About

MCP server for Grok Imagine AI video generation

README

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 / Grok 3 family models, including vision (grok-2-vision) 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

Tools

Tool Description
grok_chat_completions Chat completion (reasoning / vision / tool calling) with Grok chat models.
grok_text_to_video Generate a video from a text prompt (model grok-imagine-video).
grok_image_to_video Generate a video from an input image (+ optional motion prompt).
grok_get_task Query the status/result of a single generation task.
grok_get_tasks_batch Query the status/result of multiple tasks at once.

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
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 .
