Api Key

MiniMax is a multimodal AI platform for text, video, speech, image, music, and file workflows. Its unified APIs help developers build rich AI experiences from one service.

35 Tools

Introduction

Hermes is a 24/7 autonomous agent that lives on your computer or server — it remembers what it learns and evolves as your usage grows.

This guide explains the easiest and most robust way to connect your MiniMax account to Hermes. You can do this through either Composio Connect CLI or Composio Connect MCP. For personal use we recommend the CLI, but you won't go wrong with MCP either.

What is Composio Connect?

Composio Connect is a consumer offering that lets anyone plug 1,500+ applications directly into their agent harness — including Hermes. It can:

  • Search and load tools from relevant toolkits on-demand, reducing context usage.
  • Chain multiple tools to accomplish complex workflows via a remote workbench, without excessive back-and-forth with the LLM.
  • Manage app authentication end-to-end with zero manual overhead.

Integrating MiniMax with Hermes

Using Composio Connect CLI

1. Install the Composio CLI

Run the install script directly, or paste https://composio.dev/hermes into your Hermes chat box to have it installed for you.

bash
curl -fsSL https://composio.dev/install | bash
Hermes authenticating with Composio

2. Authenticate

Once the CLI is installed, ask Hermes to authenticate with Composio.

3. Connect to MiniMax

Ask your agent to connect to MiniMax, or simply request any MiniMax-related task. Hermes will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

4. Done. You're all set with a new MiniMax connection.

Using Composio Connect MCP

1. Get your MCP URL and API Key

Go to dashboard.composio.dev and copy your Connect MCP URL and API key.

Copy MCP URL and API key from Composio dashboard

2. Open the Hermes config file

bash
nano ~/.hermes/config.yaml

3. Add the Composio Connect MCP server

bash
mcp_servers:
  composio:
    url: "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp"
    headers:
      x-consumer-api-key: "YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY"
    connect_timeout: 60
    timeout: 180

Save with Ctrl + O, Enter, then exit with Ctrl + X.

4. Restart your Hermes agent

Once restarted, ask your agent to connect to MiniMax or request any MiniMax-related task. It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

5. Done!

What is the MiniMax MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The MiniMax MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your MiniMax account. It provides structured and secure access to text generation, image creation, video generation, speech synthesis, audio transcription, voice tools, and file workflows, so your agent can generate content, create and track videos, synthesize and transcribe audio, manage voices, and upload or retrieve files on your behalf.

  • Text and image creation: Have your agent generate text with MiniMax models, count or estimate input tokens, and create images from detailed prompts.
  • Video generation and tracking: Direct your agent to create videos from text or reference media, use templates, enhance video prompts, check task progress, and retrieve finished results.
  • Speech and audio workflows: Let the agent synthesize spoken audio, start and monitor long-form speech tasks, and transcribe uploaded audio with options for timestamps, speaker separation, subtitles, and language hints.
  • Custom voice management: Instruct your agent to list available voices, design a voice from a description, clone a voice from an uploaded sample, create preview audio, or remove voices you no longer need.
  • File and generated output management: Have your agent upload files for supported MiniMax workflows, review available files, retrieve file details, download generated content, or delete files.

Way Forward

With MiniMax connected, Hermes can now act on your behalf whenever it detects a relevant task or you ask it to.

From here, you can extend Hermes further:

  • Connect more apps: Calendar, Slack, Notion, Linear, and hundreds of others are available through the same Composio Connect setup. Each new integration compounds what Hermes can do for you.
  • Build workflows across tools: Once multiple apps are connected, Hermes can chain actions together — turn an email into a calendar invite, a Slack message into a Linear ticket, or a meeting note into a follow-up draft.
  • Let it learn your patterns: The more you use Hermes, the better it gets at anticipating how you'd handle recurring tasks. Give it feedback on drafts and decisions, and it will adapt.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone MiniMax MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of MiniMax tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from MiniMax and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. Hermes fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right MiniMax tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which MiniMax scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your MiniMax data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
