## Quick Start

### 1. Get Your API Token

1. Sign up at [AceDataCloud Platform](https://platform.acedata.cloud)
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://hailuo.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp`

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

#### Claude.ai

Connect directly on [Claude.ai](https://claude.ai) with OAuth — **no API token needed**:

1. Go to Claude.ai **Settings → Integrations → Add More**
2. Enter the server URL: `https://hailuo.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp`
3. Complete the OAuth login flow
4. Start using the tools in your conversation

#### Claude Desktop

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

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

#### Cursor / Windsurf

      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }

#### cURL Test

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

# MCP initialize
curl -X POST https://hailuo.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:

```bash
# Install from PyPI
pip install mcp-hailuo
# or
uvx mcp-hailuo

# Set your API token
export ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN="your_token_here"

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

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

#### Claude Desktop (Local)

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

#### Docker (Self-Hosting)

```bash
docker pull ghcr.io/acedatacloud/mcp-hailuo:latest
docker run -p 8000:8000 ghcr.io/acedatacloud/mcp-hailuo:latest
```

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