[![MCP](https://img.shields.io/badge/MCP-Compatible-green.svg)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io)

A [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server for AI image generation and editing using [Google's Nano Banana](https://deepmind.google/technologies/imagen/) model through the [AceDataCloud API](https://platform.acedata.cloud?utm_source=github&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=evergreen&utm_content=nanobanana_mcp_readme_platform).

Generate and edit AI images directly from Claude, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client.

## Use Nano Banana in Glama

Find the Ace-provided [Nano Banana source listing](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/AceDataCloud/NanoBananaMCP) or [remote connector](https://glama.ai/mcp/connectors/io.github.AceDataCloud/mcp-nanobanana-pro). Follow the [Glama installation, API Token and first-use guide](https://github.com/AceDataCloud/NanoBananaMCP/blob/main/readme/GLAMA.md). Public discovery and a successful personal connection are separate checks; generation uses your Ace account balance.

## Nano Banana in goose

Use the independent **Nano Banana by Ace Data Cloud** native goose plugin: [install and API Token guide](goose/README.md) · [简体中文](goose/README_zh_Hans.md). It reuses this MCP server and does not imply goose Marketplace or default-provider inclusion.

## Find the Nano Banana integration in the official MCP Registry

Open [Nano Banana in the official MCP Registry](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/?q=io.github.AceDataCloud%2Fmcp-nanobanana-pro), expand the matching `io.github.AceDataCloud` entry, and use its **Packages** or **Remotes** installation information in a client that consumes MCP catalogs. This is the Nano Banana integration provided by Ace Data Cloud; it is not an endorsement by the model vendor. The Registry is a directory, not the app that runs a tool.

Search for `mcp-nanobanana-pro` (or `io.github.AceDataCloud/mcp-nanobanana-pro`) to locate the exact entry. The official Registry search currently matches server names; spaces in a display title do not create extra search aliases. If your client does not consume the catalog, use the client-specific connection instructions below and check **Applications → General application** for your token, service permissions, balance and current price. Keep the original task ID when checking asynchronous results.


## Features

- **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. |

## Connect: hosted OAuth, API token, or local stdio

The hosted endpoint is `https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp`. Choose one route for the MCP client:

| Route | When to use it | Credential setup |
|---|---|---|
| Hosted OAuth | The client supports remote MCP OAuth | Add only the URL, then sign in to AceDataCloud and approve access. No token needs to be pasted into client configuration. |
| Hosted API token | The client cannot finish OAuth, or you need an explicit integration credential | Send an AceDataCloud API token in the `Authorization: Bearer …` header. Keep it in a local secret store or environment variable. |
| Local stdio | The client runs a local MCP process | Install `mcp-nanobanana-pro` and pass `ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN` to that process. It still calls the AceDataCloud API. |

The hosted service advertises OAuth metadata and Dynamic Client Registration (DCR). **DCR registers the client application; it is not an API key.** OAuth signs you in and the client sends the resulting Bearer token; it may reuse or create an API credential for the account. Browser sign-in still requires an AceDataCloud account. The hosted service can be metered: review [current service documentation](https://platform.acedata.cloud/documents/nano-banana-mcp?utm_source=github&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=evergreen&utm_content=nanobanana_mcp_readme_quick_start) and displayed pricing before a real operation. Do not configure both an OAuth login and a fixed `Authorization` header for the same server.

### Hosted OAuth examples

- **Claude and Claude Desktop chat:** Add a remote custom connector in `Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector`, enter `https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp`, select sign-in, and choose **Register automatically** if Claude asks how to register its OAuth client. Complete consent. Claude Desktop's local `claude_desktop_config.json` is a separate setup. [Claude connector guide](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/11175166-get-started-with-custom-connectors-using-remote-mcp).
- **Claude Code:** `claude mcp add --transport http --scope user nanobanana https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp`, then `claude mcp login nanobanana`. Check `/mcp`. [Claude Code MCP guide](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/mcp).
- **Cursor:** Add a remote server with only `https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp`. For a project, merge the entry below into `<project>/.cursor/mcp.json`; for personal use, use `~/.cursor/mcp.json`. [Cursor MCP guide](https://cursor.com/docs/mcp).
- **VS Code / Copilot:** Run **MCP: Add Server**, select HTTP, enter `https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp`, then finish the browser sign-in. New portable workspace configs use `<project>/.mcp.json`; the VS Code-specific format below uses `<project>/.vscode/mcp.json` or the user profile. Check **MCP: List Servers**. [VS Code MCP setup](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/agent-customization/mcp-servers).
- **Codex:** `codex mcp add nanobanana --url https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp`, then `codex mcp login nanobanana`. Its user settings are in `~/.codex/config.toml`. [Official Codex MCP guide](https://developers.openai.com/codex/mcp/).

