Generect MCP

How to Install and Use Generect MCP

Generect MCP is a tool that connects Generect’s Live API with clients like Claude Desktop and Cursor. It helps you use Generect’s features like lead search, company search, and email generation right inside your workspace through simple natural language commands. Below is a practical guide to help you install and use Generect MCP.

How to Use Generect MCP with Claude Desktop

First, you need the Claude Desktop app because the web chat version doesn’t support MCP settings yet. After you download and open Claude Desktop, you will change a configuration file to add Generect MCP.

1. Go to Settings by clicking your account icon in Claude Desktop.
2. Find the Developer tab and click Edit config. This opens a file named claude_desktop_config.json.
3. Depending on your computer:
   • On macOS, this file is at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • On Windows, it’s at %APPDATA%Claudeclaude_desktop_config.json
4. Add the following MCP Server section to your config file. Make sure to replace "Token your-api-key" with your actual API key without removing the word Token:

{
  "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"
      }
    }
  }
}

1. Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.
2. You will now see generect-api in the Search and tools dropdown.
3. When Claude needs to use Generect features, it will ask for your permission to connect to external tools.

This method lets Claude Desktop use Generect’s lead search and email functions seamlessly.

How to Use Generect MCP with Cursor

If you prefer Cursor IDE, adding Generect MCP is even simpler. Cursor allows you to install MCP plugins directly through a button from their site.

1. Click the following button to add Generect MCP to your Cursor IDE:
