Convert text to audio with a given voice and save the output audio file to a given directory. If no directory is provided, the file will be saved to desktop. If no voice ID is provided, the default voice will be used. Note: This tool calls MiniMax API and may incur costs. Use only when explicitly requested by the user.

List all available voices. Only supported when api_host is https://api.minimax.chat.

Play an audio file. Supports WAV and MP3 formats. Does not support video.

Clone a voice using the provided audio file. New voices will incur costs when first used. Note: This tool calls MiniMax API and may incur costs. Use only when explicitly requested by the user.

Generate images based on text prompts. Note: This tool calls MiniMax API and may incur costs. Use only when explicitly requested by the user.

Generate a video based on text prompts. Note: This tool calls MiniMax API and may incur costs. Use only when explicitly requested by the user.

Generate a video based on an image. Note: This tool calls MiniMax API and may incur costs. Use only when explicitly requested by the user.

Query the status of a video generation task.

Overview

What is MiniMax MCP?

MiniMax MCP is the official Model Context Protocol server from MiniMax. It enables MCP clients (such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and OpenAI Agents) to interact with MiniMax's powerful Text-to-Speech, voice cloning, video generation, and image generation APIs. It is designed for developers who want to integrate MiniMax's generative AI capabilities into their tools.

How to use MiniMax MCP?

Obtain an API key from MiniMax and install uv (Python package manager). Configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop or Cursor) with the required environment variables: MINIMAX_API_KEY, MINIMAX_MCP_BASE_PATH, MINIMAX_API_HOST (region-specific), and optionally MINIMAX_API_RESOURCE_MODE. After setup, the client can invoke any of the eight available tools.

FAQ from MiniMax MCP

Why do I get an "invalid api key" error?

This occurs when your API key and API host are not regionally aligned. Use https://api.minimax.io for Global keys and https://api.minimaxi.com for Mainland China keys.

What does "spawn uvx ENOENT" mean?

It means uvx is not in your PATH. Run which uvx to find its absolute path (e.g., /usr/local/bin/uvx) and update your MCP client configuration to use that path.

How do I use generate_video in async mode?

You must define completion rules either in a dedicated cursor rule file or in your IDE settings (e.g., Cursor) before starting the video generation task.

What transport types does MiniMax MCP support?

It supports both stdio (local, communicates via stdout, can process local files or URLs) and SSE (can be deployed locally or in the cloud, communicates over network, recommended for cloud deployment with URL inputs).

What runtime and dependencies are required?

You need Python and uv (Python package manager). The server is run via uvx minimax-mcp -y. No other explicit runtime requirements are stated.
