NanoBananaMCP
The MCP NanoBanana server provides AI-powered image generation and editing through Google's Nano Banana model via the AceDataCloud API, accessible from MCP-compatible clients like Claude Desktop or VS Code.
Image Generation: Create high-quality photorealistic or artistic images from detailed text prompts that include subject, atmosphere, lighting, camera/lens specifications, and quality keywords.
Image Editing & Manipulation: Edit existing images, combine multiple images, perform virtual try-on (placing clothing on people), product placement in scenes, attribute replacement (materials, colors, styles), image restoration, 2D to 3D conversion for product mockups, and rapid poster editing.
Task Management: Query individual or batch task status, retrieve results with image URLs and metadata, and optionally use webhook callbacks for asynchronous result delivery without polling.
Input Flexibility: Work with images via HTTP/HTTPS URLs or base64-encoded data, supporting multiple source images for complex editing operations.
Integration: Configurable API endpoints, timeouts, and logging for seamless integration with MCP-enabled applications.
Provides tools for AI image generation and editing using Google's Nano Banana model, supporting text-to-image creation, virtual try-on, and product placement within realistic scenes.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@NanoBananaMCPgenerate a photorealistic neon-lit ramen shop in Tokyo at night"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
