Remote MCP Server (OAuth - Recommended)

This MCP server implements OAuth 2.1 authorization as specified by the Model Context Protocol.

Use our hosted MCP server with any OAuth-compliant MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "generect": {
      "url": "https://mcp.generect.com/mcp",
      "type": "http"
    }
  }
}

When you first connect, the client will initiate an OAuth flow:

1. You'll be redirected to the authorization page
2. Enter your Generect API token from beta.generect.com
3. Authorize the client to access your API
4. The client receives an access token and can now use the MCP tools

OAuth Endpoints

Endpoint	Description
/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource	Protected Resource Metadata (RFC 9728)
/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server	Authorization Server Metadata (RFC 8414)
/.well-known/jwks.json	JSON Web Key Set for token verification
/oauth/authorize	Authorization endpoint (login + consent)
/oauth/token	Token endpoint
/oauth/register	Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591)

Direct API key (no OAuth)

If your MCP client cannot complete the OAuth flow, you can pass the API key directly via the Authorization header. The server accepts any of:

Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Authorization: Token YOUR_API_KEY
Authorization: Bearer Token YOUR_API_KEY   (legacy)

Example for mcp-remote:

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

Local Installation (Alternative)

For local development or when OAuth is not needed:

1. Requirements: Node >= 18

2. Configure environment:

GENERECT_API_BASE=https://api.generect.com
GENERECT_API_KEY=Token <api-key>
GENERECT_TIMEOUT_MS=60000
JWT_SIGNING_KEY=<your-secret-key-for-jwt-signing>
TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<32-byte-hex-key-for-token-encryption>

3. Local dev (optional)

npm install
npm run dev:http

4. Build and start (stdio server)

npm run build && npm start

Tools

• search_leads: Search for leads by ICP filters (supports timeout_ms)
• search_companies: Search for companies by ICP filters (supports timeout_ms)
• generate_email: Generate email by first/last name and domain (supports timeout_ms)
• get_lead_by_url: Get LinkedIn lead by profile URL (supports timeout_ms)
• health: Quick health check against the API (optional url, supports timeout_ms)

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"
      }
    }
  }
}

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" \
  -e JWT_SIGNING_KEY="your-secret-key" \
  -e TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY="0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef" \
  -e OAUTH_BASE_URL=https://your-domain.com \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  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>

Security Notes

• OAuth tokens are JWTs signed by the server and contain your encrypted API token
• Token encryption uses AES-256-GCM with keys derived from your configuration
• PKCE is required for all authorization code flows (S256 method)
• Dynamic Client Registration allows any MCP client to self-register
• Audience validation ensures tokens are only used with this MCP server
