Install & Agents

remote-mcp

Publisher instructions with a documented client setup path.

Source evidence observed Oct 14, 2026.

Additional setup details required — see the specific gaps below.

Install / connect
Publisher instructions
Recommended: configure MeiGen remote OAuth connector according to the publisher SETUP.md. ChatGPT users can install the official MeiGen app and sign in. Local npm/API-key route is an alternative and does not grant the same private-library access.
In Claude Desktop / Claude.ai: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → use remote MCP URL from publisher SETUP.md → complete MeiGen OAuth sign-in; alternatively install official MeiGen ChatGPT app.
Configure / authenticate
Publisher instructions
New MeiGen users should connect remote MCP using OAuth. Local npm/MEIGEN_API_TOKEN is legacy or BYOK and does not expose private library; generated images/videos can consume purchased credits.
Check connection
Suggested check
Use list_models or list_skills as a non-billable capability check; do not generate.
Remove / uninstall / revoke
Suggested check
Claude/other host: Settings → Connectors → remove the MeiGen remote OAuth connection. ChatGPT: disable/uninstall MeiGen app from connected apps. Local npm integration: delete its MCP entry; no account deletion.
Distinguish client registration removal from software uninstall, persistent data deletion and provider OAuth/API-key revocation.
