  • Superior AI Capabilities: Advanced text-to-image generation with excellent quality
  • Multiple Generation Methods: Support for synchronous and queue-based generation
  • Flexible Aspect Ratios: Support for various aspect ratios from square to panoramic
  • Prompt Optimization: Optional prompt enhancement for better results
  • Local Image Download: Automatically downloads generated images to local storage
  • Queue Management: Submit long-running requests and check their status
  • Webhook Support: Optional webhook notifications for completed requests

Installation

  1. Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/PierrunoYT/fal-minimax-image-01-mcp-server.git
cd fal-minimax-image-01-mcp-server
  1. Install dependencies:
npm install
  1. Build the project:
npm run build

Configuration

Environment Variables

Set your fal.ai API key as an environment variable:

export FAL_KEY="your_fal_api_key_here"

You can get your API key from fal.ai.

MCP Client Configuration

Add this server to your MCP client configuration. For example, in Claude Desktop's config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fal-minimax-image-01": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "https://github.com/PierrunoYT/fal-minimax-image-01-mcp-server.git"],
      "env": {
        "FAL_KEY": "your_fal_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

If the package is published to npm, you can use:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fal-minimax-image-01": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["fal-minimax-image-01-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "FAL_KEY": "your_fal_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Alternatively, if you've cloned the repository locally:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fal-minimax-image-01": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/fal-minimax-image-01-mcp-server/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "FAL_KEY": "your_fal_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

1. minimax_generate

Generate images using the standard synchronous method.

Parameters:

  • prompt (required): Text description of the image to generate (max 1500 characters)
  • aspect_ratio (optional): Aspect ratio of the generated image (default: "1:1")
  • num_images (optional): Number of images to generate (1-9, default: 1)
  • prompt_optimizer (optional): Enable prompt optimization for better results
  • sync_mode (optional): Wait for completion (default: true)

Example:

{
  "prompt": "A futuristic cityscape with flying cars and neon lights",
  "aspect_ratio": "16:9",
  "num_images": 2,
  "prompt_optimizer": true
}

2. minimax_generate_queue

Submit a long-running image generation request to the queue.

Parameters: Same as minimax_generate plus:

  • webhook_url (optional): URL for webhook notifications

Returns: A request ID for tracking the job

3. minimax_queue_status

Check the status of a queued request.

Parameters:

  • request_id (required): The request ID from queue submission
  • logs (optional): Include logs in response (default: true)

4. minimax_queue_result

Get the result of a completed queued request.

Parameters:

  • request_id (required): The request ID from queue submission

Aspect Ratios

The MiniMax model supports the following aspect ratios:

  • 1:1: Square format (default)
  • 16:9: Widescreen landscape
  • 4:3: Standard landscape
  • 3:2: Classic photo landscape
  • 2:3: Classic photo portrait
  • 3:4: Standard portrait
  • 9:16: Vertical/mobile format
  • 21:9: Ultra-wide panoramic

Example:

{
  "aspect_ratio": "16:9"
}

Prompt Optimization

Enable prompt optimization to enhance your text prompts for better results:

{
  "prompt_optimizer": true
}

When enabled, the AI will automatically improve your prompt to generate higher quality images.

Output

Generated images are automatically downloaded to a local images/ directory with descriptive filenames. The response includes:

  • Local file paths
  • Original URLs
  • Image dimensions (when available)
  • Content types
  • File sizes (when available)
  • Generation parameters used
  • Request IDs for tracking
  • Seed values for reproducibility

Error Handling

The server provides detailed error messages for:

  • Missing API keys
  • Invalid parameters
  • Network issues
  • API rate limits
  • Generation failures
  • Prompt length violations (max 1500 characters)
