Claude Desktop Integration

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nanobanana": {
      "command": "mcp-nanobanana-pro",
      "env": {
        "ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or if using uv:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nanobanana": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/MCPNanoBanana", "mcp-nanobanana-pro"],
      "env": {
        "ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

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.
