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 and more.

💡 Recommended: MiniMax CLI (mmx-cli) — our official command-line tool with the latest models and additional features including text, vision, search, and music cover. Works as an AI agent skill for Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw, etc.
