gemini-nano-banana-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

gemini-nano-banana-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from kevinkiklee/gemini-nano-banana-mcp. It costs 922 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for an MCP server that uses Google Gemini Nano Banana models to generate images. MCP is a standard way for an agent to call tools provided by another program.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing, testing, or maintaining this Gemini-based image-generation MCP server.
Why use it?
It gives developers the commands, code structure, testing rules, and security requirements needed to work on the image-generation server. The excerpt does not describe the server's individual image tools.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code.

This is kevinkiklee/gemini-nano-banana-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on gemini-nano-banana-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything gemini-nano-banana-mcp configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gemini-nano-banana-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

gemini-nano-banana-mcp

Global MCP server for image generation using Google Gemini Nano Banana models.

Commands

  • pnpm build — Compile TypeScript to dist/
  • pnpm dev — Run stdio transport directly with tsx (development)
  • pnpm dev:http — Run HTTP transport directly with tsx (development)
  • pnpm serve — Run HTTP transport from compiled dist/ (production)
  • pnpm test — Run tests with Vitest
  • pnpm test:watch — Run tests in watch mode

Conventions

  • All source files must be under 150 lines. If a file approaches the limit, split it into focused modules.

Architecture

Shared libraries in src/, server entry points in src/server/:

  • src/utils.ts — File/path utilities (slugify, sanitize, expand, unique filepath)
  • src/secret-patterns.tsSECRET_PATTERNS constant (~28 regexes)
  • src/security.tsscanForSecrets, RateLimiter class
  • src/sanitize.tsquarantineModelText (untrusted model output) and safeErrorMessage (error-message allowlist for MCP tool output)
  • src/gemini.ts — MODEL_MAP, MODEL_KEYS, callGemini wrapper, lazy client singleton, resetClient
  • src/gemini-retry.ts — isTransientError, isOverloaded, backoffDelayMs, MAX_ATTEMPTS (retry primitives)
  • src/gemini-types.ts — Gemini API type definitions (options, result, response shapes, GeminiClient)
  • src/server/server.tslog(), Zod schema, ToolResult type, createMcpServer() factory
  • src/server/handler.tshandleGenerateImage() pure tool handler
  • src/server/index.ts — Stdio entry point (local / Claude Code)
  • src/server/http.ts — HTTP server setup, auth gate (timing-safe), main entry
  • src/server/http-routes.ts — MCP POST/GET/DELETE route handlers
  • src/server/http-helpers.ts — Session registry (with TTL), readBody (1MB limit), json helper
  • src/server/lifecycle.ts — Session reaper, graceful shutdown

Tests are colocated per module: utils.test.ts, security.test.ts, sanitize.test.ts, gemini.test.ts, server/server.test.ts, server/http.test.ts.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
