The video model produced by ByteDance excels in dance, sports, and coherent motion, supporting vertical 9:16 short videos. After integrating MCP with Gemini CLI, it can be called directly in the conversation without switching windows or copying and pasting.

Obtain API Token

Register an account on the AceData Cloud platform and copy the API Token from the homepage—one Token is sufficient to use all 11 MCP Servers. For detailed steps, see the Complete Guide.
