
Antigravity MCP Enablement If you are choosing targets manually, include Gemini / Antigravity for this workspace. Monk writes the Google-style project MCP configuration for the current workspace. Read more: Install Monk, MCP Getting Started

​
Step 2: Open Antigravity’s MCP Management UI

In Antigravity, open the agent panel and then open MCP management. The current documented UI flow is:
  1. Open the agent panel
  2. Open the MCP server management menu
  3. Choose Manage MCP Servers
  4. If needed, choose View raw config
At that point, Monk should be visible for the current project. Read more: Antigravity MCP tutorial

​
Step 3: Allow Monk To Be Used

If Antigravity shows Monk in the MCP server list, enable it and allow its tools to be used. If Antigravity asks you to confirm or trust the server before tool execution, approve Monk for the project.

​
What to Ask First

Once Monk is visible, good first requests are:
  • use Monk to analyze this project
  • use Monk to deploy this app
  • ask Monk what services this application needs
  • use Monk to inspect runtime health and logs

​
If Monk Does Not Appear

  • confirm Monk is installed in Antigravity
  • confirm Monk MCP is enabled in Antigravity for this workspace
  • confirm Antigravity is opened on the same project
  • reopen the MCP server management UI
  • if necessary, reopen Antigravity so it reloads project MCP settings
