MCP Minimax tools 10
minimax_list_modelsDescribe the MiniMax H3 model and supported input modes.minimax_list_actionsList MiniMax H3 generation and task tools.minimax_list_tasksList video generation tasks, optionally filtered by creation timestamp.minimax_get_taskQuery the status and result of a video generation task. Use this to check if a generation is complete and retrieve the resulting video URLs and other metadata. Use this when: - You want to check if a generation has completed - You need to retrieve video URLs from a previous generation - You want to get the full details of a generated video Task states: - 'queued' or 'running': Generation is still in progress - 'succeeded': Generation finished successfully - 'failed' or 'cancelled': Generation reached a terminal error state Returns: Task status and generated video information including URLs and status.minimax_get_tasks_batchQuery multiple video generation tasks at once. Efficiently check the status of multiple tasks in a single request. More efficient than calling minimax_get_task multiple times. Use this when: - You have multiple pending generations to check - You want to get status of several videos at once - You're tracking a batch of generations Returns: Status and video information for all queried tasks.minimax_delete_taskDelete a MiniMax video generation task.minimax_generate_video_from_textGenerate a MiniMax H3 video from a text prompt.minimax_generate_video_from_imagesGenerate from one first-frame image or multiple reference images. Single image uses first_frame mode; multiple images use reference_image mode. The two modes are mutually exclusive per MiniMax H3 v2 API contract.minimax_generate_video_from_audioGenerate a MiniMax H3 video guided by audio and reference images. Audio-guided generation uses reference mode exclusively (reference_audio forces the entire content into reference-to-video mode per the H3 v2 contract).minimax_generate_videoGenerate a video from the full MiniMax content schema.
