## Description
ByteDance Volcano Engine (Doubao) MCP server

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **doubao_generate** — Generate text using Doubao models (single-turn completion)
- **doubao_chat** — Multi-turn conversation with message history
- **doubao_embeddings** — Generate text embeddings for semantic search and RAG
- **doubao_list_models** — List available Doubao chat and embedding models

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Remote MCP endpoint (confidence: high). Install path detected from listing signals. Add as a URL/SSE server in your client:
