Quick Start

1. Get API Token

Get your API token from AceDataCloud Platform:

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

2. Install

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/AceDataCloud/mcp-luma.git
cd mcp-luma

# 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-luma

# 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": {
    "luma": {
      "command": "mcp-luma",
      "env": {
        "ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or if using uv:

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

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

Claude Desktop (Remote)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "luma": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://luma.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://luma.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp
• Headers: Authorization: Bearer your_api_token_here

JetBrains IDEs

Install the Luma MCP plugin 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:

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

cURL Test

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

# MCP initialize (requires Bearer token)
curl -X POST https://luma.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-luma:latest
docker run -p 8000:8000 ghcr.io/acedatacloud/mcp-luma: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.
