media-gen-mcp

A remote MCP server that lets Claude / ChatGPT generate images (meta.ai) and videos (vibes.ai). Hosted on Render, kept alive 24/7 by UptimeRobot.

Media delivery: images are embedded inline in the chat (MCP image content blocks) and returned as public CDN URLs for download. A hourly janitor purges stray temp files so Render's free disk never fills.

Endpoints

GET /health — keep-alive probe (UptimeRobot: HTTP monitor, every 5 min)
GET / — info JSON
POST /mcp — MCP Streamable HTTP transport (stateless)

Run locally

pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m uvicorn server:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

Deploy on Render

Push this repo to GitHub.
Render → New → Web Service → connect the repo. It reads render.yaml, or manually:
- Build: pip install -r requirements.txt
- Start: uvicorn server:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port $PORT
- Health check path: /health
Optional env var: META_TOKEN (overrides embedded token).
Free plan sleeps after ~15 min idle → UptimeRobot pings /health.
