Sources and review
Checked against public documentation on . Suitability guidance is our editorial judgment; this is not a performance benchmark or an endorsement.
Adding speech, voice cloning and video generation to an MCP client through one provider.
You don't have a MiniMax API key; the key and API host must also match the same region.
About MiniMax MCP
MiniMax's official MCP server lets clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor and Windsurf generate speech, clone voices and create images and video through MiniMax APIs. A JavaScript implementation is maintained separately, and MiniMax now recommends its mmx-cli command-line tool for its newest models.
MiniMax MCP is listed in this index written primarily in Python, with 1.6k stars on GitHub. Its latest recorded repository push was in August 2026; that is not an ASE editorial review date.
Before connecting: access and data
This record's specific permissions have not been reviewed by ASE. Read the publisher's documentation before copying setup or connecting.
- List the accounts, files and services the enabled tools can read, change or execute. Check your actual credentials and discovered tools.
- Use narrowly scoped credentials and read-only mode where supported. Review proposed writes before approving them; a generated configuration does not apply these limits for you.
- Local launch is not local-only data processing. External services receive requests, and your client may pass tool results to its model provider. Check both destinations before sharing private data.
- Keep keys and browser session files out of shared config, repositories and screenshots. Know how to disconnect the server and separately revoke its credentials or account sessions.
Add MiniMax MCP to your MCP client
Generated from the launch command in the project's README. Your client starts the server on demand. Replace <your-api-key> with your own value first.
