GEN MCP Server
⚠️ The downloadable package is deprecated — use
https://mcp.gen.proThis is the FINAL PyPI release of
gen-mcp-server. GEN no longer ships adownloadable MCP: the official GEN MCP is the hosted server athttps://mcp.gen.pro. No further versions will be published to PyPI.The package still works so existing integrations have a migration window, butit will not receive new tools, fixes, or API updates — the hosted server isalready 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 tostderr on start.
Use the official hosted MCP (all clients)
No install. Point your MCP client at the hosted endpoint and authenticate withyour 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 sameURL + 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 anyMCP-compatible AI drive the GEN Auto Content Engine + Agent Core: the full5-step journey from onboarding an agent to publishing a video.

Read the gen://api-reference MCP resource for the full teaching document, andapi.gen.pro for the API reference. Tool descriptionsstart with the step name (e.g. "Step 4 (Edit & Generate): …") so AI tooling canroute 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 newintegrations 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; onlythe PyPI distribution is retired.
git clone https://github.com/poweredbyGEN/gen-mcp-server.git
cd gen-mcp-server
