Banana Prompts MCP

MCP server to search Nano Banana prompts from bananaprompts.fun. This MCP entry surfaces a curated ranking/list from the project README rather than a classic multi-tool integration surface. It still exposes 2 documented tools (including search_prompts_by_tags, search_prompts_by_query) for browsing or selecting items from that list. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting this server to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