Cursor project config (OAuth):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nanobanana": {"url": "https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp"}
  }
}
```

VS Code-specific workspace config (OAuth):

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "nanobanana": {"type": "http", "url": "https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp"}
  }
}
```

### Hosted API token

<!-- BEGIN TOKEN ONBOARDING -->
1. Open [Ace Data Cloud → Applications](https://platform.acedata.cloud/console/applications?utm_source=github&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=evergreen&utm_content=nanobanana_mcp_readme_api_key). Sign in, or register an account first.
2. Find **General application**. If it has not been created, choose **Initialize General Application**. A general key can use the services available to your account; a dedicated application's key is limited to its service. Check the required service/model access and [current pricing](https://platform.acedata.cloud/models?utm_source=github&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=evergreen&utm_content=nanobanana_mcp_readme_models).
3. Copy the **API Key** from the application card, or open **Keys / Manage Keys → Create** to create a separate key for this integration. Give it a recognizable name so you can revoke or rotate it independently.
4. When creating a key, review **Expiration Time**, **Set Usage Limitation**, and **Allowed APIs**. Enable only the restrictions you need, allow the operations you will call, then click **Create** and copy the token from the key list. Task lookup does not grant permission to submit a generation. Confirm the application's balance can cover your first request; any trial allowance is whatever your account currently displays.
5. Copy only the token value, without quotation marks, spaces, or `Bearer `. An API Key / API Token field expects this raw value; only a manually configured HTTP `Authorization` header needs the `Bearer ` prefix. A `platform-...` account-management token cannot replace a generation API key.

![Copy an application API key or open Manage Keys](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AceDataCloud/NanoBananaDify/2522b2f57210597af2db866445319334a1677a23/_assets/tutorial/get-api-key-en.png)

![Create a separately named key with optional restrictions](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AceDataCloud/NanoBananaDify/2522b2f57210597af2db866445319334a1677a23/_assets/tutorial/create-api-key-en.png)

Save the key in the client's credential store or the environment variable shown below. Never put it in a prompt, shared workflow, screenshot, or Git commit. If authentication fails, check the full copied value, application/service access, expiration, usage limit, and balance before creating another key.
<!-- END TOKEN ONBOARDING -->

A fixed Bearer header bypasses OAuth. If the header is invalid, remove it before trying browser sign-in; keep the saved credential private.

For Claude Code, the shell expands the token when you add the server; treat the saved user MCP config as a secret:

```bash
export ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN='YOUR_API_TOKEN'
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user nanobanana https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN"
```

For a Claude Code project config, put a variable reference in `<project>/.mcp.json` and set that variable in the environment that launches Claude Code:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nanobanana": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer ${ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN}"}
    }
  }
}
```

Cursor uses a different environment-variable syntax in `~/.cursor/mcp.json` or an uncommitted project config:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nanobanana": {
      "url": "https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer ${env:ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN}"}
    }
  }
}
```

In VS Code, run **MCP: Open User Configuration** and merge this server plus its masked input; `${input:...}` is for VS Code's user/workspace format and is not portable to the Agent Host `.mcp.json` format:

```json
{
  "inputs": [
    {"id": "acedata-nanobanana-token", "type": "promptString", "description": "AceDataCloud API token", "password": true}
  ],
  "servers": {
    "nanobanana": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer ${input:acedata-nanobanana-token}"}
    }
  }
}
```

For **Cline**, use its MCP configuration UI or CLI file `~/.cline/data/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json`; its remote transport value is `streamableHttp`. For **JetBrains AI Assistant**, add a remote URL from **Settings → Tools → AI Assistant → Model Context Protocol (MCP)**. For **Zed**, use a `context_servers` entry with the URL only for OAuth or add a local Bearer header. These clients have different configuration schemas; follow their current UI rather than copying another client's JSON. [Cline](https://docs.cline.bot/mcp/mcp-overview) · [JetBrains](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/ai-assistant/mcp.html) · [Zed](https://zed.dev/docs/ai/mcp).

