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.

Quick Start

1. Get Your API Token

Sign up at AceDataCloud Platform
Go to the API documentation page
Click "Acquire" to get your API token
Copy the token for use below

2. Use the Hosted Server (Recommended)

AceDataCloud hosts a managed MCP server — no local installation required.

Endpoint: https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp

All requests require a Bearer token. Use the API token from Step 1.

Claude.ai

Connect directly on Claude.ai with OAuth — no API token needed:

Go to Claude.ai Settings → Integrations → Add More
Enter the server URL: https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp
Complete the OAuth login flow
Start using the tools in your conversation

Claude Desktop

3. Or Run Locally (Alternative)

If you prefer to run the server on your own machine:

server.ts

# Install from PyPI
pip install mcp-nanobanana-pro
# or
uvx mcp-nanobanana-pro

# Set your API token
export ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN="your_token_here"

# Run (stdio mode for Claude Desktop / local clients)
mcp-nanobanana-pro

# Run (HTTP mode for remote access)
mcp-nanobanana-pro --transport http --port 8000

Claude Desktop (Local)

config.json

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

Docker (Self-Hosting)

Terminal

docker pull ghcr.io/acedatacloud/mcp-nanobanana-pro:latest
docker run -p 8000:8000 ghcr.io/acedatacloud/mcp-nanobanana-pro:latest

Clients connect with their own Bearer token — the server extracts the token from each request's Authorization header.

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

Code

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.
