AceDataCloud Grok

PyPI version Python License: MIT

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Grok (xAI) — chat/reasoning/vision and Grok Imagine video generation, powered by the AceDataCloud API.

Chat with Grok models, or generate short AI videos from a text prompt or a still image — directly from any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.).

Features

• Chat / Reasoning / Vision — Talk to Grok 4.5 / Grok 4 / Grok 3 models, with image input and tool calling
• Text to Video — Generate a video clip from a text description
• Image to Video — Animate a reference image into a video
• Async task tracking — Submit a job, poll for the result, single or batch
• stdio & HTTP transports — Local stdio for desktop clients, HTTP for remote hosting

prompt	both	Text description (required for text-to-video)
image_url	image-to-video	Input image URL (required for -1.5-preview)
reference_image_urls	image-to-video	Optional list of style/content reference images
aspect_ratio	both	1:1, 16:9 (default), 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, 2:3
resolution	both	480p (default), 720p, 1080p
duration	both	grok-imagine-video-1.5-fast:reverse: 6–30s; other models: 1–15s (default 6)
callback_url	both	Optional async webhook

Installation

Via uvx (recommended)

uvx mcp-grok

Via pip

pip install mcp-grok
mcp-grok

Configuration

Set your AceDataCloud API token (get one at https://platform.acedata.cloud):

export ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN=your_api_token_here

Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add to your MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json or .mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "grok": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-grok"],
      "env": {
        "ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Remote (HTTP)

A hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint is available at:

https://grok.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp

Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Default
ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN	API token (required)	—
ACEDATACLOUD_API_BASE_URL	API base URL	https://api.acedata.cloud
GROK_DEFAULT_MODEL	Default model	grok-imagine-video-1.5-fast:reverse
GROK_REQUEST_TIMEOUT	Request timeout (seconds)	180
MCP_SERVER_NAME	MCP server name	grok
MCP_TRANSPORT	Transport mode (stdio/http)	stdio
LOG_LEVEL	Logging level	INFO

Usage Notes

• Generation is asynchronous: the generation tools return a task_id quickly. Poll with grok_get_task(task_id) until the state is succeeded and the video_url is available.
• Generation typically takes ~30 seconds to a few minutes.
• Keep resolution at 480p and duration short for faster, cheaper iterations.

Development

pip install -e ".[dev,test]"
pytest --cov=core --cov=tools
ruff check .
