What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs in the cloud
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Category: Design, images & audio
You need to fill in: X-API-Key

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
You fill in yourself: X-API-Key

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http gen https://mcp.gen.pro --header 'X-API-Key: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gen": {
      "url": "https://mcp.gen.pro",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "gen": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.gen.pro",

Common questions

Is GEN safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: X-API-Key

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.2) reached the registry 32 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Figma Context MCP, Claude Real Video, Figma MCP Server

GEN MCP Server

## ⚠️ The downloadable package is deprecated — use https://mcp.gen.pro

This is the FINAL PyPI release of `gen-mcp-server`. GEN no longer ships a

downloadable MCP: the official GEN MCP is the hosted server at

https://mcp.gen.pro. No further versions will be published to PyPI.

The package still works so existing integrations have a migration window, but

it will not receive new tools, fixes, or API updates — the hosted server is

already ahead of it and is the only surface kept in sync with the GEN API.

Installing it emits a DeprecationWarning; the stdio CLI prints a notice to

stderr on start.

Use the official hosted MCP (all clients)

No install. Point your MCP client at the hosted endpoint and authenticate with your GEN Personal Access Token (from https://gen.pro — log in, pick an agent, open the API page in the sidebar, click Create API Key):

"name": "gen", "url": "https://mcp.gen.pro", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer gen_pat_…" } }

(Existing configs using https://mcp.gen.pro/mcp keep working.)

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http gen https://mcp.gen.pro \

--header "Authorization: Bearer gen_pat_…"

Manus: Settings → Integrations → Custom MCP Servers → Add Server

Server URL: https://mcp.gen.pro
Authentication: Bearer token → your gen_… PAT

claude.ai connectors / ChatGPT: add a custom MCP connector with the same URL + bearer token.

The hosted server is multi-tenant — each caller acts as their own GEN identity; your PAT scopes everything you can see and do.

What it is

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the GEN platform — lets Claude and any MCP-compatible AI drive the GEN Auto Content Engine + Agent Core: the full 5-step journey from onboarding an agent to publishing a video.

Step 1           Step 2            Step 3              Step 4             Step 5

────── ────── ────── ────── ────── Set Up → Generate → Idea to → Edit & → Export & Agent Ideas Vidsheet Generate Publish

Read the gen://api-reference MCP resource for the full teaching document, and api.gen.pro for the API reference. Tool descriptions start with the step name (e.g. "Step 4 (Edit & Generate): …") so AI tooling can route quickly.

Legacy local install (deprecated — migrate to the hosted URL above)

The stdio mode still functions for the migration window:

uvx gen-mcp-server           # or: pip install gen-mcp-server && gen-mcp-server

export GEN_API_KEY=your-api-key

It prints a deprecation notice to stderr on start. Do not build new integrations on it; use https://mcp.gen.pro.

Optional base-URL overrides (legacy stdio only):

export GEN_API_BASE_URL=https://api.gen.pro/v1

export GEN_AGENT_API_URL=https://agent.gen.pro/v1 export GEN_AGENT_CORE_API_URL=https://agent-core.gen.pro/v1

Development (this repo stays alive — it IS the hosted server)

This repository remains the source of the hosted mcp.gen.pro deployment; only the PyPI distribution is retired.

git clone https://github.com/poweredbyGEN/gen-mcp-server.git

cd gen-mcp-server uv venv && . .venv/bin/activate uv pip install -e . GEN_MCP_PORT=8080 gen-mcp-server --http # hosted streamable-http mode, serves / and /mcp
