MCP Server for Luma AI Video Generation via AceDataCloud API

MCP Luma

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI video generation using Luma Dream Machine through the AceDataCloud API.

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 start/end frame control
• Video Extension - Extend existing videos with additional content
• Multiple Aspect Ratios - Support for 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, and more
• Loop Videos - Create seamlessly looping animations
• Clarity Enhancement - Optional video quality enhancement
• Task Tracking - Monitor generation progress and retrieve results

Quick Start

1. Get Your API Token

1. Sign up at AceDataCloud Platform
2. Go to the API documentation page
3. Click "Acquire" to get your API token
4. Copy the token for use below

2. Use the Hosted Server (Recommended)

AceDataCloud hosts a managed MCP server — no local installation required.

Endpoint: https://luma.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp

All requests require a Bearer token. Use the API token from Step 1.

Claude Desktop

Add to your config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "luma": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://luma.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor / Windsurf

Add to your MCP config (.cursor/mcp.json or .windsurf/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "luma": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://luma.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add to your VS Code MCP config (.vscode/mcp.json):

{
  "servers": {
    "luma": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://luma.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or install the Ace Data Cloud MCP extension for VS Code, which bundles all 11 MCP servers with one-click setup.

JetBrains IDEs

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

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

cURL Test

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

# MCP initialize
curl -X POST https://luma.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}'

3. Or Run Locally (Alternative)

If you prefer to run the server on your own machine:

# Install from PyPI
pip install mcp-luma
# or
uvx mcp-luma

# Set your API token
export ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN="your_token_here"

# Run (stdio mode for Claude Desktop / local clients)
mcp-luma

# Run (HTTP mode for remote access)
mcp-luma --transport http --port 8000

Claude Desktop (Local)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "luma": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-luma"],
      "env": {
        "ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Docker (Self-Hosting)

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.
