Setup

There are two ways to connect to https://app.gensiv.com/api/mcp:

Both are read-only by default. To let the assistant make changes, turn on Allow changes on the consent screen, or use a key created with Allow changes.

Connect with OAuthCopy Anchor Link

Claude CodeCopy Anchor Link

claude mcp add --transport http gensiv https://app.gensiv.com/api/mcp

Then run /mcp in Claude Code and choose gensiv to sign in.

Claude, ChatGPT and other appsCopy Anchor Link

Add a custom connector (some apps call it a custom MCP server) and paste https://app.gensiv.com/api/mcp as the URL. The app opens Gensiv in your browser to sign in.

Cursor and other editorsCopy Anchor Link

Add the server to the editor's MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gensiv": { "url": "https://app.gensiv.com/api/mcp" }
  }
}

What happens when you sign inCopy Anchor Link

Connecting uses OAuth, so you never paste a password into the assistant:

1. The app opens Gensiv in your browser. Sign in if you aren't already.
2. Gensiv shows what the app is asking for. If it asks to make changes, an Allow changes switch appears, off by default. Turn it on only if you want the assistant to edit your data, then choose Allow access or Deny.
3. The app gets a token for your account and the connection is ready.

To disconnect, remove the connector in the app.

Connect with an API keyCopy Anchor Link

Create a key in Settings > API keys (owners and admins, Starter and up). The API reference explains keys, expiry and revoking. Send it in the x-api-key header, or as Authorization: Bearer gsk_....

Claude CodeCopy Anchor Link

claude mcp add --transport http gensiv https://app.gensiv.com/api/mcp \
  --header "x-api-key: $GENSIV_API_KEY"

Other clientsCopy Anchor Link

Most MCP clients accept headers in their config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gensiv": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.gensiv.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "x-api-key": "gsk_..." }
    }
  }
}

A key skips the consent screen, so treat it like a password. It shares the API's limit of 120 requests a minute, and an invalid or revoked key gets 401.
