Source code Documentation

What can you do with io.github.ExpertVagabond/volcengine?

  • Chinese language tasks -- Doubao excels at Chinese NLP
  • Low-latency inference -- Doubao Flash for real-time applications
  • Deep reasoning -- Doubao Thinking for complex analysis
  • Cost-effective bulk processing -- Doubao Lite for high-volume tasks
  • Semantic search and RAG -- Doubao embeddings (2560 dimensions)

Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

NPM package volcengine-mcp
Claude Code 
claude mcp add volcengine -- npx -y volcengine-mcp@1.0.1
JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code) 
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "volcengine": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "volcengine-mcp@1.0.1"
            ]