### Local stdio

Install the package and give the local process an API token:

```bash
python -m pip install mcp-nanobanana-pro
export ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN='YOUR_API_TOKEN'
mcp-nanobanana-pro
```

For Claude Desktop local MCP, merge this entry into the file opened by its developer settings (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` on macOS). `uvx` requires [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) on `PATH`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nanobanana": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-nanobanana-pro"],
      "env": {"ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN": "YOUR_API_TOKEN"}
    }
  }
}
```

Keep this user-level file private. Self-hosted HTTP uses `mcp-nanobanana-pro --transport http --port 8000`; expose it only with suitable network and TLS controls. Local execution still calls the AceDataCloud API.

### Check before using the service

1. `https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/health` returning `{"status":"ok"}` checks endpoint reachability only.
2. Confirm that the MCP client loads tools. The tool list shows MCP discovery, not downstream API access or balance.
3. If you need a full API check, call `nanobanana_generate_image` with your own valid input after reviewing [current service documentation](https://platform.acedata.cloud/documents/nano-banana-mcp?utm_source=github&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=evergreen&utm_content=nanobanana_mcp_readme_quick_start) and displayed pricing. If the result contains a task ID, call `nanobanana_get_task` on that same ID until terminal success or failure. Do not resubmit the operation just to check progress.

For **401**, check which auth route the client used and whether the token or OAuth session is valid. A **403** may mean an account permission or content moderation failure; read the returned error. Insufficient balance and downstream service failures need their own diagnosis. A listed tool or submitted task does not prove a successful result.

## Available Tools

### Image Generation

| Tool                        | Description                          |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `nanobanana_generate_image` | Generate an image from a text prompt |
| `nanobanana_edit_image`     | Edit or combine images with AI       |

### Tasks

| Tool                         | Description                  |
| ---------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| `nanobanana_get_task`        | Query a single task status   |
| `nanobanana_get_tasks_batch` | Query multiple tasks at once |

## Supported Models

| Model | Resolution |
|---|---|
| `nano-banana` (default) | 1K |
| `nano-banana-2-lite` | 1K |
| `nano-banana-2` | 1K, 2K, 4K |
| `nano-banana-2.1` | 1K, 2K, 4K |
| `nano-banana-pro` | 1K, 2K, 4K |

All five models support generation and editing. The existing `nano-banana`, `nano-banana-2-lite`, `nano-banana-2`, and `nano-banana-pro` models also have `:official` variants. **Nano Banana 2.1 has no `:official` variant**; use exactly `nano-banana-2.1`. Omitting `model` still selects `nano-banana`.

## Usage Examples

### Nano Banana 2.1 Generation and Editing

Pass these arguments to `nanobanana_generate_image`:

```json
{
  "prompt": "A blue ceramic vase on a cream background, soft side lighting, no text",
  "model": "nano-banana-2.1",
  "aspect_ratio": "1:1",
  "resolution": "2K",
  "count": 2
}
```

For `nanobanana_edit_image`, supply your reference image URL:

```json
{
  "prompt": "Change the vase to green while preserving the background and lighting",
  "image_urls": ["https://example.com/vase.png"],
  "model": "nano-banana-2.1",
  "resolution": "4K"
}
```

Generation and editing submit asynchronously. Keep the returned `task_id` and query `nanobanana_get_task` until terminal success or failure; submission alone is not a completed image. Editing without `aspect_ratio` preserves the first reference image's aspect ratio; `resolution` defaults to `1K` if omitted. Review the final image and pixel dimensions before using it.

### Generate Image from Prompt

```
User: Create an image of a sunset over mountains

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]
```

### Product Photography

```
User: Place this product in a modern kitchen scene
[Provides product image URL]

Claude: I'll create a product scene for you.
[Calls nanobanana_edit_image with scene description]
```

## 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.
```
