Gemini Imagen 3.0 MCP Server

Local setup required. This server has to be cloned and prepared on your machine before you register it in Claude Code.
1

Set the server up locally

Run this once to clone and prepare the server before adding it to Claude Code.

Run in terminal
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/gemini-imagen-mcp-server.git
cd gemini-imagen-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build
2

Register it in Claude Code

After the local setup is done, run this command to point Claude Code at the built server.

Run in terminal
claude mcp add -e "GEMINI_API_KEY=${GEMINI_API_KEY}" gemini-imagen-3 -- node "<FULL_PATH_TO_IMAGEN_3_0_GENERATE_GOOGLE_MCP_SERVER>/dist/index.js"

Replace <FULL_PATH_TO_IMAGEN_3_0_GENERATE_GOOGLE_MCP_SERVER>/dist/index.js with the actual folder you prepared in step 1.

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/gemini-imagen-mcp-server.git
cd gemini-imagen-mcp-server
  1. Install dependencies:
npm install
  1. Build the TypeScript code:
npm run build

⚙️ Configuration

  1. Configure Claude Desktop by adding to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gemini-image-gen": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["./build/index.js"],
      "cwd": "",
      "env": {
        "GEMINI_API_KEY": "your-gemini-api-key"
      }
    }

🛠️ Available Tools

1. generate_images

Generates images using Google's Imagen 3.0 model.

Parameters:

  • prompt (required): Text description of the image to generate
  • numberOfImages (optional): Number of images (1-4, default: 1)

File Management:

  • Images are automatically saved in G:\image-gen3-google-mcp-server\images
