Quick Start
1. Get Your API Token
- Sign up at AceDataCloud Platform
- Go to the API documentation page
- Click "Acquire" to get your API token
- Copy the token for use below
2. Use the Hosted Server (Recommended)
AceDataCloud hosts a managed MCP server — no local installation required.
Endpoint: https://midjourney.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:
- Go to Claude.ai Settings → Integrations → Add More
- Enter the server URL:
https://midjourney.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp - Complete the OAuth login flow
- Start using the tools in your conversation

cURL Test
# Health check (no auth required)
curl https://midjourney.mcp.acedata.cloud/health
# MCP initialize
curl -X POST https://midjourney.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-midjourney
# or
uvx mcp-midjourney
# Set your API token
export ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN="your_token_here"
# Run (stdio mode for Claude Desktop / local clients)
mcp-midjourney
# Run (HTTP mode for remote access)
mcp-midjourney --transport http --port 8000
Claude Desktop (Local)
{
"mcpServers": {
"midjourney": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-midjourney"],
"env": {
"ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
}
}
}
}
Docker (Self-Hosting)
docker pull ghcr.io/acedatacloud/mcp-midjourney:latest
docker run -p 8000:8000 ghcr.io/acedatacloud/mcp-midjourney:latest
Clients connect with their own Bearer token — the server extracts the token from each request's Authorization header.
