  • 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

Tool Reference

Tool Description
nanobanana_generate_image Generate an AI image from a text prompt using Google's Nano Banana model.
nanobanana_edit_image Edit or combine images using AI based on a text prompt.
nanobanana_get_task Query the status and result of an image generation or edit task.
nanobanana_get_tasks_batch Query multiple image generation/edit tasks at once.

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.ai

Connect directly on Claude.ai with OAuth — no API token needed:

  1. Go to Claude.ai Settings → Integrations → Add More
  2. Enter the server URL: https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp
  3. Complete the OAuth login flow
  4. Start using the tools in your conversation

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" \

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

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]

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.
