MiniMax MCP server is officially maintained, offers multimodal generation capabilities, easy setup, but requires attention to API key region alignment and potential costs.
The MiniMax MCP server is the official Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation by MiniMax, allowing MCP clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and OpenAI Agents to interact with MiniMax's AI generation APIs. It supports text-to-speech, voice cloning, text-to-image, text-to-video (with async query), music generation, and voice design.
Tools
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 an image from a prompt.
query_video_generation
Query the result of a video generation task.
music_generation
Generate a music track from a prompt and lyrics.
voice_design
Generate a voice from a prompt using preview text.
Setup
- Obtain an API key from MiniMax (note regional differences). 2. Install uv (Python package manager). 3. Configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) by adding the server config to claude_desktop_config.json.

Fit and risk
Not for
- Users who do not need AI generation features
- Users without a valid API key
- Users who want offline operation or different models
Required permissions
- Requires a valid MiniMax API key
- May incur API usage costs
- Can read local files or URL resources as input
Risks and side effects
- API key mismatch or region mismatch can cause 'invalid api key' errors
- Usage may incur costs
- Generated content may be subject to copyright and ethical limitations
Troubleshooting
- Check that your API key and host are regionally aligned (Global: api.minimax.io, Mainland: api.minimaxi.com)
- If 'spawn uvx ENOENT' occurs, confirm the absolute path of uvx and update the config
- Define completion rules when using async video generation
