MCP Inspector usage

You can use the MCP Inspector to test the Genmedia MCP servers.

An example config file is provided where you can use veo-go, imagen-go, or chirp3-go as your server.

Terminal window
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector --config genmedia-config.json --server veo-go

Please note the example file has a few configurations you’ll want to change

  • PROJECT_ID per genmedia service, set your Google Cloud Project ID
  • GENMEDIA_BUCKET this is optional, and if you set it, this will be used as the default Google Cloud Storag bucket for created assets

Veo will require a slightly longer timeout, so please start with a MCP_SERVER_REQUEST_TIMEOUT of 50 seconds (50000ms).

Terminal window
export MCP_SERVER_REQUEST_TIMEOUT=55000
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
