How do I set up Claude image generation with Gemini?

Snag a Gemini API key from AI Studio (billing on), edit Claude Desktop's config.json with the MCP server block, restart, and prompt explicitly.

Does this Claude Gemini integration cost money?

Yes, but dirt cheap—Gemini's image gen runs cents per output. No billing? No dice.

Maybe, but this MCP hack delivers today. Multi-model agents like this are the real endgame anyway.
