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
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.
