MCP Server for NanoBanana AI Image Generation via AceDataCloud API

MCP NanoBanana

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI image generation and editing using Google's Nano Banana model through the AceDataCloud API.

Generate and edit AI images directly from Claude, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client.

Features

• Image Generation - Create high-quality images from text prompts
• Image Editing - Modify existing images or combine multiple images
• Virtual Try-On - Put clothing on people in photos
• Product Placement - Place products in realistic scenes
• Task Tracking - Monitor generation progress and retrieve results

Quick Start

1. Get Your API Token

1. Sign up at AceDataCloud Platform
2. Go to the API documentation page
3. Click "Acquire" to get your API token
4. Copy the token for use below

2. Use the Hosted Server (Recommended)

AceDataCloud hosts a managed MCP server — no local installation required.

Endpoint: https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp

All requests require a Bearer token. Use the API token from Step 1.

Claude Desktop

Add to your config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nanobanana": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor / Windsurf

Add to your MCP config (.cursor/mcp.json or .windsurf/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nanobanana": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add to your VS Code MCP config (.vscode/mcp.json):

{
  "servers": {
    "nanobanana": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or install the Ace Data Cloud MCP extension for VS Code, which bundles all 11 MCP servers with one-click setup.

JetBrains IDEs

1. Go to Settings → Tools → AI Assistant → Model Context Protocol (MCP)
2. Click Add → HTTP
3. Paste:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nanobanana": {
      "url": "https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

cURL Test

# Health check (no auth required)
curl https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/health

# MCP initialize
curl -X POST https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}'

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.

Available Tools

Image Generation

Tool	Description
nanobanana_generate_image	Generate an image from a text prompt
nanobanana_edit_image	Edit or combine images with AI

Tasks

Tool	Description

Usage Examples

Generate Image from Prompt

User: Create an image of a sunset over mountains

Claude: I'll generate that image for you.
[Calls nanobanana_generate_image with detailed prompt]

Virtual Try-On

User: Put this shirt on this model
[Provides two image URLs]

Claude: I'll combine these images.
[Calls nanobanana_edit_image with both image URLs]

Product Photography

User: Place this product in a modern kitchen scene

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.
