Security Report
This is a well-structured MCP server for the Teneo book generation API with proper authentication mechanisms and clean code quality. Authentication is correctly implemented with multiple supported schemes (bearer token, service key), credentials are sourced from environment variables, and input validation uses Zod. Minor concerns around error handling verbosity and HTTP method/path encoding don't materially impact security. Supply chain analysis found 1 known vulnerability in dependencies (0 critical, 1 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue (1 critical, 0 high severity).

teneo-book-mcp
MCP server for Teneo. Lets any MCP-capable agent — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, or your own — generate a complete, publish-ready non-fiction book: full manuscript, cover, and PDF/EPUB/DOCX files.

"mcpServers": {

Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
teneo_capabilities | Discover auth, pricing, request shape, workflow, and output shape. Start here. |
teneo_generate_book | Start a book (async) → returns a jobId. Runs ~45 min. Charged in credits. |
teneo_book_status | Poll a job; when completed, returns download URLs for the cover and PDF/EPUB/DOCX. |
teneo_generate_outline | Generate an outline only, without running the full pipeline. Free. |
teneo_research_niche | Niche research from a seed topic. Free. |
teneo_generate_cover | Generate a cover only. |
teneo_evaluate_book | Run quality evaluation on an existing generated book. |
What it costs
Priced in Teneo credits. One credit is $69 singly, $59 each in a 3-pack, $44.90 each in a 10-pack; credits never expire.
requiredCredits = bookCredits + coverCredits + qualityCreditsReserve
bookCredits = wordBandCredits(estimatedWordCount) x modelMultiplier(model_version)
estimatedWordCount = number_of_chapters x topics_per_chapter x subtopic_count x 350
A default request (12 chapters / 3 topics / 3 subtopics) estimates 37,800 words → 1.05
credits, about $72 at list. teneo_generate_outline and teneo_research_niche cost
nothing, so validate direction before committing to a paid generation.
A funded Teneo balance is required before the first paid call — there is no
pay-per-call endpoint yet. The live numbers, the full model-multiplier table, and the
request schema are always at
/api/agent/capabilities, which is
authoritative if anything here disagrees with it.
Setup
Get a credential, then add the config block above to your MCP client.
- Preferred (delegated): start at
auth.teneo.io/auth.md, register forhttps://teneo.io/, have the user approve the claim, and exchange it for a delegated agent token. Pass it asTENEO_AGENT_TOKEN. The delegated user is charged. - Legacy: create an API key in your Teneo dashboard and pass
TENEO_API_KEY=tk_live_.... - Point at staging with
TENEO_BASE_URL=https://staging.teneo.io.
Spend semantics
Worth knowing before you wire this into an autonomous loop:
- Quoted before charged. A request that would exceed the balance returns
402with the full quote and charges nothing — a safe way to read the exact price. - Idempotent. Send an
Idempotency-Keyheader; replaying a request replays the original debit instead of charging twice. - Refunded on failure. A failed generation is refunded in full.
- Async. A book takes ~45 minutes. Poll
teneo_book_status, or passcallback_urlfor a completion webhook. Download URLs expire in ~1 hour; re-poll for fresh ones.
Not for
A single short answer, a blog post, or an article — answer those directly instead. Fiction and novels are not supported by this API.
Develop
npm test # unit tests for the HTTP client (mocked fetch, no network)
npm start # run the MCP server over stdio
client.mjs is a dependency-free HTTP client; server.mjs wraps it as MCP tools. Both
mirror the published
OpenAPI contract.
