Quick Start

1. Get Your API Token

• Sign up at AceDataCloud Platform
• Go to the API documentation page
• Click "Acquire" to get your API token
• Copy the token for use below

2. Use the Hosted Server (Recommended)

AceDataCloud hosts a managed MCP server — no local installation required.

Endpoint: https://veo.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp

All requests require a Bearer token. Use the API token from Step 1.

Claude.ai

Connect directly on Claude.ai with OAuth — no API token needed:

• Go to Claude.ai Settings → Integrations → Add More
• Enter the server URL: https://veo.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp
• Complete the OAuth login flow
• Start using the tools in your conversation

Claude Desktop

Add to your config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "veo": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://veo.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor / Windsurf

Add to your MCP config (.cursor/mcp.json or .windsurf/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "veo": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://veo.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add to your VS Code MCP config (.vscode/mcp.json):

{
  "servers": {
    "veo": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://veo.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or install the Ace Data Cloud MCP extension for VS Code, which registers the hosted MCP servers with one-click setup.

JetBrains IDEs

• Go to Settings → Tools → AI Assistant → Model Context Protocol (MCP)
• Click Add → HTTP
• Paste:

{
  "mcpServers": {

    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add veo --transport http https://veo.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp \
  -h "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"

Or add to your project's .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "veo": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://veo.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cline

        }
      }
    }
  }
}

cURL Test

# Health check (no auth required)
curl https://veo.mcp.acedata.cloud/health

# MCP initialize
curl -X POST https://veo.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}'

3. Or Run Locally (Alternative)

If you prefer to run the server on your own machine:

# Install from PyPI
pip install mcp-veo
# or
uvx mcp-veo

# Set your API token
export ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN="your_token_here"

# Run (stdio mode for Claude Desktop / local clients)
mcp-veo

# Run (HTTP mode for remote access)
mcp-veo --transport http --port 8000

Claude Desktop (Local)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "veo": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-veo"],
      "env": {
        "ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Docker (Self-Hosting)

docker pull ghcr.io/acedatacloud/mcp-veo:latest
docker run -p 8000:8000 ghcr.io/acedatacloud/mcp-veo:latest

Clients connect with their own Bearer token — the server extracts the token from each request's Authorization header.
