## Intro

Official MiniMax Model Context Protocol server exposing media-generation tools (audio, image, video, music); verified 1474★, pushed 2026-05-14.

**Best for:** Teams integrating MiniMax media models via structured MCP tool calls

**Works with:** Claude Desktop and Cursor MCP settings; uses stdio/SSE transports per README

**Setup time:** 8-18 minutes

### Key facts (verified)

- GitHub: 1474 stars · 261 forks · pushed 2026-05-14.
- License: MIT · owner avatar + repo URL verified via GitHub API.
- README-backed entrypoint: `uvx minimax-mcp`.

## Main

- Pick the right region host: README warns API key must match `MINIMAX_API_HOST` (global vs mainland).

- Start with stdio locally, then consider SSE when you want to deploy and share the server across machines.

- Treat tool calls as costed operations: README warns that using tools may incur costs—add guardrails and budgeting.

- Use the tool table as your contract: map each tool to a prompt template so agents call it consistently.

### Source-backed notes

- README provides configuration examples for Claude Desktop and Cursor MCP settings, including env vars.
- README lists available tools such as `text_to_audio`, `text_to_image`, `generate_video`, and `music_generation`.
- Repo is MIT licensed (verified via GitHub API).

### FAQ

- **Do I need a MiniMax API key?**: Yes—README config includes `MINIMAX_API_KEY` and a region-matched host.
- **Which transport should I use?**: README describes stdio (local) and SSE (network) transports; start with stdio for local use.
- **Will this cost money?**: README warns that tool usage may incur costs; check MiniMax platform pricing for your region.

## Quick Use

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "minimax": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["minimax-mcp"],
      "env": {

## Intro

MiniMax-MCP 是 MiniMax 官方 MCP server，提供音频/图片/视频/音乐等生成工具接口；适合在 Claude/Cursor 中以工具方式调用；已验证 1474★，更新于 2026-05-14。

**Best for:** 希望用结构化 MCP 工具调用接入 MiniMax 多模态能力的团队

**Works with:** Claude Desktop 与 Cursor 的 MCP 设置；README 说明支持 stdio/SSE

**Setup time:** 8-18 minutes

### Key facts (verified)

- GitHub：1474 stars · 261 forks；最近更新 2026-05-14。
- 许可证：MIT；作者头像与仓库链接均已通过 GitHub API 复核。
- README 中可对照的入口：`uvx minimax-mcp`。

## Main

- 先选对区域 Host：README 提醒 API key 需与 `MINIMAX_API_HOST` 匹配（Global vs Mainland）。

- 本地先用 stdio，想部署/共享再考虑 SSE 方式，便于跨机器复用。

- 把工具调用当“计费操作”：README 提醒可能产生费用，建议加预算/权限/审核策略。

- 以工具列表当契约：把每个 tool 映射到固定 prompt 模板，减少 agent 调用漂移。
