Installation

Installing via Smithery

Install the server in Claude Desktop:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @Artin0123/gemini-image-mcp-server --client claude

Manual Installation

# Clone the repositorygit clone https://github.com/Artin0123/gemini-vision-mcp.gitcd gemini-vision-mcp
# Install dependenciesnpm install
# Compile TypeScript to dist/npm run build

Configuration

Create a Gemini API key in Google AI Studio and provide GEMINI_API_KEY to the server.

{  "mcpServers": {    "gemini-media": {      "command": "node",      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/gemini-vision-mcp/dist/index.js"],      "env": {        "GEMINI_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here",        "GEMINI_MODEL": "models/gemini-flash-lite-latest"      }    }  }}

If no key is supplied, the server can still start (handy for automated scans), but any tool invocation will return a configuration error until a valid API key is configured.

Model override

The server defaults to models/gemini-flash-lite-latest. Override it by either:

Setting the GEMINI_MODEL environment variable, or Providing modelName in the Smithery/SDK configuration schema.

Available tools

• analyze_image: Analyze one or more image URLs. Maximum file size: 16 MB per image.
• analyze_youtube_video: Analyze a YouTube video from URL. No size limit.

Image URLs are downloaded and processed with a 16 MB size limit to ensure fast response times. Files exceeding this limit will result in an error message indicating the actual file size.

YouTube videos are streamed directly by Gemini API without downloading, so there is no size restriction.
