Let any MCP-capable agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) generate a complete, publish-ready non-fiction book — full manuscript + cover + PDF/EPUB/DOCX — through Teneo's agent API.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`teneo_capabilities`	Discover auth, pricing, fields, workflow, use cases, output shape.
`teneo_generate_book`	Start a book (async) → returns a `jobId`. ~45 min. Charged in credits.
`teneo_book_status`	Poll a job; when `completed`, returns download URLs for cover + PDF/EPUB/DOCX.
`teneo_generate_outline`	Generate an outline without running the full book pipeline.
`teneo_generate_cover`	Generate a cover only.
`teneo_evaluate_book`	Run evaluation on an existing generated book.
`teneo_research_niche`	Start niche research from a seed topic.

Setup

Get delegated access. Preferred: start at https://auth.teneo.io/auth.md, register service_auth for teneo-production / https://teneo.io/, have the user approve the claim, and exchange it for a delegated agent token. Legacy: create an API key in your Teneo dashboard (or POST /api/agent/keys while logged in). Both bearer paths charge the authenticated/delegated user's credit balance; top up at https://teneo.io/pricing.
Add to your MCP client. Example (Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "teneo-book": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "teneo-book-mcp"],
      "env": { "TENEO_AGENT_TOKEN": "delegated-agent-token" }
    }
  }
}

Legacy dashboard keys can be passed as TENEO_API_KEY=tk_live_.... Ecosystem agents can instead set TENEO_SERVICE_KEY + TENEO_ON_BEHALF_OF. Point at staging with TENEO_BASE_URL=https://staging.teneo.io.

Develop / verify

npm test                 # unit tests (mocked fetch) for the HTTP client
TENEO_BASE_URL=https://staging.teneo.io TENEO_AGENT_TOKEN=... npm run integration-test   # real staging end-to-end (charges credits)
TENEO_AGENT_TOKEN=... npm start                      # run the MCP server (stdio)

client.mjs is the pure, testable HTTP client (no SDK deps); server.mjs wraps it as MCP tools. Mirrors https://teneo.io/openapi/agent-book-generation.yaml.

Publishing & promotion (how agents find this)

npm publish (teneo-book-mcp — unscoped, public by default).
Submit to MCP registries so agent builders discover it:
- Official MCP registry, Smithery (smithery.ai), mcp.so, Glama (glama.ai/mcp).
Link it from https://teneo.io/llms.txt, the /agents page, and the OpenAPI.
Provide the config snippet above in docs + directory listings (copy-paste = adoption).
