For Agents
Generate chat completions, speech, video, and music with the MiniMax models, and upload or list the files those generation jobs use.
Use for: Generate a chat completion for a user question, Turn a block of text into spoken audio, Create a short video from a scene description, Compose a music track from lyrics and a style
Not supported: Does not train or fine-tune custom models, host a chat UI, or manage billing. Use it to run text, speech, video, and music generation jobs and to manage the files those jobs use.
MiniMax API is a multimodal generation platform that exposes MiniMax's large language, text-to-speech, video, and music models behind a single REST interface. An agent can generate a chat completion, synthesize speech, produce a short video, or compose a music track, then upload and list the files those jobs consume. It suits teams building assistants or content pipelines that need several media types from one provider.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the MiniMax API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the MiniMax API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fminimaxi.com%2Fminimaxi" | sh2
Step 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fminimaxi.com%2Fminimaxi" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
Capabilities
What an agent can do with MiniMax API.
Generate chat completions from the MiniMax large language models
Synthesize speech from text with the text-to-audio endpoint
Generate a video clip from a text prompt
Generate a music track from a structured prompt
Upload a file and list previously uploaded files
Use Cases
Patterns agents use MiniMax API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Conversational Assistant
An agent answers a user's question by calling POST /v1/text/chatcompletion_v2 with the conversation history, then returns the model's reply. This gives the assistant a language backend without wiring a separate provider.
Send the running conversation to POST /v1/text/chatcompletion_v2 and return the assistant message
Voiceover Generation
A content agent turns a written script into narration by calling POST /v1/t2a_v2, receiving audio it can attach to a video or podcast. It removes the manual step of recording or sourcing a voice.
Send the script text to POST /v1/t2a_v2 and store the returned audio
Short-Form Video Creation
A marketing agent produces a short clip from a scene description with POST /v1/video_generation, then polls for the result. This lets an automated pipeline draft video assets from a text brief.
Submit the scene description to POST /v1/video_generation and retrieve the generated clip
Generation Asset Management
Before a batch of jobs, an agent uploads reference material with the file upload endpoint and confirms what is available by calling GET /v1/files/list. This keeps the inputs a generation run depends on organized.
Upload the reference file, then call GET /v1/files/list to confirm it is present

Why Jentic?
What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the MiniMax API by hand means setting up its bearer token, formatting a different request body for each of the text, speech, video, and music endpoints, and polling long-running jobs against https://api.minimaxi.com. Through Jentic you install once, import the MiniMax API from the API Directory, store the credential once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Because you run Jentic One yourself, you decide which MiniMax operations the agent may call. Allow only the ones it needs, such as chat completion and file listing, and leave video and music generation out of the allowed set unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your MiniMax bearer token is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent, such as 'generate a chat completion' or 'synthesize speech from text', and Jentic returns the matching MiniMax operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint.

FAQs
Specific to using MiniMax API through Jentic.
What can an AI agent do with the MiniMax API?
An agent can generate a chat completion, synthesize speech from text, generate a video or a music track from a prompt, and upload or list the files those jobs use. The models are reached over one REST interface, so a single integration covers several media types.
What authentication does the MiniMax API use?
The MiniMax API authenticates with a bearer token, supplied in the Authorization header as declared by the specification's bearerAuth scheme. Through Jentic the token is held by your own instance and attached to each request at execution time.
Can I generate speech through the MiniMax API?
Yes. POST /v1/t2a_v2 turns a block of text into audio you can attach to a video, podcast, or notification. Pair it with the chat completion endpoint to draft and voice a script in one workflow.
Is there an MCP server for the MiniMax API?
You do not need a separate MCP server to use the MiniMax API with an agent. Through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, your agent calls the MiniMax operations directly after you import them from the API Directory. Install Jentic One from github.com/jentic/jentic-one to run it yourself.
How does my agent discover MiniMax operations through Jentic?
Agents search Jentic by intent, such as 'generate a chat completion with MiniMax', and Jentic returns the matching operation with its input schema. The agent then calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the MiniMax API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, you decide which MiniMax operations the agent may call. You can allow only chat completion, for example, and leave video and music generation out of the allowed set unless you add them, so the agent acts only within the operations you permit.
