01 · Install Mediagen

before you install - you'll need

GEMINI_API_KEY

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add cripacx-mediagen -- npx -y mediagen

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cripacx-mediagen": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mediagen"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

repo age created 2026-08-22 - young repo, little track record yet

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package mediagen - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry namespace io.github.Cripacx is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Mediagen can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

Limitations (from the README)

[!WARNING] There is deliberately no flag that takes an API key as an argument. Arguments land in shell history and in the process list, where they outlive the command that used them.
