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

1. Push this repo to GitHub.
2. 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
3. Optional env var: META_TOKEN (overrides embedded token).
4. Free plan sleeps after ~15 min idle → UptimeRobot pings /health.
