  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \

3. Or Run Locally (Alternative)

If you prefer to run the server on your own machine:

# Install from PyPI
pip install mcp-nanobanana-pro
# or
uvx mcp-nanobanana-pro

# Set your API token
export ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN="your_token_here"

# Run (stdio mode for Claude Desktop / local clients)
mcp-nanobanana-pro

# Run (HTTP mode for remote access)
mcp-nanobanana-pro --transport http --port 8000

Claude Desktop (Local)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nanobanana": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-nanobanana-pro"],
      "env": {
        "ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Docker (Self-Hosting)

docker pull ghcr.io/acedatacloud/mcp-nanobanana-pro:latest
docker run -p 8000:8000 ghcr.io/acedatacloud/mcp-nanobanana-pro:latest

Clients connect with their own Bearer token — the server extracts the token from each request's Authorization header.

Prompt Writing Tips

For best results, include these elements in your prompts:

  • Main Subject: What is the primary focus?
  • Atmosphere: What mood should the image convey?
  • Lighting: How is the scene illuminated?
  • Camera/Lens: What photographic style? (85mm portrait, wide-angle, etc.)
  • Quality Keywords: Technical descriptors (bokeh, film grain, HDR, etc.)

Example Prompt

A photorealistic close-up portrait of an elderly Japanese ceramicist
with deep wrinkles and a warm smile. Soft golden hour light streaming
through a window. Captured with an 85mm portrait lens, soft bokeh
background. Serene and masterful mood.
