This one needs environment variables set before it will start: GEMINI_API_KEY (Google Gemini API key used for image generation requests.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

MCP Nano Banana — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Nano Banana?

MCP Nano Banana runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package mcp-nano-banana was installed 61 times last week.

How do I connect MCP Nano Banana?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls mcp-nano-banana straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use MCP Nano Banana?

The npm package mcp-nano-banana was installed 61 times in the last week. Week over week that is +2%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is MCP Nano Banana open source?

We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
