Teneo Book Generation

What is Teneo Book Generation?

Teneo Book Generation is an MCP server that generates complete, publish-ready non-fiction books—full manuscript, cover, and PDF/EPUB/DOCX files—from a topic or specification via Teneo’s agent API. It is for users who want to automate book creation asynchronously (taking roughly 45 minutes per book) and is charged in Teneo credits.

How to use Teneo Book Generation?

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.
