This server allows MCP clients like <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/claude">Claude Desktop</a>, <a href="https://www.cursor.so">Cursor</a>, <a href="https://codeium.com/windsurf">Windsurf</a>, <a href="https://github.com/openai/openai-agents-python">OpenAI Agents</a> and others to generate speech, clone voices, generate video, generate image and more. </p> ## Documentation - [中文文档](README-CN.md) - [MiniMax-MCP-JS](https://github.com/MiniMax-AI/MiniMax-MCP-JS) - Official JavaScript implementation of MiniMax MCP ## Quickstart with MCP Client 1. Get your API key from [MiniMax](https://www.minimax.io/platform/user-center/basic-information/interface-key). 2. Install `uv` (Python package manager), install with `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh` or see the `uv` [repo](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) 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. |Region| Global | Mainland | |:--|:-----|:-----| |MINIMAX_API_KEY| go get from [MiniMax Global](https://www.minimax.io/platform/user-center/basic-information/interface-key) | go get from [MiniMax](https://platform.minimaxi.com/user-center/basic-information/interface-key) | |MINIMAX_API_HOST| https://api.minimaxi.chat (note the extra **"i"**) | https://api.minimax.chat | ### 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. | stdio | SSE | |:-----|:-----| | Run locally | Can be deployed locally or in the cloud | | Communication through `stdout` | Communication through `network` | | Input: Supports processing `local files` or valid `URL` resources | Input: When deployed in the cloud, it is recommended to use `URL` for input | ## Available Tools | tool | description | |-|-| |`text_to_audio`|Convert text to audio with a given voice| |`list_voices`|List all voices available| |`voice_clone`|Clone a voice using provided audio files| |`generate_video`|Generate a video from a prompt| |`text_to_image`|Generate a image from a prompt| |`query_video_generation`|Query the result of video generation task| ## FAQ ### 1. invalid api key Please ensure your API key and API host are regionally aligned |Region| Global | Mainland | |:--|:-----|:-----| |MINIMAX_API_KEY| go get from [MiniMax Global](https://www.minimax.io/platform/user-center/basic-information/interface-key) | go get from [MiniMax](https://platform.minimaxi.com/user-center/basic-information/interface-key) | |MINIMAX_API_HOST| https://api.minimaxi.chat (note the extra **"i"**) | https://api.minimax.chat | ### 2. spawn uvx ENOENT Please confirm its absolute path by running this command in your terminal: ```sh 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: <img src="https://public-cdn-video-data-algeng.oss-cn-wulanchabu.aliyuncs.com/cursor_rule2.png?x-oss-process=image/resize,p_50/format,webp" style="display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle;"/> Alternatively, these rules can be configured in your IDE settings (e.g., Cursor): <img src="https://public-cdn-video-data-algeng.oss-cn-wulanchabu.aliyuncs.com/cursor_video_rule.png?x-oss-process=image/resize,p_50/format,webp" style="display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle;"/> ## Example usage ⚠️ Warning: Using these tools may incur costs. ### 1. broadcast a segment of the evening news <img src="https://public-cdn-video-data-algeng.oss-cn-wulanchabu.aliyuncs.com/Snipaste_2025-04-09_20-07-53.png?x-oss-process=image/resize,p_50/format,webp" style="display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle;"/> ### 2. clone a voice <img src="https://public-cdn-video-data-algeng.oss-cn-wulanchabu.aliyuncs.com/Snipaste_2025-04-09_19-45-13.png?x-oss-process=image/resize,p_50/format,webp" style="display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle;"/> ### 3. generate a video <img src="https://public-cdn-video-data-algeng.oss-cn-wulanchabu.aliyuncs.com/Snipaste_2025-04-09_19-58-52.png?x-oss-process=image/resize,p_50/format,webp" style="display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle;"/> <img src="https://public-cdn-video-data-algeng.oss-cn-wulanchabu.aliyuncs.com/Snipaste_2025-04-09_19-59-43.png?x-oss-process=image/resize,p_50/format,webp" style="display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle; "/> ### 4. generate images <img src="https://public-cdn-video-data-algeng.oss-cn-wulanchabu.aliyuncs.com/gen_image.png?x-oss-process=image/resize,p_50/format,webp" style="display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle;"/> <img src="https://public-cdn-video-data-algeng.oss-cn-wulanchabu.aliyuncs.com/gen_image1.png?x-oss-process=image/resize,p_50/format,webp" style="display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle; "/>
