Gemini MCP Image Generation Server
The Gemini MCP Image Generation Server enables users to generate images from text prompts using Google's Gemini 2 API.
Generate Images: Create images based on textual descriptions
Customize Output: Adjust parameters like
numSamples,aspectRatio, andpersonGenerationSpecify Format: Control the output format of generated images
Integration: Configure to work with Claude Desktop for seamless usage
Experimental Features: Access cutting-edge image generation capabilities from Gemini 2
Enables configuration of the server through environment variables loaded from a .env file, specifically for storing the Google API key required for authentication.
Provides image generation capabilities using Google's Gemini 2 API, allowing users to generate images based on text prompts with customizable parameters such as number of samples and aspect ratio.
Used for package management, installation of dependencies, and running the server through npm commands.
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., "@Gemini MCP Image Generation Servergenerate a futuristic city skyline at night with flying cars, aspect ratio 16:9"
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.
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
Get Gemini API Key
Visit Google AI Studio
Create a new API key
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.jsonAdd Gemini configuration:
{ "mcpServers": { "gemini-imagen": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "github:sanxfxteam/gemini-mcp-server"], "env": { "GEMINI_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here" } } } }
Restart Claude Desktop

.envfile in the root directory and add your Google API key:
GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key_hereUsage
Run the server:
npm startTo test
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npm run startAvailable Tools
generateImage
Generates images using Gemini 2's experimental image generation API.
Parameters:
prompt(string, required): The description of the image you want to generatenumSamples(number, optional, default: 4): Number of images to generateaspectRatio(string, optional, default: '1:1'): Aspect ratio of the generated imagespersonGeneration(string, optional, default: 'ALLOW_ADULT'): Person generation settings
Example MCP request:
{
"tool": "generateImage",
"params": {
"prompt": "A serene mountain landscape at sunset",
"numSamples": 2,
"aspectRatio": "16:9"
}
}Notes
This server uses the experimental image generation feature of Gemini 2
Make sure you have appropriate access and API keys from Google
The server communicates using the Model Context Protocol over stdio

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Tool has no description.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Tool has no description.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Tool has no description.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Tool has no description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Tool has no description.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Tool has no description.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
TDQS
With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or overlap between tools. The single tool 'generateImage' stands alone with a distinct purpose.
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.
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.
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.
