Sibyl
A single local MCP server wrapping Google Gemini's full generative surface — text, images, video, speech, embeddings, and deep research.
generate— text, code, chat and reasoning, with optional system instruction, model override, or forced JSON output.generate_image/edit_image— create images from prompts (Nano Banana); edit, composite, style-transfer or iteratively refine one or more input images.generate_video/video_status— fire async Veo video generation from a prompt, then poll the operation to download the mp4 (takes 1–3 min, billed per second).speak— text-to-speech with Gemini TTS, choosing a voice (Kore, Puck, Charon, Aoede…), saved as WAV.embed— embedding vectors for one text or many, written to a JSON file with path and dimensions returned.deep_research/research_get/research_followup— launch an autonomous multi-step research task (5–20 min, ~$2–5), poll it, save a cited Markdown report with configurable tone/format/citation style, and ask follow-ups without re-running.
Requires Node 18+ and a Gemini API key; wire into Claude via a simple mcpServers config.
Provides tools for text generation, image generation and editing, video generation, text-to-speech, embeddings, and deep research using Google's Gemini API.
Click on "Deploy 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., "@Sibyl Write a haiku about the moon"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.

Gemini MCP
Formerly Sibyl.
An MCP server for Google's Gemini.
One MCP across the whole generative surface: text, image, video, speech, embeddings, and deep research. Built for personal use, shared openly, not productised.
Gemini MCP is a local Model Context Protocol server wrapping Google's Gemini generative API. It folds the old nano-banana (image) and gemini-deep-research servers into one coherent Gemini surface, and adds text, video, speech and embeddings, so an assistant reaches everything Gemini generates through a single tool set.
Tools
Tool | What it does |
| Text, code, chat and reasoning with Gemini |
| Generate or edit images (Nano Banana). Edit takes one or more inputs for compositing and iterative refinement |
| Generate video with Veo. Async: fire, then poll |
| Text to speech with Gemini TTS |
| Embedding vectors for one or more texts |
| Fire an autonomous multi-step research task, poll it, and save a cited Markdown report; ask follow-ups without re-running |

Design philosophy
The visual mark and the tool itself were built deliberately against the visual language of capitalist software design. No gradients, no neon, no glass, no drop shadows, no isometric stock illustration. Single-shade flat seals in warm, considered colours, ancient-glyph silhouettes, generous whitespace. The mark could be pressed into wax or carved into stone.
This tool is built for personal use and shared openly. It is not productised, monetised, or instrumented. Use it for your own work or fork it for yours.

Available Tools
10 toolsdeep_researchA
Fire a Gemini Deep Research task asynchronously. Returns an interaction_id; poll research_get every 60s. Takes 5-20 minutes, costs roughly $2-5 per task.
Inputs: prompt (required), tone, format, sections, +2 more.
edit_imageA
Edit or combine one or more input images with a natural-language instruction (style transfer, inpainting, compositing). Pass a prior output back in to keep refining. Saves to output_path.
Inputs: prompt (required), image_paths (required), output_path (required), model.
embedA
Create embedding vectors for one or more texts with Gemini. Writes the vectors to a JSON file and returns the path and dimensions.
Inputs: text, model, texts, output_path.
generateA
Generate text with Gemini: prose, code, chat, reasoning. The core generative call.
Inputs: prompt (required), json, model, system.
generate_imageA
Generate an image from a text prompt with Gemini (Nano Banana). Saves to output_path.
Inputs: prompt (required), output_path (required), model.
generate_videoA
Generate a video from a text prompt with Veo. Async: returns an operation name, then poll video_status. Veo takes 1-3 minutes and is billed per second.
Inputs: prompt (required), model.
research_followupA
Ask a follow-up on a completed research task without re-running it. Returns the answer inline, saves nothing.
Inputs: prompt (required), previous_interaction_id (required).
research_getA
Poll a running research task. When complete, saves a cited Markdown report to output_dir and returns the path. Pass the same format/citation/tone used to start it.
Inputs: prompt (required), interaction_id (required), tone, format, +3 more.
speakC
Text to speech with Gemini TTS. Saves a WAV to output_path. (Music generation rides with the Live API in a later version.)
Inputs: text (required), output_path (required), model, voice.
video_statusB
Poll a Veo generation by its operation name. When done, downloads the mp4 to output_path.
Inputs: operation (required), output_path (required).

Scored across 10 tools
Each tool targets a distinct modality or workflow stage: text, image, video, speech, embeddings, and research. The research trio (deep_research, research_get, research_followup) forms a clear lifecycle, and generate_image vs edit_image are clearly separated by creation vs modification.
Names are descriptive but inconsistent in pattern: some are verb-first (generate_image, edit_image), some object-first (video_status, research_get), and others are single verbs (speak, embed). This mixing prevents a predictable convention, though the names remain readable.
With 10 tools, the server is well-scoped for a multimodal AI toolkit covering text, image, video, speech, embeddings, and research. The count feels balanced and not bloated.
Core generation and editing are covered across all major modalities, plus embeddings and a full research workflow. Minor gaps exist, such as the absence of image/video understanding tools and music generation, but these are not essential for the primary purpose.
