How to Set Up and Use Google AI Studio
AI Studio MCP Server brings Google's Gemini API directly into your MCP-compatible AI assistant, exposing a powerful generate_content tool that supports multi-modal inputs including images, PDFs, audio files, and video. It supports all Gemini 2.5 models and is particularly useful for tasks like PDF-to-Markdown conversion, image analysis, audio transcription with speaker identification, and any generation task that benefits from Gemini's long context window and native file understanding capabilities.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ installed for running npx
- A Google AI Studio API key (get one free at https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey)
- GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable set to your API key
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code
Obtain a Gemini API key
Visit Google AI Studio at https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey and create a free API key. Copy the key — you will need it in the next step.
Test the server locally
Run the server directly with npx to confirm it starts correctly with your API key before adding it to your client config.
GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key npx -y aistudio-mcp-serverAdd the server to your MCP client config
Add the aistudio-mcp-server to your Claude Desktop or other MCP client configuration, setting GEMINI_API_KEY and optionally GEMINI_MODEL to choose a specific Gemini model.

"env": {

"GEMINI_MODEL": "gemini-2.5-flash"
}
}
}
}Restart your MCP client
Restart Claude Desktop or your chosen MCP client to load the new server configuration. The generate_content tool should appear in the available tools list.
Adjust model and limits if needed
Optionally tune performance with environment variables: set GEMINI_TEMPERATURE (0-2, default 0.2), GEMINI_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS (default 8192), GEMINI_MAX_FILES (default 10), and GEMINI_TIMEOUT in milliseconds (default 300000).

Example prompts to use Gemini's multi-modal capabilities via the generate_content tool.
- "Use Gemini to convert this PDF to Markdown: /path/to/document.pdf"
- "Analyze this image and describe what you see: /path/to/photo.jpg"
- "Transcribe this audio file and identify the speakers: /path/to/meeting.mp3"
- "Summarize the key points from this video: /path/to/presentation.mp4"
- "Extract all tables from this PDF and format them as JSON"Troubleshooting Google AI Studio
Error: GEMINI_API_KEY is not set or invalid
Ensure the GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable is set in the mcpServers env block of your config. The key should start with 'AIza'. Get a free key at https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey.
File processing fails or times out
Large files may exceed the default 300-second timeout. Increase GEMINI_TIMEOUT (in milliseconds) in your env config. Also check that GEMINI_MAX_FILES (default 10) and GEMINI_MAX_TOTAL_FILE_SIZE (default 50MB) limits are not exceeded.
generate_content returns truncated output
Increase GEMINI_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS beyond the default 8192 to allow longer responses. For very long documents, consider processing in sections.
