Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Teneo Book GenerationCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Configure the server in your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor) by running npx -y teneo-book-mcp with the TENEO_API_KEY environment variable set to your API key (obtained from https://teneo.io/for-agents). Use the included tools such as teneo_capabilities to discover workflow, teneo_generate_book to start a book (returns a jobId), and teneo_book_status to poll until the job is complete and receive download URLs for the cover and PDF/EPUB/DOCX files.
teneo_capabilities
Discover what Teneo can generate and how: auth, pricing (credits), request fields, the workflow, use cases, and the output shape. Call this first if unsure.
teneo_generate_book
Generate a COMPLETE, publish-ready non-fiction book (full manuscript + cover + PDF/EPUB/DOCX) from a topic/spec. Asynchronous: returns a jobId immediately (~45 min to finish). Then poll teneo_book_status. Charged in Teneo credits to the funded account. Use for a finished book/manuscript or KDP-ready files — not for a short answer or fiction.
teneo_book_status
Check a book generation job. When status is "completed", the response includes outputManifest with coverUrl and time-limited download URLs for each format. Poll every ~30-60s.
teneo_generate_outline
Generate an outline candidate for a nonfiction book without running the full book pipeline.
teneo_generate_cover
Generate a book cover only. This charges the account for cover generation credits.
teneo_evaluate_book
Run a Teneo evaluation on an existing generated book.
teneo_research_niche
Start a niche research job from a seed topic.
