What is it?
MiniMax-MCP is the official Model Context Protocol server for MiniMax's generation APIs. It wraps them as MCP tools so any compatible client, such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf or OpenAI Agents, can generate speech from text, clone a voice from audio files, design a voice from a text prompt, and create images or videos from prompts.
The server runs over two transports: stdio for local use, where it reads local files and writes output to a directory, and SSE for deployment on a server, where URL inputs are recommended. It is installed and launched with uvx, and it needs a MiniMax API key whose region matches the API host (global or mainland China).
Video generation is asynchronous: a generate_video call starts a task, and query_video_generation retrieves the result. The project is a Python package released under the MIT license.
Key features
- 01Text-to-speech with selectable voices and a list_voices tool to browse them.
- 02Voice cloning from provided audio files and voice design from a text prompt.
- 03Text-to-image and text-to-video generation, including image-to-video inputs.
- 04Supports stdio for local clients and SSE for cloud deployment.
- 05Works with MCP clients such as Claude Desktop and Cursor via a simple JSON config.
Use cases
- Adding speech synthesis or voice cloning to an AI assistant running in Claude Desktop or Cursor.
- Generating images or short videos from prompts inside an agent workflow.
- Hosting a shared MCP server over SSE so a team's agents can call MiniMax generation tools.
