Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security100
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
- Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised native-build step with no shell scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
- 1 of 23 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency19
- Repository check failed: the declared repository URL returned HTTP 404. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 39 days ago).Pass
- Security-disclosure policy not yet verified: we couldn't inspect the source repository.Unverified
Schema Quality & AI Usability75
- 75% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Partial
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 4625 tokens (~71/item across 65 items; 62 tools + 3 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management93
- Stability observed for 28 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage67
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
Tool Safety75
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- 0 of 3 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "gen_delete_asset" implies "delete" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
- An AI judge read all 63 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
gen_render_video Gen Render Video ~83
Render the final composed video for a final_video cell — combines all layers/rows (the scenes) into ONE deliverable. This is how you assemble a long / multi-scene video. Returns a generation_id; poll gen_get_generation.

What is the GEN MCP server?
GEN is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.poweredbyGEN/gen-mcp-server. GEN is an autonomous social media agent: it spots trends, writes scripts, and creates videos. This page covers its PyPI package (gen-mcp-server).
Is the GEN MCP server safe to use?
GEN scores 74 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 21 September 2026. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the GEN MCP server expose?
GEN exposes 62 tools: gen_version, gen_get_me, gen_list_workspaces, gen_list_agents, gen_get_agent, and 57 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 4,611 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the GEN MCP server still maintained?
GEN is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 21 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
What licence is the GEN MCP server under?
GEN declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
