Claude Code MCP Tool Extension Guide

This is an overview article: Connect all 11 MCP Servers provided by AceData Cloud to Claude Code at once, enabling your terminal/IDE to conveniently generate images, write songs, create videos, search the web, and shorten links while coding.

This article addresses the question: "Claude Code is already usable, how to continue integrating MCP tools?" If you haven't configured Claude Code yet, please first see the Claude Code Configuration Tutorial.

Why Claude Code + MCP

Claude Code is Anthropic's official command-line AI programming assistant, already capable of coding, debugging, and refactoring. After connecting MCP, it can also:

  • Generate a product hero image while you write README
  • Produce a fitting BGM in seconds while recording tutorials
  • Perform real-time searches of the latest trends while writing technical blogs
  • Shorten key release note links when releasing versions

All of this happens entirely in the terminal, no window switching, no browser, no extra services.

One AceData Cloud Token = all 11 MCP Servers.

Step 1: Obtain API Token

  1. Open AceData Cloud Platform, supports GitHub, Google, WeChat, email, phone login; free quota upon registration
  2. After login, your API Token is visible on the homepage; click to copy

AceData Cloud Homepage Token

  1. If balance is low, go to Console → Recharge, supports Alipay, WeChat, Stripe

Step 2: Choose an Integration Method

Method A: One-Click Add via Command Line (Recommended)

Execute the following claude mcp add commands one by one in your terminal, replace 你的Token with the API Token copied in the previous step.

💡 Without -s, the default scope is local, effective only in the current directory. To enable for all projects, add -s user at the end of each command; to share with the team via project commits, add -s project (see Method B below). -H must be uppercase; lowercase -h is --help.

Only want to use some? Delete the commands you don't need. You can add more later anytime with claude mcp add <name> ....

Confirm it took effect:

claude mcp list

You should see 11 (or your subset) http type MCP Servers.

Method B: .mcp.json in Project

If you want the whole team to share the same MCP configuration (commit to Git), create a .mcp.json in the project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "suno": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://suno.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer 你的Token" }
    },
    "midjourney": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://midjourney.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer 你的Token" }
    },
    "flux": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://flux.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer 你的Token" }
    },
    "seedream": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://seedream.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer 你的Token" }
    },
    "nanobanana": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer 你的Token" }
    },
    "luma": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://luma.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer 你的Token" }
    },
    "sora": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://sora.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer 你的Token" }
    },
    "veo": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://veo.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer 你的Token" }
    },
    "seedance": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://seedance.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer 你的Token" }
    },
    "serp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://serp.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer 你的Token" }
    },
    "shorturl": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://shorturl.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer 你的Token" }
    }
  }
}

⚠️ Never commit real Tokens to public repos! Recommended: add .mcp.json to .gitignore and have team members fill in their own Tokens; or use ${ENV_VAR} placeholders + environment variables.

Practical Workflow Examples

Workflow 1: Automatic Promotional Video Production

Directly say in Claude Code:

Help me complete the following tasks:

  1. Use Suno to generate a 30-second upbeat BGM
  2. Use Midjourney to generate 3 product showcase images
  3. Use Luma to combine these images into a product promo video

Claude Code will sequentially call Suno → Midjourney → Luma, listing links after each step and automatically proceeding to the next.

Workflow 2: Technical Research + Content Creation

Help me:

  1. Use Google Search to find the latest AI video generation technology trends
  2. Write a technical blog outline based on the search results
  3. Use Flux to generate an illustration for the blog
  4. Use ShortURL to shorten key reference links

Workflow 3: Batch Production of Multi-Platform Materials

Help me batch generate a set of marketing materials:

  1. A brand theme song (Suno)
  2. A set of stylistically consistent promo images (Midjourney, 4 images)
  3. A 15-second brand video (Sora)
  4. A 9:16 vertical short video (Seedance)

Not Using Claude Code?

The same MCP URLs and Token can also be used directly in claude.ai web version / Claude Desktop — OAuth one-click integration, zero Token needed. See Using AceData Cloud MCP in Claude (Web + Desktop). Configuration formats (type / url / headers) are almost identical for clients like Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI, JetBrains, etc.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between Claude Code and Claude Desktop / claude.ai?
A: Claude Code is a pure command-line AI programming assistant running in your terminal/IDE, focused on coding + tool invocation; claude.ai web and Claude Desktop are conversational clients focused on chat + tool usage. All three use the same Anthropic account but have different MCP configuration methods.

Q: Where is the token stored after claude mcp add? Is it safe?
A: Stored locally in ~/.claude.json (macOS / Linux) or %USERPROFILE%\.claude.json (Windows). Only your machine can access it; it is not uploaded to Anthropic or AceData Cloud servers. It is recommended to exclude this file from system backups.

Q: Which has priority when project .mcp.json conflicts with global ~/.claude.json?
A: Project-level .mcp.json takes precedence over global, which is the standard practice for team-shared config + personal overrides.

Q: Single MCP Server not working?
A: First run claude mcp list to check if online; then claude mcp remove <name> and re-add with claude mcp add ...; finally check AceData Cloud balance. Detailed troubleshooting is in each service's individual tutorial.
