Gemini Gen MCP
MCP Server for Gemini Image and Text to Speech (TTS) Audio generation
Using in llms .py
Paste server configuration into llms .py MCP Servers:
Name: gemini-gen
{
"description": "Gemini Image and Audio TTS generation",
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"gemini-gen-mcp"
],
"env": {
"GEMINI_API_KEY": "$GEMINI_API_KEY"
}
}You can either edit the mcp.json file directly to add your own servers or use the UI to Add, Edit, or Delete servers or use the Copy button to copy an individual server's configuration.
Using with Claude Desktop
Add this to your or claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"gemini-gen": {
"description": "Gemini Image and Audio TTS generation",
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"gemini-gen-mcp"
],
"env": {
"GEMINI_API_KEY": "$GEMINI_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}Development Server
For development, you can run this server using uv:
{
"mcpServers": {
{
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"run",
"--directory",
"/path/to/ServiceStack/gemini-gen-mcp",
"gemini-gen-mcp"
],
"env": {
"GEMINI_API_KEY": "$GEMINI_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}Features
This MCP server provides tools to:
- Generate images from text using Gemini's Flash Image model
- Generate audio from text using Gemini 2.5 Flash Preview TTS model
Results
Upon execution, the tool's output is displayed in a results dialog with specific rendering based on the output type:
When included, the same tools can be also be invoked indirectly by LLMs during chat sessions:
Prerequisites
You need a Google Gemini API key to use this server. Get one from Google AI Studio.
Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
GEMINI_API_KEY | Yes | - | Your Google Gemini API key |
GEMINI_DOWNLOAD_PATH | No | /tmp/gemini_gen_mcp | Directory where generated files are saved |
Set the environment variables:
export GEMINI_API_KEY='your-api-key-here'
export GEMINI_DOWNLOAD_PATH='/path/to/downloads' # optionalGenerated files are organized by type and date:
- Images:
$GEMINI_DOWNLOAD_PATH/images/YYYY-MM-DD/ - Audio:
$GEMINI_DOWNLOAD_PATH/audios/YYYY-MM-DD/
Each generated file includes a companion .info.json file with generation metadata.
Usage
Running the Server
Run the MCP server directly:
gemini-gen-mcpOr as a Python module:
python -m gemini_gen_mcp.serverAvailable Tools
text_to_image
Generate images from text using Gemini's Flash (Nano Banana) Image models.
@mcp.tool()
async def text_to_image(
prompt: Annotated[str, "Text description of the image to generate"],
model: ImageModels = ImageModels.NANO_BANANA,
aspect_ratio: AspectRatio = AspectRatio.SQUARE,
temperature: Annotated[
float, "Sampling temperature for image generation (default: 1.0)"
] = 1.0,
top_p: Annotated[
Optional[float], "Nucleus sampling parameter for image generation (optional)"
] = None,
) -> ImageParameters:
prompt(string, required): Text description of the image to generatemodel(string, optional): Gemini model to usegemini-2.5-flash-image(default)gemini-3-pro-image-preview
aspect_ratio(string, optional): Aspect ratio for the generated image (default: "1:1")- Supported:
1:1,2:3,3:2,3:4,4:3,4:5,5:4,9:16,16:9,21:9
- Supported:
temperature(float, optional): Sampling temperature for image generation (default: 1.0)top_p(float, optional): Nucleus sampling parameter (optional)
Example:
{
"prompt": "A serene mountain landscape at sunset with a lake",
"model": "gemini-2.5-flash-image",
"aspect_ratio": "16:9",
"temperature": 1.0
}text_to_audio
Generate speech audio from text using Gemini Flash TTS model. Output is saved as WAV format.
@mcp.tool()
async def text_to_speech(
text: Annotated[str, "Text to convert to speech"],
model: AudioModels = AudioModels.GEMINI_2_5_FLASH_PREVIEW_TTS,
voice: VoiceName = VoiceName.KORE,
) -> AudioParameters:
text(string, required): Text to convert to speechmodel(string, optional): Gemini TTS model to usegemini-2.5-flash-preview-tts(default)gemini-2.5-pro-preview-tts
voice(string, optional): Voice to use for speech generation (default: "Kore")
