[![MCP](https://img.shields.io/badge/MCP-Compatible-green.svg)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io)

A [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server for AI video generation using [ByteDance Seedance](https://seedance.ai) through the [AceDataCloud API](https://platform.acedata.cloud).

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

## Features

- **Text to Video** - Create AI-generated videos from text prompts
- **Image to Video** - Animate images with first frame, last frame, and reference image control
- **Multiple Models** - Support for Seedance 1.5 Pro, 1.0 Pro, 1.0 Pro Fast, 1.0 Lite T2V/I2V
- **Multiple Resolutions** - 480p, 720p (default), and 1080p output
- **Flexible Aspect Ratios** - 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9, and adaptive
- **Audio Generation** - Generate synchronized audio for videos (1.5 Pro)
- **Service Tiers** - Default (priority) and Flex (cost-effective) processing
- **Task Tracking** - Monitor generation progress and retrieve results

## Quick Start

### 1. Get API Token

Get your API token from [AceDataCloud Platform](https://platform.acedata.cloud):

1. Sign up or log in
2. Navigate to [Seedance Videos API](https://platform.acedata.cloud/documents/0083b874-4da6-40df-87e3-835b1300c1e8)
3. Click "Acquire" to get your token

### 2. Install

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/AceDataCloud/MCPSeedance.git
cd MCPSeedance

# Install with pip
pip install -e .

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

### 3. Configure

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

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

### 4. Run

```bash
# Run the server
mcp-seedance

# 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`

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "seedance": {
      "command": "mcp-seedance",
      "env": {
        "ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Or if using uv:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "seedance": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/mcp-seedance", "mcp-seedance"],
      "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://seedance.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp`

All requests require a Bearer token in the `Authorization` header. Get your token from [AceDataCloud Platform](https://platform.acedata.cloud).

### Claude Desktop (Remote)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "seedance": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://seedance.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://seedance.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp`
- **Headers**: `Authorization: Bearer your_api_token_here`

### JetBrains IDEs

Install the [Seedance MCP plugin](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/com.acedatacloud.mcp.seedance) from the JetBrains Marketplace, or configure manually:

1. Go to **Settings → Tools → AI Assistant → Model Context Protocol (MCP)**
2. Click **Add** and select **HTTP**
3. Paste this configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "seedance": {
      "url": "https://seedance.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer your_api_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### cURL Test

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

# MCP initialize (requires Bearer token)
curl -X POST https://seedance.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

```bash
docker pull ghcr.io/acedatacloud/mcp-seedance:latest
docker run -p 8000:8000 ghcr.io/acedatacloud/mcp-seedance: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.
