Claude Desktop

Go to Claude > Settings > Developer > Edit Config > claude_desktop_config.json to include the following:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "MiniMax": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "minimax-mcp",
        "-y"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MINIMAX_API_KEY": "insert-your-api-key-here",
        "MINIMAX_MCP_BASE_PATH": "local-output-dir-path, such as /User/xxx/Desktop",
        "MINIMAX_API_HOST": "api host, https://api.minimax.io | https://api.minimaxi.com",
        "MINIMAX_API_RESOURCE_MODE": "optional, [url|local], url is default, audio/image/video are downloaded locally or provided in URL format"
      }
    }
  }
}

⚠️ Warning: The API key needs to match the host. If an error "API Error: invalid api key" occurs, please check your api host:

Global Host：https://api.minimax.io
Mainland Host：https://api.minimaxi.com

If you're using Windows, you will have to enable "Developer Mode" in Claude Desktop to use the MCP server. Click "Help" in the hamburger menu in the top left and select "Enable Developer Mode".

Cursor

Go to Cursor -> Preferences -> Cursor Settings -> MCP -> Add new global MCP Server to add above config.

2. spawn uvx ENOENT

Please confirm its absolute path by running this command in your terminal:

which uvx

Once you obtain the absolute path (e.g., /usr/local/bin/uvx), update your configuration to use that path (e.g., "command": "/usr/local/bin/uvx").

3. How to use `generate_video` in async-mode

Define completion rules before starting: Alternatively, these rules can be configured in your IDE settings (e.g., Cursor):
