What is This?

Gemini Media MCP is a comprehensive toolkit that brings Google's most powerful AI media generation models into any MCP-compatible AI assistant. Generate 4K videos with VEO 3.1, create stunning images with NanoBanana Pro 2, and craft professional prompts with built-in skills -- all from a single repository.

What's Included

MCP Servers

Claude Code Skills (Plugin Marketplace)

Install skills via Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add u2n4/gemini-media-mcp

Quick Start

This repo hosts two independent MCP servers. Install whichever you need — or both. Each server publishes to PyPI separately.

Option A — uvx (zero-install, recommended)

Add a block to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf) using the appropriate server block below (see VEO Server / NanoBanana Server sections).

Option B — clone + editable install

git clone https://github.com/u2n4/gemini-media-mcp.git
cd gemini-media-mcp

# Create a virtual environment (uv pip install requires one — or pass --system)
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate     # macOS / Linux
# .venv\Scripts\activate     # Windows PowerShell

# Install one or both sub-packages
uv pip install -e servers/veo
uv pip install -e servers/nanobanana

VEO Server

uvx (zero-install):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "veo": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["veo-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "GEMINI_API_KEY": "your_key",
        "VIDEO_OUTPUT_DIR": "./videos"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code:

claude mcp add veo -s user -e GEMINI_API_KEY=your_key -- uvx veo-mcp-server

pip install:

pip install veo-mcp-server

NanoBanana Server

uvx (zero-install):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nanobanana": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["nanobanana-imagen-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GEMINI_API_KEY": "your_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code:

claude mcp add nanobanana -s user -e GEMINI_API_KEY=your_key -- uvx nanobanana-imagen-mcp

pip install:

pip install nanobanana-imagen-mcp

VEO Server

AI video generation powered by Google VEO 3.1. Uses an async job pattern where generation starts in the background and returns a job ID for polling -- no timeouts.

VEO Configuration

VEO Models

NanoBanana Server

AI image generation powered by NanoBanana Pro 2. Supports Pro (maximum quality) and Flash (fast) models with default 4K resolution.

Prompting Skills

VEO Prompting Skill

7-layer prompt engineering system for VEO 3.1:

1. Cinematography (camera, shot type, lens, angles)
2. Subject (characters, objects, material cues)
3. Action (force-based verbs, timestamp beats)
4. Environment (time of day, weather, depth layers)
5. Lighting & Mood (physical light sources, color temperature)
6. Audio Design (dialogue, SFX, ambient, music)
7. Technical Controls (negative prompts, style anchors, film stocks)

NanoBanana Prompting Skill

7-layer prompt engineering system for NanoBanana Pro 2:

1. Style & Art Direction (visual DNA)
2. Scene Description (environment, atmosphere)
3. Main Subject (hero element with extreme specificity)
4. Camera & Lens (real camera specs for realism)
5. Lighting (natural, studio, color temperature)
6. Texture, Material & Color (tactile detail)
7. Negative Prompts (quality guards)
