Tools & capabilities
Nanobanana MCP Server tools 4
generate_imageGenerate new images or edit existing images using natural language instructions. Supports multiple input modes: 1. Pure generation: Just provide a prompt to create new images 2. Multi-image conditioning: Provide up to 3 input images using input_image_path_1/2/3 parameters 3. File ID editing: Edit previously uploaded images using Files API ID 4. File path editing: Edit local images by providing single input image path Automatically detects mode based on parameters or can be explicitly controlled. Input images are read from the local filesystem to avoid massive token usage. Returns both MCP image content blocks and structured JSON with metadata.upload_fileUpload a local file through the Gemini Files API and return its URI & metadata. Useful when the image is larger than 20MB or reused across prompts.show_output_statsShow statistics about the output directory and recently generated images.maintenancePerform maintenance operations following workflows.md patterns. Available operations: - cleanup_expired: Remove expired Files API entries from database - cleanup_local: Clean old local files based on age/LRU - check_quota: Check Files API storage usage vs. ~20GB budget - database_hygiene: Clean up database inconsistencies - full_cleanup: Run all cleanup operations in sequence
