Hello, I need a little help. Forgive me for the explanation, I am not good at coding.

I am attempting to get Claude to work with Gemini to generate images using an MCP. I followed the instructions here: https://github.com/houtini-ai/gemini-mcp

Claude is connected with Gemini successfully, and I asked it to generate a simple picture, just to test it. It fails, tells me 'limit=0' for all of the models I ask it to try.

My question is simple: is there a free tier of the Google API key that I can use for image creation, and if so, how do I get it to work? Or is the only way forward to load money onto the google API key website so I can make the whole thing function
