Ultimate Gemini MCP

MCP server for Google's Gemini 3.1 Flash Image — fast image generation with advanced reasoning, 512px–4K resolution, up to 14 reference images, Google Search grounding, and automatic thinking mode.

All generated images include invisible SynthID watermarks for authenticity and provenance tracking.

Features

Gemini 3.1 Flash Image

• High-Resolution Output: 512px, 1K, 2K, and 4K resolution
• Advanced Text Rendering: Legible, stylized text in infographics, menus, diagrams, and logos
• Up to 14 Reference Images: Up to 10 objects + 4 characters for style/character consistency
• Google Search Grounding: Real-time data (weather, stocks, events, maps)
• Google Image Search: Visual context from web images — the model can FIND real images of anything
• Thinking Mode: Configurable reasoning - "minimal" (fast) or "high" (best quality)

This model is different. Unlike traditional image generators that rely solely on training data, Gemini 3.1 Flash has live access to Google Search and Image Search. It can find actual references for products, people, events, or anything that exists online. "Way of Wade 12" → generates the REAL shoe. "Tony Hawk" → finds real photos. Don't over-prompt — let the model cook.

Server Features

• Batch Processing: Generate multiple images in parallel (up to 8 concurrent)
• 22 Expert Prompt Templates: MCP slash commands for photography, logos, cinematics, storyboards, and more
• Flexible Aspect Ratios: 14 options — 1:1, 1:4, 1:8, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:1, 4:3, 4:5, 5:4, 8:1, 9:16, 16:9, 21:9
• Configurable via Environment Variables: Output directory, default size, timeouts, and more

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11+
• Google Gemini API key (free tier available)

Installation

Using uvx (recommended — no install needed):

uvx ultimate-gemini-mcp@latest

Note: Use @latest to ensure uv always fetches the newest version from PyPI. Without it, uv may use a cached environment.

Using pip:

pip install ultimate-gemini-mcp

From source:

git clone https://github.com/anand-92/ultimate-image-gen-mcp
cd ultimate-image-gen-mcp
uv sync

Setup

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ultimate-gemini": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["ultimate-gemini-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "GEMINI_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Config file locations:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

macOS spawn uvx ENOENT error: Use the full path — find it with which uvx, then set "command": "/Users/you/.local/bin/uvx".

Claude Code

claude mcp add ultimate-gemini \
  --env GEMINI_API_KEY=your-api-key \
  -- uvx ultimate-gemini-mcp@latest

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ultimate-gemini": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["ultimate-gemini-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "GEMINI_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Images are saved to ~/gemini_images by default. Add "OUTPUT_DIR": "/your/path" to customize.

Tools

generate_image

Generate an image with Gemini 3.1 Flash Image.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
prompt	string	required	Text description. Less is more — "Tony Hawk kickflip" beats a long description. The model with search can find references automatically.
aspect_ratio	string	1:1	One of: 1:1 1:4 1:8 2:3 3:2 3:4 4:1 4:3 4:5 5:4 8:1 9:16 16:9 21:9
image_size	string	2K	512px, 1K, 2K, or 4K
output_format	string	png	png, jpeg, or webp
reference_image_paths	list	[]	Up to 14 local image paths (10 objects + 4 characters)
enable_google_search	bool	false	USE THIS for products, people, events — anything that exists now. The model searches Google for real info.
enable_image_search	bool	false	USE THIS for visual references. The model finds actual images to work from. This is huge — it can reference real photos of anyone/anything.
thinking_level	string	minimal	minimal (fast) or high (best quality)
response_modalities	list	["TEXT","IMAGE"]	["TEXT","IMAGE"], ["IMAGE"], or ["TEXT"]

Image size guide:

• 512px — fastest, lowest cost (0.5K)
• 1K — fast, good for testing (~1-2 MB)
• 2K — recommended for most use cases (~3-5 MB)
• 4K — maximum quality for production assets (~8-15 MB)

batch_generate

Generate multiple images in parallel.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
prompts	list	required	List of prompt strings (max 8)
aspect_ratio	string	1:1	Aspect ratio applied to all images
image_size	string	2K	Resolution for all images
output_format	string	png	Format for all images
response_modalities	list	["TEXT","IMAGE"]	Modalities for all images
batch_size	int	8	Max concurrent requests
enable_image_search	bool	false	Use Google Image Search for visual context
thinking_level	string	minimal	minimal or high

Troubleshooting

spawn uvx ENOENT — Claude Desktop can't find uvx. Use the full path:

"command": "/Users/yourusername/.local/bin/uvx"

Find it with: which uvx
