Paper Banana CN MCP Server

PaperBanana-CN generates methodology diagrams from research descriptions and statistical plots from CSV or JSON data. It uses the PaperBanana scientific workflow and adds separate VLM and image-service connections, a Chinese Studio interface, and explicit aspect-ratio and resolution controls. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting media tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.
