Nano Banana MCP Server (CLIProxyAPI Edition)

CLIPROXYAPI.md2.15 kB
# CLIProxyAPI Backend Guide This fork adds **CLIProxyAPI** support so the MCP server can call Gemini-compatible endpoints through a local proxy (no Google SDK required). ## When to Use CLIProxyAPI - You run CLIProxyAPI locally and want to route Gemini requests through it. - You prefer to manage keys in CLIProxyAPI rather than setting `GEMINI_API_KEY`. ## Requirements - CLIProxyAPI running and reachable (e.g. `http://127.0.0.1:8318`). - An API key configured in CLIProxyAPI. ## Environment Variables Required: - `CLIPROXY_BASE_URL` - Base URL of CLIProxyAPI (for example: `http://127.0.0.1:8318`). Optional (one of these is recommended): - `CLIPROXY_API_KEY` - API key used in the `Authorization: Bearer` header. - `CLIPROXY_CONFIG` - Path to CLIProxyAPI `config.yaml`; the server will read the first key from `api-keys`. Other useful settings: - `NANOBANANA_MODEL=auto|flash|pro` - `IMAGE_OUTPUT_DIR=/path/to/output` - `NO_PROXY=127.0.0.1,localhost` (recommended when CLIProxyAPI is local) ## Example: Claude Desktop ```json { "mcpServers": { "nanobanana": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["nanobanana-mcp-server@latest"], "env": { "CLIPROXY_BASE_URL": "http://127.0.0.1:8318", "CLIPROXY_API_KEY": "sk-your-cli-proxy-key", "NANOBANANA_MODEL": "pro", "NO_PROXY": "127.0.0.1,localhost" } } } } ``` ## Example: Local Source Run ```bash export CLIPROXY_BASE_URL="http://127.0.0.1:8318" export CLIPROXY_API_KEY="sk-your-cli-proxy-key" export NANOBANANA_MODEL="pro" export NO_PROXY="127.0.0.1,localhost" uv run python -m nanobanana_mcp_server.server ``` ## Behavior Differences (CLIProxyAPI Mode) - Uses CLIProxyAPI's Gemini-compatible `v1beta/models/{model}:generateContent`. - `upload_file` and Gemini Files API features are **disabled** in this mode. - Local image editing via `input_image_path_*` still works (images are inlined). ## Troubleshooting - **401 Unauthorized**: CLIProxy API key missing/invalid. - **404 / Connection Errors**: CLIProxyAPI not running or wrong base URL. - **Proxy Loop**: Add `NO_PROXY=127.0.0.1,localhost` when CLIProxyAPI is local.
