{
  "mcpServers": {
    "suno":       { "httpUrl": "https://suno.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",       "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer yourToken" } },
    "midjourney": { "httpUrl": "https://midjourney.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer yourToken" } },
    "flux":       { "httpUrl": "https://flux.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",       "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer yourToken" } },
    "seedream":   { "httpUrl": "https://seedream.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",   "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer yourToken" } },
    "nanobanana": { "httpUrl": "https://nanobanana.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer yourToken" } },
    "luma":       { "httpUrl": "https://luma.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",       "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer yourToken" } },
    "sora":       { "httpUrl": "https://sora.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",       "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer yourToken" } },

    "shorturl":   { "httpUrl": "https://shorturl.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",   "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer yourToken" } }
  }
}

After saving, all MCP Servers will be automatically mounted the next time you start gemini.

Step 3: Give it a try

After the configuration is complete, restart the editor / CLI to reload the MCP Server. Then you can use it like this:

Example 1 (After finishing the demo project, easily generate a hero image):

Use Seedream to generate a display image for "Gemini CLI Developer Tools," in a flat illustration style with a bright background.

Example 2 (Search Google resources):

Use Serp's google_search to search for the top 3 GitHub projects for "Gemini CLI extensions."

Example 3 (Generate product demo video):

Use Veo to generate a 5-second video: a robot cat coding in front of a computer, with the screen displaying the word "gemini," in 1080p.

Billing and Quotas

  • Pay-per-use, no charges if not called, no monthly fees, no minimum consumption.
  • The same Token shares the quota across all MCP Servers.
  • All call records, remaining quotas, and consumption details can be viewed in the console.
  • For large usage needs, please contact sales for bulk pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I only connect to some of the MCP Servers?
A: Of course, just add the configuration as needed, and do not add those that are not used.

Q: Is there a cheaper way to connect?
A: Directly calling the REST API is cheaper than MCP (one less layer of encapsulation), but you lose the convenience of MCP in LLM tool calls.

Q: What about overseas / cross-border latency issues?
A: All MCP Servers are deployed in Hong Kong, with stable global access; direct connection from mainland China does not require a proxy.

Q: Is self-hosting supported?
A: All MCP Servers are open source on GitHub and can be deployed by yourself.
