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 --helpSee 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.
