Minimax MCP Server

中文版

Official MiniMax Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables interaction with powerful Text to Speech and video/image generation APIs. This server allows MCP clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenAI Agents and others to generate speech, clone voices, generate video, generate image and more.

Quickstart with MCP Client

1. Get your API key from MiniMax.
2. Install uv (Python package manager), install with curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh or see the uv repo for additional install methods.

Claude Desktop

Go to Claude > Settings > Developer > Edit Config > claude_desktop_config.json to include the following:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "MiniMax": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "minimax-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MINIMAX_API_KEY": "<insert-your-api-key-here>",
        "MINIMAX_MCP_BASE_PATH": "<local-output-dir-path>",
        "MINIMAX_API_HOST": "https://api.minimaxi.chat",
        "MINIMAX_API_RESOURCE_MODE": "<optional, [url|local], url is default, audio/image/video are downloaded locally or provided in URL format>"
      }
    }
  }
}

⚠️ Warning: The API key needs to match the host. If an error "API Error: invalid api key" occurs, please check your api host:

• Global Host：​https://api.minimaxi.chat (note the extra "i")
• Mainland Host：​https://api.minimax.chat

If you're using Windows, you will have to enable "Developer Mode" in Claude Desktop to use the MCP server. Click "Help" in the hamburger menu in the top left and select "Enable Developer Mode".

Cursor

Go to Cursor -> Preferences -> Cursor Settings -> MCP -> Add new global MCP Server to add above config.
