MiniMax MCP Server

Content

MiniMax MCP Server is the official Python MCP server for MiniMax generation APIs. It lets Claude and other MCP clients call MiniMax tools for text-to-speech, voice listing, voice cloning, voice design, image generation, video generation, video-generation status checks, music generation, and audio playback.

Use it when a workflow needs agent-assisted media generation through a MiniMax account while keeping API keys and generated assets under explicit operational controls. It is especially useful for prototyping voice, image, video, and short music assets from Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or other MCP-capable clients.

Features

• Convert text to speech with MiniMax voices.
• List available system and voice-cloning voices.
• Clone a voice from local audio files or audio URLs.
• Design a voice from a prompt and preview text.
• Generate images from prompts.
• Generate videos from prompts or first-frame images, including async task handling.
• Query video-generation task status.
• Generate short music from prompts and lyrics.
• Return generated media as URLs or save media locally depending on resource mode.

Installation

Configure the MCP server with a MiniMax API key and the matching regional API host:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "minimax": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["minimax-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "MINIMAX_API_KEY": "insert-your-api-key-here",
        "MINIMAX_API_HOST": "https://api.minimax.io",
        "MINIMAX_API_RESOURCE_MODE": "url"
      }
    }
  }
}

Use https://api.minimax.io for the Global host or the Mainland host documented in the upstream README when using a Mainland API key. Restart the MCP client after adding the server.

Use Cases

• Ask Claude to draft and generate narration audio for a prototype.
• Clone an approved voice sample for internal review workflows.
• Generate concept images or short video clips from prompt iterations.
• Query a pending MiniMax video-generation task from the MCP client.
• Generate short music drafts from a prompt and lyrics.
• Return media as URLs for review or save outputs under a controlled local base path.

Safety and Privacy

MiniMax MCP Server can spend API credits and send prompts, audio, images, video frames, lyrics, and generated-media requests to MiniMax services. Keep the MCP server disabled for users who are not authorized to use the account, and review outputs before publishing or sending to customers.

Voice cloning and voice design require special care. Use only audio and voice descriptions where consent, rights, and internal approval are clear, and avoid creating voice likenesses that could mislead listeners.

Keep the API key out of committed config files. If local output mode is enabled, review the base path and file-retention policy because generated media files and paths can reveal project context or workstation details.
