Frequently asked questions

How do I get a Genius API key?

Visit the [Genius API Client management page](https://genius.com/api-clients), create a new client, and generate a Client Access Token. This token provides read-only access to public endpoints.

What are the system requirements?

Node.js version 16 or higher and npm (or uv) are required.

How do I run the server with npx?

Set the environment variable `GENIUS_CLIENT_ACCESS_TOKEN` to your token, then run `npx -y genius-mcp-server`. The server will start on stdio.

How do I configure it with Claude for Desktop?

Edit `claude_desktop_config.json` (located in `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/` on macOS/Linux or `%APPDATA%\Claude` on Windows) and add an entry under `mcpServers` with `command: "npx"`, `args: ["-y", "genius-mcp-server"]`, and `env: { "GENIUS_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_token" }`.

What is the authentication model?

The server uses a Client Access Token passed as an environment variable. It only provides read access to public Genius API endpoints. For advanced user-specific features, OAuth would be needed.
