Getting Started

Getting Started

Choose the distribution that matches the work you want to do.

Genfeed Cloud

The hosted product is available at app.genfeed.ai . Cloud account setup, plan availability, and managed-service entitlements can change independently of this repository. Use the hosted product UI and current pricing pages as the source of truth for those details.

Community self-hosting

Community is the public, single-tenant Docker distribution. It runs the web app, REST API, MCP server, PostgreSQL, and embedded Redis without requiring local Node.js, Bun, or a Genfeed Cloud account.

Follow the self-host quick start. Add a provider key only when you want generation; the application can boot without one.

Source development

Contributors need Node.js 24, the latest stable Bun from .bun-version, Git, and Docker Compose for local PostgreSQL/Redis. Use the repository’s canonical contribution guide  instead of the distribution quick start.

CLI

The published CLI can be installed with Bun:

bun add --global @genfeedai/cli genfeed --help

See the CLI reference for authentication, configuration, and the full command surface.

API access

Programmatic access uses a gf_ API key created in organization settings at /{orgSlug}/~/settings/api-keys. The same key authenticates the REST API and the hosted MCP server:

export GENFEED_API_KEY=gf_live_xxx curl https://api.genfeed.ai/v1/posts \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $GENFEED_API_KEY"

Follow the API keys guide for scopes, rate limits, and rotation. In managed cloud, API access is a paid-plan entitlement; self-hosted deployments always have it.
