🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18 or higher

  • Google Gemini API key

  • Claude Desktop or another MCP-compatible host

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/gemini-imagen-mcp-server.git
cd gemini-imagen-mcp-server
  1. Install dependencies:

npm install
  1. Build the TypeScript code:

npm run build

⚙️ Configuration

  1. Configure Claude Desktop by adding to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gemini-image-gen": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["./build/index.js"],
      "cwd": "<path-to-project-directory>",
      "env": {
        "GEMINI_API_KEY": "your-gemini-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}
  1. Replace placeholders:

    • <path-to-project-directory>: Your project path

    • your-gemini-api-key: Your Gemini API key

🛠️ Available Tools

1. generate_images

Generates images using Google's Imagen 3.0 model.

Parameters:

  • prompt (required): Text description of the image to generate

  • numberOfImages (optional): Number of images (1-4, default: 1)

File Management:

  • Images are automatically saved in G:\image-gen3-google-mcp-server\images

  • Filenames follow the pattern: {sanitized-prompt}-{timestamp}-{index}.png

  • Timestamps ensure unique filenames

  • Prompts are sanitized for safe filesystem usage

Example:

Generate an image of a futuristic city at night

2. create_image_html

Creates HTML preview tags for generated images.

Parameters:

  • imagePaths (required): Array of image file paths

  • width (optional): Image width in pixels (default: 512)

  • height (optional): Image height in pixels (default: 512)

Returns HTML tags with absolute file:// URLs for local viewing.

Example:

Create HTML tags for the generated images with width=400

🔧 Development

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build TypeScript

    B3.2/5.0

    Scored across 2 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    The two tools have completely distinct purposes: generate_images creates new images via AI, while create_image_html produces HTML img tags from existing file paths. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.

    Naming Consistency4/5

    Both tool names follow a verb_noun pattern (generate_images and create_image_html). The verbs 'generate' and 'create' are similar but not identical, and the nouns differ in structure (plural vs. compound), but the overall pattern is consistent and readable.

    Tool Count3/5

    With only 2 tools, the server feels somewhat thin. While the scope is narrow (image generation and HTML formatting), this is borderline on the low end; a small utility set would benefit from at least one additional tool for managing or inspecting generated images.

    Completeness3/5

    The core workflow of generating images and then creating HTML for viewing is covered, but there are notable gaps: no way to list, delete, or manage previously generated images, and no tool to adjust model parameters beyond what might be embedded in generate_images. This limits the server to a single-generation flow.
