Official MiniMax Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables interaction with powerful Text to Speech and video/image generation APIs. This
Minimax mcp mcp server lets Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients work with MiniMax MCP directly. Official MiniMax Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables interaction with powerful Text to Speech and video/image generation APIs. This server allows MCP clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenAI Agents and others to generate speech, clone voices, generate video, generate image.

Once connected, the assistant can call these 6 tools directly:
text_to_audio — Convert text to audio with a given voicelist_voices — List all voices availablevoice_clone — Clone a voice using provided audio filesgenerate_video — Generate a video from a prompttext_to_image — Generate a image from a promptCursor — Go to Cursor -> Preferences -> Cursor Settings -> MCP -> Add new global MCP Server to add above configSetup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.
Before the server will start you need to supply 4 environment variables: MINIMAX_API_KEY, MINIMAX_MCP_BASE_PATH, MINIMAX_API_HOST, MINIMAX_API_RESOURCE_MODE. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
AI-service servers chain other models into your assistant, turning a single chat into a small production pipeline. MiniMax MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — text_to_audio, list_voices, voice_clone among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other ai services servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
| Tool | What it does |
