MCP Veo

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI video generation using Veo through the AceDataCloud API.

Generate AI videos from text prompts or images directly from Claude, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client.

Features

• Text to Video - Create AI-generated videos from text descriptions
• Image to Video - Animate images or create transitions between images
• Multi-Image Fusion - Blend elements from multiple images
• 1080p Upscaling - Get high-resolution versions of generated videos
• Task Tracking - Monitor generation progress and retrieve results
• Multiple Models - Choose between quality and speed with various Veo models

Quick Start

1. Get API Token

Get your API token from AceDataCloud Platform:

1. Sign up or log in
2. Navigate to Veo Videos API
3. Click "Acquire" to get your token

2. Install

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/AceDataCloud/MCPVeo.git
cd MCPVeo

# Install with pip
pip install -e .

# Or with uv (recommended)
uv pip install -e .

3. Configure

# Copy example environment file
cp .env.example .env

# Edit with your API token
echo "ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN=your_token_here" > .env

4. Run

# Run the server
mcp-veo

# Or with Python directly
python main.py

Claude Desktop Integration

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "veo": {
      "command": "mcp-veo",
      "env": {
        "ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or if using uv:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "veo": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/MCPVeo", "mcp-veo"],
      "env": {
        "ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Remote HTTP Mode (Hosted)

AceDataCloud hosts a managed MCP server that you can connect to directly — no local installation required.

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

All requests require a Bearer token in the Authorization header. Get your token from AceDataCloud Platform.

Claude Desktop (Remote)

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

Cursor / VS Code

In your MCP client settings, add:

• Type: streamable-http
• URL: https://veo.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp
• Headers: Authorization: Bearer your_api_token_here

cURL Test

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

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

Self-Hosting with Docker

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 and uses it for upstream API calls.
