If your coding assistant can already read files, run commands, and reason about a project, the next useful step is often visual: generating mockups, editing product shots, or iterating on image assets without leaving the IDE.
What you can do
Nano Banana MCP is an MCP server for connecting image generation and image editing tools to AI clients such as Claude Desktop, VS Code, and Cursor. Once it is configured, the assistant can call a small set of image-focused tools during a normal conversation instead of forcing you to switch to a separate image UI.
The documented tool surface is intentionally compact:
nanobanana_generate_image — generate images from text prompts
