Volcengine

Connects Claude to ByteDance's Volcano Engine (Doubao) LLM platform through the Ark API. You get four tools: single-turn text generation, multi-turn chat with history, text embeddings for semantic search, and model listing. Ships with access to Doubao Pro, Lite, and Seed model families, including specialized variants like Flash for low latency and Thinking for complex reasoning. The embedding models output 2560-dimensional vectors. Requires a Volcano Ark API key and real-name authentication since it's a Chinese cloud service. Reach for this when you need Chinese language processing, want cost-effective alternatives to Western LLMs, or are building RAG systems that need high-quality Chinese embeddings.
