Connect Claude Code or Cursor to Genfeed Cloud

Genfeed Cloud runs a hosted MCP server at mcp.genfeed.ai, so your editor's agent can read your brands, draft posts, schedule releases and check analytics without leaving the editor. You sign in with your Genfeed account in a browser; there is nothing to install on a server and you do not paste an API key.

Before you start

• A Genfeed Cloud account. Creating one is free; metered work follows your plan. See How credits and billing work.
• At least one brand. See Brand setup and brand memory.
• Claude Code or Cursor.

Connect Claude Code

Run this in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http genfeed --scope user https://mcp.genfeed.ai/mcp/claude

Then open /mcp inside Claude Code, select genfeed and choose to authenticate. Sign in and approve access in your browser, then return to Claude Code. Check the result with:

claude mcp list

Ask Claude Code to list your Genfeed brands to confirm it works. Genfeed also publishes a Claude Code plugin with the Genfeed playbook: /plugin install genfeed --marketplace genfeedai/agent.

Connect Cursor

Open the install link on genfeed.ai/cursor, confirm the Genfeed MCP server in Cursor, and sign in with Genfeed OAuth. To add it by hand, put this in your Cursor mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "genfeed": {
      "url": "https://mcp.genfeed.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What the consent screen asks

The browser shows Authorize Genfeed access. Sign in or create an account, pick the organization the client may use, review the scopes, then choose Authorize or Deny. The requested scopes cover videos, images, prompts, articles, post drafts, post scheduling, publish approvals, brands, credits and analytics. Direct publishing is not part of the standard set. Access is limited to the Genfeed MCP resource, and you can revoke it from Settings → API Keys.

Two endpoints, different tools

• https://mcp.genfeed.ai/mcp/claude is the Claude connector. It manages brands, drafts, scheduling and analytics. Image, video and audio creation stay in Studio.
• https://mcp.genfeed.ai/mcp is the standard endpoint that Cursor uses. Its default tool set covers account and brand lookups, content, generation and scheduling.

You can narrow the standard endpoint to specific tool sets with a toolsets query parameter, for example https://mcp.genfeed.ai/mcp?toolsets=content,generation,analytics,brand,scheduler. The core tools are always included.

Review and credits

Genfeed holds drafts for review before anything publishes; publishing tools return an "approval pending" result and the item waits in the approval queue. Actions that generate media or otherwise use metered work draw on your organization's credits like they would in the app, and can return an insufficient-credits or plan-required error.

Troubleshooting

• genfeed is not listed in /mcp: re-run the claude mcp add command and check that its scope matches where you are running Claude Code.
• Authorization was denied or expired: restart the authorization flow from your client, and approve access in the browser.
• Self-hosting? Your MCP server runs on your own host. See Genfeed Cloud vs self-hosted.
