MiniMax MCP (Image, Video & Audio Generation)

Updated June 2026✓ Official

The MiniMax MCP (Image, Video & Audio Generation) MCP server, built by MiniMax AI, provides miniMax MCP is MiniMax's official, first-party Model Context Protocol server for text-to-image generation, alongside video and audio generation — the highest-starred general-purpose image-generation MCP server on GitHub (1,500+ stars, MIT licensed, actively maintained), a strong signal for the broad "AI image generation MCP" search intent this page targets versus single-model options like Replicate Flux or Stability AI covered in their own dedicated entries elsewhere in this directory. It is officially maintained and best for AI & ML.

About

MiniMax MCP is MiniMax's official, first-party Model Context Protocol server for text-to-image generation, alongside video and audio generation — the highest-starred general-purpose image-generation MCP server on GitHub (1,500+ stars, MIT licensed, actively maintained), a strong signal for the broad "AI image generation MCP" search intent this page targets versus single-model options like Replicate Flux or Stability AI covered in their own dedicated entries elsewhere in this directory. The `text_to_image` tool generates images directly from a prompt; companion tools cover `generate_video` (with the MiniMax-Hailuo-02 model, configurable 6s/10s duration and 768P/1080P resolution), `music_generation` (prompt+lyrics to a full music track via the music-1.5 model), `text_to_audio` plus `voice_clone` and `voice_design` for custom TTS voices, and `query_video_generation` for polling async video jobs. Install via `uvx minimax-mcp -y` (Python/uv-based) with a `MINIMAX_API_KEY` from the MiniMax platform — note the API key and `MINIMAX_API_HOST` must match your account region (Global: api.minimax.io, Mainland China: api.minimaxi.com) or requests fail with an invalid-key error. Supports both stdio (local) and SSE (local or cloud-deployed) transport, with a `MINIMAX_API_RESOURCE_MODE` env var controlling whether generated assets are returned as a URL or downloaded to a local output path. A companion `MiniMax-MCP-JS` package offers an official JavaScript implementation for non-Python environments. Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and OpenAI Agents SDK clients — usage incurs MiniMax API costs per generation.

Installation

pip
uvx minimax-mcp -y

Exa MCP Server

Exa's official MCP server connects AI assistants to a search engine purpose-built for AI, using neural embeddings to match on meaning rather than keywords so agents get clean, ready-to-use content instead of a page of blue links to re-parse. The default tool set covers web_search_exa for quick topical lookups and web_search_advanced_exa for full control over domains, date ranges, and content filters, plus specialized tools for code_search (searching real-world code and GitHub), company_research (building company profiles, competitor lists, and financials), crawling/web_fetch (pulling clean content from a specific URL), people_search and linkedin_search (public professional-profile lookups), and deep_researcher_start/check for long-running multi-step research tasks backed by Exa's Research API. The server is hosted at https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp — no local process to run — and connects via one-line setup in Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, Claude Desktop (available as a native Connector), Codex, OpenCode, Windsurf, and Antigravity, authenticated with an EXA_API_KEY from the Exa dashboard. Tool exposure is tunable per client via a ?tools= query parameter on the endpoint URL, letting teams ship narrow, purpose-built configurations (e.g. company-research-only or LinkedIn-only agents) instead of exposing the full surface, and Exa ships ready-made Claude Skills/agent definitions for common patterns like company research and people search with built-in query-variation and token-isolation guidance.
