How to Set Up and Use MiniMax Multimodal
mmx-mcp-server is a unified MiniMax multimodal MCP server that gives AI assistants access to MiniMax's full suite of generative AI capabilities: web search, text chat, vision/image understanding, image generation, text-to-speech synthesis, video generation, music generation, and account quota queries. All capabilities are surfaced as eight distinct MCP tools, making it straightforward for agents to combine modalities in a single workflow — for example, searching the web, generating an image, and synthesizing a narration in one conversation. Developers use it as a single integration point for MiniMax's diverse AI model portfolio.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later installed
- A MiniMax developer account and API key — sign up at minimax.io and generate an API key from the developer console
- The MINIMAX_API_KEY in the format sk-xxxxx
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor (claude-code), or VS Code with MCP support
Obtain your MiniMax API key
Sign up at minimax.io, navigate to the developer console, and generate an API key. The key format is sk-xxxxx. Keep it secure and do not commit it to version control.
Clone the repository and install dependencies
Clone the mmx-mcp-server repository and install its Node.js dependencies.
git clone https://github.com/zth0828/mmx-mcp-server.git
cd mmx-mcp-server
npm install
npm run buildConfigure your MCP client
Add the mmx-mcp-server to your MCP client configuration. Pass the MINIMAX_API_KEY as an environment variable. For Claude Desktop on macOS, edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json.

}
}
}
}Restart your MCP client
Restart Claude Desktop or your chosen MCP client to load the new server configuration and establish the connection to MiniMax.
Test each modality
Ask your AI assistant to use one of the eight tools: mmx_search, mmx_text_chat, mmx_vision_describe, mmx_image_generate, mmx_speech_synthesize, mmx_video_generate, mmx_music_generate, or mmx_quota_show to confirm the server is working.

API calls fail with 'invalid API key' or 401 error
Verify MINIMAX_API_KEY is set to your full key including the 'sk-' prefix. Check the MiniMax developer console to confirm the key is active and has not expired or been revoked.
Generated files (images, audio, video) are not saved
Set MMX_OUTPUT_DIR to an existing writable directory path. If left unset, files default to subdirectories of the current working directory where the server process was launched — ensure that directory is writable.
Video or music generation requests time out
These are long-running generative tasks that can take 30-120 seconds depending on complexity and MiniMax server load. If your MCP client has a short request timeout, increase it to at least 120 seconds to accommodate generation time.
