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 an open-source project written primarily in Python, with 1.6k stars on GitHub. It was last updated in August 2026.
