Generect MCP

🚀 Generect Live API MCP Server

A minimal MCP server that exposes Generect Live API tools for B2B lead generation and company search.

🚀 Quick Start

✨ Get Your API Key

Sign up and get your API key at https://beta.generect.com.

📦 Remote MCP Server (Recommended)

Use our hosted MCP server via MCP Registry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "generect": {
      "command": "mcp-remote",
      "args": [
        "https://mcp.generect.com/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer Token YOUR_API_KEY"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your key from beta.generect.com.

📦 Local Installation (Alternative)

1. Requirements: Node >= 18
2. Configure environment (usually via your MCP client settings):

GENERECT_API_BASE=https://api.generect.com
GENERECT_API_KEY=Token <api-key>
GENERECT_TIMEOUT_MS=60000

3. Local dev (optional):

npm install
npm run dev

4. Build and start (stdio server):

npm run build && npm start

⌨️ Cursor integration (settings.json excerpt)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "generect-liveapi": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["./node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs", "src/server.ts"],
      "env": {
        "GENERECT_API_BASE": "https://api.generect.com",
        "GENERECT_API_KEY": "Token YOUR_API_KEY",
        "GENERECT_TIMEOUT_MS": "60000"
      }
    }
  }
}

📈 Claude Desktop (MCP) setup

Add to ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json (or via UI → MCP Servers). Recommended: run via npx so users don't install anything globally.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "generect-api": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "generect-ultimate-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "GENERECT_API_BASE": "https://api.generect.com",
        "GENERECT_API_KEY": "Token YOUR_API_KEY",
        "GENERECT_TIMEOUT_MS": "60000",
        "MCP_DEBUG": "0"
      }
    }
  }
}

⚠️ Important Note

macOS note: If Claude shows "spawn npx ENOENT" or launches an older Node via nvm, set command to the absolute npx path and/or override PATH:

{
  "command": "/usr/local/bin/npx",
  "env": { "PATH": "/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin" }
}

Alternative without npx:

npm i -g generect-ultimate-mcp

Then use:

{ "command": "/usr/local/bin/generect-mcp", "args": [] }

🐳 Docker

Build locally:

docker build -t ghcr.io/generect/generect_mcp:local .

Run the server in a container:

docker run --rm \
  -e GENERECT_API_BASE=https://api.generect.com \
  -e GENERECT_API_KEY="Token YOUR_API_KEY" \
  ghcr.io/generect/generect_mcp:local

🌐 Remote over SSH (advanced)

Some MCP clients allow spawning the server via SSH, using stdio over the SSH session. Example config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "generect-remote": {
      "command": "ssh",
      "args": [
        "user@remote-host",
        "-T",
        "node",
        "/opt/generect_mcp/dist/server.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GENERECT_API_BASE": "https://api.generect.com",
        "GENERECT_API_KEY": "Token YOUR_API_KEY",
        "GENERECT_TIMEOUT_MS": "60000"
      }
    }
  }
}

🧪 Local testing helpers

• Run a simple health check against the API:

npm run health -- <api-key>

• Call tools via a local MCP client:

npm run mcp:client -- <api-key>
