Setting up with Highlight

This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:

Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name MiniMax-MCP

Command (node, npx, python, etc.) uvx
Arguments
- Argument 1 minimax-mcp
- Argument 2 -y
Environment
- MINIMAX_API_KEY insert-your-api-key-here
- MINIMAX_API_HOST api host, https://api.minimax.io | https://api.minimaxi.com
- MINIMAX_MCP_BASE_PATH local-output-dir-path, such as /User/xxx/Desktop
- MINIMAX_API_RESOURCE_MODE optional, [url|local], url is default, audio/image/video are downloaded locally or provided in URL format
Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches

Setting up with Cursor
