Vertex AI is not responding.
Vertex AI was working recently, but it's not working now. Sends request, no error, no response, just waits. I use Claude in the code. Could you please check?

region auth
i think you need to set the region to global in order for it to work on VERTEX AI - GCP_REGION=us-central1 should be global instead

Edit mode ignores model_tier and always uses gemini-2.5-flash-image

Feature Request: Add option to return full-resolution images in MCP response instead of thumbnails
Summary
Currently, the server returns thumbnail previews in the MCP response while saving full-resolution images to disk. It would be valuable to have a configuration option to return full-resolution images directly in the MCP response.
Use Case
Many MCP clients display images inline within their chat interface. When only thumbnails are returned, users see low-quality previews and must manually navigate to the disk path to view the actual generated images. This breaks the workflow and r

"image_size" not supported in google-genai==1.41.0, require later version of google-genai dependency
Thank you for your code!
In pyproject.toml, one of the dependencies is "google-genai>=1.41.0", but if you use "google-genai==1.41.0", you will get a validation error since "image_size" is not in ImageConfig: https://github.com/googleapis/python-genai/blob/v1.41.0/google/genai/types.py#L3844 (on another note, neither is "output_mime_type", but that is another issue per https://github.com/zhongweili/nanobanana-mcp-server/issues/11)
I upgraded google-genai to the latest version 1.57.0 and it wo

Aspect Ratio workaround
This is A wonderful MCP! surprised it's the first of it's kind. Very likely it will get more popular soon.
Regarding aspect ratios - Nano banana for some reason cannot generate images that are not 1:1 aspect ratio right now.
I saw a trick online that using edit instead of create, we can provide a desired aspect black image, and then it generates on top of that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ttvmsGSR_Y
It would be interesting to integrate it into the server, as a separate non- 1:1 aspect ra
