MCP Server for NanoBanana AI Image Generation via AceDataCloud API

Project description

MCP NanoBanana

Python 3.10+ License: MIT MCP

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 API Token

Get your API token from AceDataCloud Platform:

  1. Sign up or log in
  2. Navigate to Nano Banana Images API
  3. Click "Acquire" to get your token

2. Install

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/AceDataCloud/MCPNanoBanana.git
cd MCPNanoBanana

# Install with pip
pip install -e .

# Or with uv (recommended)
uv pip install -e .

3. Configure

# Copy example environment file
cp .env.example .env

# Edit with your API token
echo "ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN=your_token_here" > .env

4. Run

# Run the server
mcp-nanobanana-pro

# Or with Python directly
python main.py

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"
      }
    }
  }
}

Remote HTTP Mode (Hosted)

AceDataCloud hosts a managed MCP server that you can connect to directly — no local installation required.

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

All requests require a Bearer token in the Authorization header. Get your token from AceDataCloud Platform.

Claude Desktop (Remote)

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

Cursor / VS Code

In your MCP client settings, add:

  • Type: streamable-http
  • URL: https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp
  • Headers: Authorization: Bearer your_api_token_here

cURL Test

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

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

Self-Hosting with Docker

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

Clients connect with their own Bearer token — the server extracts the token from each request's Authorization header and uses it for upstream API calls.

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
nanobanana_get_task Query a single task status
nanobanana_get_tasks_batch Query multiple tasks at once

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
[Provides product image URL]

Claude: I'll create a product scene for you.
[Calls nanobanana_edit_image with scene description]

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.
