  3. Click "Acquire" to get your API token

  4. Copy the token for use below

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

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

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

Claude.ai

Connect directly on Claude.ai with OAuth — no API token needed:

  1. Go to Claude.ai Settings → Integrations → Add More

  2. Enter the server URL: https://flux.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp

  3. Complete the OAuth login flow

  4. Start using the tools in your conversation

cURL Test

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

# MCP initialize
curl -X POST https://flux.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-flux-pro
# or
uvx mcp-flux-pro

# Set your API token
export ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN="your_token_here"

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

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

Claude Desktop (Local)

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

Docker (Self-Hosting)

docker pull ghcr.io/acedatacloud/mcp-flux-pro:latest
docker run -p 8000:8000 ghcr.io/acedatacloud/mcp-flux-pro:latest

Clients connect with their own Bearer token — the server extracts the token from each request's Authorization header.
