To quickly get started, you can use the pre-built Docker image:
docker pull ghcr.io/baronco/genfilesmcp:v0.3.0
Run the container:
docker run -d --restart unless-stopped -p 8016:8016 \
-e OWUI_URL="http://host.docker.internal:3000" \
-e PORT=8016 \
-e REVIEWER_AI_ASSISTANT_NAME="GenFilesMCP" \
-e ENABLE_CREATE_KNOWLEDGE=false \
--name gen_files_mcp \
ghcr.io/baronco/genfilesmcp:v0.3.0
Or copy and paste this one-liner:
docker run -d --restart unless-stopped -p 8016:8016 -e OWUI_URL="http://host.docker.internal:3000" -e PORT=8016 -e REVIEWER_AI_ASSISTANT_NAME="GenFilesMCP" -e ENABLE_CREATE_KNOWLEDGE=false --name gen_files_mcp ghcr.io/baronco/genfilesmcp:v0.3.0
