  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.
  3. Important: The API host and key vary by region and must match; otherwise, you'll encounter an Invalid API key error.

Claude Desktop

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

{ "mcpServers": { "MiniMax": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "minimax-mcp", "-y" ], "env": { "MINIMAX_API_KEY": "insert-your-api-key-here", "MINIMAX_MCP_BASE_PATH": "local-output-dir-path, such as /User/xxx/Desktop", "MINIMAX_API_HOST": "api host, https://api.minimaxi.chat|https://api.minimax.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.

That's it. Your MCP client can now interact with MiniMax through these tools:

Transport

We support two transport types: stdio and sse.

stdioSSE
Run locallyCan be deployed locally or in the cloud
Communication through stdoutCommunication through network

2. spawn uvx ENOENT

Please confirm its absolute path by running this command in your terminal:

which uvx

Once you obtain the absolute path (e.g., /usr/local/bin/uvx), update your configuration to use that path (e.g., "command": "/usr/local/bin/uvx").

3. How to use generate_video in async-mode

Define completion rules before starting: Alternatively, these rules can be configured in your IDE settings (e.g., Cursor):

Example usage

⚠️ Warning: Using these tools may incur costs.

1. broadcast a segment of the evening news
