minimax-to-telegram

What This Skill Does

The minimax-to-telegram skill serves as a high-powered creative bridge between MiniMax's generative AI models and the Telegram messaging platform. By leveraging the mcporter CLI and the MiniMax MCP server, this skill allows OpenClaw agents to generate high-quality media—including images, text-to-speech audio, and AI-generated video—directly from text prompts. Once the asset is generated, the agent handles the delivery process to any designated Telegram chat. It is designed for seamless automation, ensuring that authentication-protected URLs provided by MiniMax are correctly passed to Telegram’s delivery channels without breaking the necessary query strings.

Installation

1. Ensure you have Node.js installed, then install the mcporter CLI: npm install -g mcporter.
2. Configure your MiniMax API key by running export MINIMAX_API_KEY="your-api-key-here" in your terminal or adding it to ~/.mcporter/config.json.
3. Add the MiniMax MCP server to your environment: mcporter mcp add minimax-mcp.
4. Install the skill directly via OpenClaw: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hoyin258/minimax-to-telegram.

Use Cases

• Automated Content Creation: Generate daily social media visual assets or audio snippets and push them directly to a Telegram channel for team review.
• Personalized Audio Messaging: Create custom voice notes using text-to-speech for personal or business alerts.
• Rapid Prototyping: Quickly generate video concepts or visual prototypes and share them with stakeholders in real-time.
• Voice Branding: Use the voice cloning or design tools to create consistent brand-voice audio clips for automated notifications.

Example Prompts

1. "Generate an image of a futuristic city in cyberpunk style using MiniMax and send it to my Telegram work group."
2. "Convert this text: 'Meeting starts in 5 minutes' into a professional voice note and send it to the 'Team Update' channel."
3. "Create a 5-second video of a sunset over the ocean and forward it to my personal Telegram chat."

Tips & Limitations

• Authentication URLs: Always ensure the full URL including the query string (e.g., ?Expires=...) is used. If you omit the parameters, Telegram will be unable to access the media file.
• Audio Captioning: When sending audio files to Telegram, always provide a text caption containing the source text for accessibility and context.
• Environment Variables: Double-check that your API key is correctly exported in your terminal session before execution to avoid authentication errors. If you switch terminal tabs, you may need to re-export the variable.
