Environment variable support for API keys
Detailed error handling and reporting
🔧 Prerequisites
Node.js (v16 or higher)
TypeScript (v5.3.3 or higher)
Claude Desktop (latest version)
AIML API Key
Windows/Linux/macOS operating system
📦 Installation
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp-minimax-music-server.git cd mcp-minimax-music-serverInstall dependencies:
npm installBuild the server:
npm run build
⚙️ Configuration
Claude Desktop Configuration
Locate your Claude Desktop configuration file:
Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.jsonLinux:
~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonmacOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Add the following configuration:
{ "mcpServers": { "minimax-music-server": { "command": "node", "args": [ "G:\\mcp-minimax-music-server\\build\\index.js" ], "env": { "AIML_API_KEY": "Bearer your-aiml-api-key-here" } } } }⚠️ Important:
Replace the path with your actual server path
Add "Bearer " prefix to your API key
Use double backslashes in Windows paths
API Key Setup
Your AIML API key can be configured in two ways:
Environment Variables (Recommended)
Set in Claude Desktop config as shown above
Prefix with "Bearer " (include the space)
Example:
"AIML_API_KEY": "Bearer 3d90d64a000c4e6eb02df7e52d2166d2"
Direct Configuration
Pass the API key directly in the generation request
Less secure, but useful for testing
🚀 Usage
Basic Usage
The server provides a tool called generate_audio with the following parameters:
prompt(required): Text prompt for audio generationmodel(optional): Set to "minimax-music"reference_audio_url(optional): URL of reference audiogeneration_id(optional): ID from previous generation for status checking
Example Commands
Start new generation:
Generate audio with prompt "Create a romantic love song with gentle acoustic guitar and soft vocals"Check generation status:
Generate audio with generation_id "abc123" and prompt "Check status"
Response Format
📚 API Reference
MiniMax Music Model
The server uses the MiniMax Music model which:
Specializes in music generation
Requires reference audio for style matching
Supports lyric generation with ## delimiters
Generates high-quality musical output
Generation Process
Step 1: Submit Generation
Send prompt and parameters
Receive generation ID
Step 2: Check Status
Poll status using generation ID
Download audio when complete
🔍 Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Authentication Errors (401)
Verify API key format (should start with "Bearer ")
Check API key validity
Ensure correct configuration in
claude_desktop_config.json
Path Issues
Use correct path format for your OS
Windows: Use double backslashes
Verify build directory exists
Generation Errors
Check prompt format (should be wrapped in ##...## for lyrics)
Ensure reference audio URL is accessible
Verify prompt length and content
Debug Steps
Rebuild the server:
npm run buildRestart Claude Desktop
Check server logs for errors
