Configure your MCP client:
Go to Claude > Settings > Developer > Edit Config > claude_desktop_config.json to include:
{
"mcpServers": {
"minimax-mcp-js": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"minimax-mcp-js"
],
"env": {

"MINIMAX_API_KEY": "<your-api-key-here>",
"MINIMAX_MCP_BASE_PATH": "<local-output-dir-path, such as /User/xxx/Desktop>",
"MINIMAX_RESOURCE_MODE": "<optional, [url|local], url is default, audio/image/video are downloaded locally or provided in URL format>"
}
}
}
}
Go to Cursor β Preferences β Cursor Settings β MCP β Add new global MCP Server to add the above config.
β οΈ Note: If you encounter a "No tools found" error when using MiniMax MCP JS with Cursor, please update your Cursor to the latest version. For more information, see this discussion thread.
That's it. Your MCP client can now interact with MiniMax through these tools.
For local development:
When developing locally, you can use npm link to test your changes:
# In your project directory
npm link
Then configure Claude Desktop or Cursor to use npx as shown above. This will automatically use your linked version.
β οΈ Note: The API key needs to match the host address. Different hosts are used for global and mainland China versions:
https://api.minimaxi.chat (note the extra "i")https://api.minimaxi.chatMiniMax MCP JS supports three transport modes:
| Feature | stdio (default) | REST | SSE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Environment | Local only | Local or cloud deployment | Local or cloud deployment |
| Communication | Via standard I/O | Via HTTP requests | Via server-sent events |
| Use Cases | L |

π‘ Pro Tips
Architecture
Model Context Protocol standardizes how AI hosts (Claude, Cursor) communicate with external tools and data sources through server implementations.
Protocols
Compatibility
β Use when
Use when you need Claude to access external data, execute actions, or integrate with tools. Best for extending AI capabilities beyond conversation.
β Avoid when
Avoid when native integrations exist (use official APIs directly), for real-time critical systems, or when security/compliance requires zero external dependencies.
