Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:186-212 (handler)The main handler function `configureGeminiToken` that parses the API key using Zod, initializes the GoogleGenAI client, updates internal config state, saves the config to a file, and returns a success response.private async configureGeminiToken(request: CallToolRequest): Promise<CallToolResult> { const { apiKey } = request.params.arguments as { apiKey: string }; try { ConfigSchema.parse({ geminiApiKey: apiKey }); this.config = { geminiApiKey: apiKey }; this.genAI = new GoogleGenAI({ apiKey }); this.configSource = 'config_file'; // Manual configuration via tool await this.saveConfig(); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: "✅ Gemini API token configured successfully! You can now use nano-banana image generation features.", }, ], }; } catch (error) { if (error instanceof z.ZodError) { throw new McpError(ErrorCode.InvalidParams, `Invalid API key: ${error.errors[0]?.message}`); } throw error; } }
- src/index.ts:57-70 (schema)Tool schema definition in the listTools response, specifying name, description, and inputSchema requiring 'apiKey' string.{ name: "configure_gemini_token", description: "Configure your Gemini API token for nano-banana image generation", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { apiKey: { type: "string", description: "Your Gemini API key from Google AI Studio", }, }, required: ["apiKey"], }, },
