Gemini Image Generation MCP Server

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides image generation capabilities using Google's Gemini 2 API.

Quick Start

  1. Get Gemini API Key

  2. Configure Claude Desktop

    • Locate your config file:

      Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
      Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
      Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
    • Add Gemini configuration:

      {
        "mcpServers": {
          "gemini-imagen": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": ["-y", "github:sanxfxteam/gemini-mcp-server"],
            "env": {
              "GEMINI_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
            }
          }

    D1.7/5.0

    Scored across 1 tool

    Disambiguation5/5

    With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or overlap between tools. The single tool 'generateImage' stands alone with a distinct purpose.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    A single tool inherently has perfect naming consistency, as there are no other tools to compare it against. The name 'generateImage' follows a clear verb_noun pattern.

    Tool Count2/5

    One tool is too few for a server named 'Gemini MCP Image Generation Server', which suggests a broader scope for image generation tasks. A single tool feels thin and incomplete for this domain.

    Completeness1/5

    The server is severely incomplete for image generation. It lacks essential operations like listing generated images, editing or modifying images, deleting images, or handling different image formats or styles, leaving significant gaps in functionality.
