Tools

ToolPurpose
minimax_generate_video_from_textGenerate from a detailed prompt
minimax_generate_video_from_imagesGenerate from one to nine image URLs
minimax_generate_video_from_audioGenerate with one to three audio URLs and required images
minimax_generate_videoGenerate from the full documented content schema
minimax_list_tasksList tasks with optional timestamp filters
minimax_get_taskRetrieve one task
minimax_get_tasks_batchRetrieve several tasks
minimax_delete_taskDelete one task
minimax_list_modelsShow model constraints

Hosted server

https://minimax.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp

The hosted server supports AceDataCloud OAuth. MCP clients that support remote OAuth can connect directly to this URL.

Public API reference: MiniMax H3 Videos API.

Local installation

pipx install mcp-minimax
export ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN="YOUR_API_TOKEN"
mcp-minimax

Get a token from AceDataCloud.

Claude Code

claude mcp add minimax --transport stdio \
  --env ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN=YOUR_API_TOKEN \
  -- mcp-minimax

Generic MCP configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "minimax": {
      "command": "mcp-minimax",
      "env": {
        "ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN": "YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Examples

Text:

Generate a 6-second 16:9 video: a red fox running through a snowy forest at dawn, low tracking shot.

Images:

Animate these two reference images for 8 seconds while preserving the character and clothing.

Audio:

Create a 9:16 dance video guided by this audio, with cuts and motion following the beat.

The HTTP API waits for completion by default, while MCP generation tools default async to true so agents receive a task ID immediately. Poll it with minimax_get_task until the final AceDataCloud CDN video is available. Set async=false only when the client can safely wait for the complete result.
