Image Generator MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for AI image generation using Google Gemini. Supports OpenRouter (default) and direct Gemini API. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible tool.

Quick Install — Paste This Prompt Into Claude Code

Copy the prompt below, replace the two placeholders, and paste it into Claude Code (or any vibe coding tool). It will install the MCP, update your project config, and set up image generation rules automatically.

Before you paste: Get your OpenRouter API key at openrouter.ai/keys

Replace before pasting: | Placeholder | Replace with | Example | |---|---|---| | [YourOpenRouterAPIKey] | Your OpenRouter API key | sk-or-v1-abc123... | | [YourModelName] | Full model ID from your provider | OpenRouter: google/gemini-2.5-flash-image, Gemini: gemini-2.5-flash-image |

Providers

| Provider | Default | API Key Env Var | Notes | |---|---|---|---| | OpenRouter | Yes | OPENROUTER_API_KEY | Access to 300+ models, OpenAI-compatible API | | Gemini | Fallback | GEMINI_API_KEY | Direct Google Gemini API |

Provider is auto-detected from available env vars (OpenRouter preferred). You can override per-request with the provider parameter.

Models

| Name | Model (OpenRouter) | Model (Gemini) | Best For | |---|---|---|---| | Nano Banana (flash) | google/gemini-2.5-flash-image | gemini-2.5-flash-image | Fast, high-volume generation | | Nano Banana Pro | google/gemini-3-pro-image-preview | gemini-3-pro-image-preview | High quality output |

Browse all image models: OpenRouter Image Models — any model ID from this page works with the model parameter.
