README

Gemini MCP

Gemini MCP - Google Gemini image generation, video and search grounding inside Claude

npm version MCP Registry Known Vulnerabilities License: Apache 2.0

I've been running this Gemini MCP server in my Claude Desktop setup for months. It's one of the few I leave on permanently — not because Gemini replaces Claude, but because grounded search, image generation, SVG diagrams, and video are things Gemini does well. Having them as tools inside Claude beats switching browser tabs.

Thirteen tools, covering the models people actually come looking for: Nano Banana Pro (gemini-3-pro-image-preview) for image generation, Veo 3.1 for video with synchronised audio, and Gemini 3.1 Pro for chat and deep research with Google Search grounding. Images, SVGs and video preview inline in Claude Desktop through MCP Apps rather than landing as a file path you have to go and open.
