MassGen · Install
Installation
**Method 1: PyPI Installation** (Recommended - Python 3.11+):
# Install MassGen via pip
pip install massgen
# Or with uv (faster)
pip install uv
uv venv && source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install massgen**Quickstart Setup** (Fastest way to get running):
# Step 1: Set up API keys, Docker, and skills
uv run massgen --setup
# Step 2: Create a simple config and start
uv run massgen --quickstart**MCP Integration:** MassGen supports Model Context Protocol (MCP) as one of its operation modes, allowing integration with MCP-compatible systems.
