Gemini Image Overview

The gemini-image MCP server exposes Google Gemini image generation and local image-processing tools over stdio. It saves generated results to disk instead of returning image data through the agent context, and can maintain multi-turn editing sessions. Use it when an MCP client needs text-to-image generation, reference-image editing, transparent assets, or free local transformations; a GEMINI_API_KEY is required for Gemini operations.
