Introducing A2E MCP Server: Enabling AI-Avatar Functions for Vibe Coding
A2E.ai, a pioneer in AI-driven avatar generation, announces a paradigm shift in developer tooling with its new Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server – a proprietary technology that enables AI coding assistants to automate code creation for complex AI avatar systems through deep API understanding.
Our MCP Server, powered by apidog, establishes a dynamic bridge between:
- AI Coding Tools (LLM-powered IDEs)
- A2E’s Avatar Generation API Ecosystem
- Project-Specific Implementation Requirements
This neural conduit enables autonomous code generation that respects both platform capabilities and project constraints
Activating A2E MCP in Your Workflow
Prerequisites
Node.js (version 18 or higher, preferably the latest LTS version).An IDE that supports MCP, such as: Cursor, or VS Code + Cline plugin
Configure the IDE
Copy the following JSON configuration code to add to the MCP configuration file in your IDE:
{
"mcpServers": {
"A2E - API Specification": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"apidog-mcp-server@latest",
"--site-id=746061"
]
}
}
}If you’re on Windows and the configuration file above isn’t working, try using the configuration file below instead:
{
"mcpServers": {
"A2E - API Specification": {
"command": "cmd",
"args": [
"/c",
"npx",
"-y",
"apidog-mcp-server@latest",
"--site-id=746061"
]
}
}
}A Cursor Example
Following the steps in the previous section to enable the A2E MCP server in Cursor. Then create an empty python file. Send a request to Cursor for “write a sample code to list all avatars of A2E and generate a video of a random publich figure” . Here is the code AI writes within 5 seconds:
import os
import random
import requests

# Make API request to get avatars
response = requests.get("https://api.a2e.ai/v1/avatars")
response.raise_for_status()
# Parse JSON response
avatars = response.json()
print(f"Found {len(avatars)} avatars:")
for i, avatar in enumerate(avatars):
print(f"{i+1}. {avatar['name']} (ID: {avatar['id']})")
return avatars

print(f"Error fetching avatars: {str(e)}")

def generate_public_figure_video(prompt=None, output_path="./generated_video.mp4"):
