Claude Code MCP Overview
Claude Code is adept at reading code, modifying files, running commands, and explaining errors; MCP allows it to continue calling external tools within the same terminal session. Ace Data Cloud has made capabilities like music, images, videos, search, and short links into a managed remote MCP Server, so you don't need to start services locally or maintain different accounts for each tool.
This article serves as an overview entry, focusing on helping you determine: what Claude Code MCP can do, which service to connect to first, and where to find detailed tutorials for each service. Specific commands, token acquisition, and the differences between the local, user, and project scopes will be elaborated in the individual service articles below.
If your Claude Code cannot call the model normally, please first refer to the Claude Code API Integration Guide. If you are using the claude.ai web version or Claude Desktop, please refer to the Claude.ai / Desktop MCP Complete Guide.
¶ Why Connect MCP in Claude Code
Many development tasks do not stop at the code itself. After writing a feature, you may also need to supplement README images, create product demos, research competitor information, shorten links for release notes, and add background music to tutorial videos. In the past, these actions would typically pull you out of the terminal: opening a browser, logging into another platform, copying results, and then returning to the editor.
With MCP integration, Claude Code can turn these actions into a single task chain: first understanding your project context, then calling the appropriate remote tools, and finally organizing the generated results, links, and next-step suggestions. It does not replace the model capabilities of Claude Code but adds a set of callable tool arms for the programming agent.
¶ What MCP Servers Does Ace Data Cloud Provide
One Ace Data Cloud API Token can access all the following MCP Servers. You can connect to just one or combine multiple according to your workflow.

| Seedream | AI Art | Chinese prompt image generation, product images, posters, image editing | View Tutorial |
| NanoBanana | AI Image Editing | Product background change, virtual fitting, character/object consistency editing | View Tutorial |
| Luma | AI Video | Text-to-video, image-to-video, video extension, frame control | View Tutorial |
| Veo | AI Video | Google Veo videos, native audio, 1080p / 4K | View Tutorial |
| Seedance | AI Video | Action videos, short videos, voiceovers, vertical material | View Tutorial |
| Google Search | Real-time Search | Google web, images, news, maps, video search | View Tutorial |
| ShortURL | Efficiency Tool | Long link to short link, batch short links, share link organization | View Tutorial |
¶ Recommended Selection
If you just want to confirm that MCP works, it is recommended to start with Google Search MCP or ShortURL MCP: quick calls, intuitive results, and low cost. When creating content and marketing materials, you can choose one image service from Flux / Seedream / NanoBanana; when video is needed, connect Luma / Veo / Seedance; and for music or BGM, connect Suno.
If you are writing a tutorial or release notes, a common combination is: first use Google Search MCP to gather information, then use Flux or Seedream to generate a cover image, and finally use ShortURL to organize the reference links into short links. If you are creating product release materials, you can string together Suno, Flux, and Luma, allowing Claude Code to organize everything from copy, images, videos to links at once.
¶ Where to View Configuration
Each individual service article contains the same set of executable configuration instructions:
- How to obtain the Ace Data Cloud API Token as per the Claude Code VS Code tutorial
- The actual command format for
claude mcp add - Where to write the
local,user, andprojectscopes, and when to use them - Verification results from running
claude mcp listwith a desensitized token
The configuration examples will not display the complete token but will show it in a format like YOUR_ACEDATACLOUD_API_KEY. Please keep the real token only in your local configuration or private environment variables.
¶ Verify Connection
After configuration, run:
claude mcp list
If the target service shows ✓ Connected, it indicates a successful handshake. If it fails, check the token, service URL, and configuration scope; do not rely on historical client versions or fixed service counts to determine the current status.
¶ Common Workflows
¶ Technical Research + Image Generation
Let Claude Code first use Google Search MCP to check the latest information, then organize the conclusions into a blog outline, and finally use Flux or Seedream to generate images. Suitable for technical blogs, product updates, and competitor analysis.
¶ Release Material Production
Let Claude Code generate visual materials based on README, CHANGELOG, or landing page copy by calling Flux / Seedream, and then use ShortURL to organize release links. Suitable for Product Hunt, Twitter, and community posts.
¶ Video and Music Materials
Let Claude Code first generate a short BGM using Suno, and then generate videos using Luma / Veo / Seedance. Suitable for tutorial intros, feature previews, and short video platform materials.
¶ Next Steps
Select a service from the table above to enter the individual tutorial and first run it with the local scope. After confirming that claude mcp list shows ✓ Connected, decide whether to upgrade to user global configuration or use project scope for team sharing.
