An image-generation workflow for creating standalone Meta ad images through Arcads' optional MCP server using Nano Banana.

In plain words

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

nano-banana-image-ad-arcads-mcp scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 159 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

nano-banana-image-ad (Arcads MCP)

Generate standalone Meta image-ad creatives with the Nano Banana family (default nano-banana-2, Gemini Flash Image) through the Arcads MCP server. Image files hand off to your meta-ad-builder skill — this skill generates images only.

This is the MCP-native version of nano-banana-image-ad. No .env, no HTTP Basic auth, no generate_image.py, no manual presigned-upload loop, no session-folder calls.

REST nano-banana-image-ad step MCP replacement
generate_image.py + curl auth / .env arcads_generate_image_nano_banana (MCP handles auth)
POST /v2/images/generate Nano Banana model arcads_generate_image_nano_banana(model=…)
presigned upload + PUT (in-script) arcads_get_upload_url + PUT (explicit — see Uploading)
GET /v1/assets/{id} polling loop arcads_watch_asset (status and URL in one call)
--n → N parallel POSTs nbGenerations (1–10) in a single call
PRODUCT_ID / session folder nothing — productId auto-selects

MCP model divergence (important): the MCP tool arcads_generate_image_nano_banana only accepts nano-banana and nano-banana-2. The REST script's nano-banana-pro and nano-banana-edit variants are not exposed on this MCP tool. Default to nano-banana-2 (up to 14 refs — the standard for ad creatives). For a tighter masked inpaint edit there is no MCP enum here; do a full regen with the change described in the prompt, or use the REST nano-banana-image-ad skill for nano-banana-edit.

Tools used (Arcads MCP)

Tool Role
arcads_generate_image_nano_banana Generate the ad. model, prompt, aspectRatio, referenceImages (≤14), nbGenerations (1–10).
arcads_get_upload_url Presigned S3 URL for each local reference image. Required in remote agent clients such as Cursor.
arcads_watch_asset Poll status and fetch the signed downloadUrl. Primary poll tool.
arcads_list_products Resolve productId (optional — auto-selects with one product).
