Gemini MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 669 installs a week from npm. Last commit 15 Sep 2026.
Generate and edit images with Google Gemini (Nano Banana / Nano Banana Pro) image models.
Today is the operative word: we check Gemini MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
GEMINI_API_KEY (Your Google Gemini API key (aistudio.google.com/apikey)), GEMINI_IMAGE_MODEL (Override the default image model (default: gemini-3.1-flash-image)), GEMINI_OUTPUT_DIR (Default directory for generated images (default: current working directory)), GEMINI_INPUT_DIR (Directory to resolve bare input-image filenames against).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
