# MiniMax Lyrics Generation — Atlas Cloud API > MiniMax Lyrics Generation is a dedicated lyric-writing model that turns a one-line theme into a complete, professionally structured set of song lyrics - title, style tags, and sections marked with [Verse]/[Chorus] structure tags - and can also edit, continue, or restructure existing lyrics, with output directly usable as the lyrics input of MiniMax's music models. This is the machine-readable API reference for **MiniMax Lyrics Generation** on Atlas Cloud, a unified API platform for 400+ AI models across text, image, video, audio and 3D. - **Model ID**: `minimax/lyrics-generation` - **Built by**: MiniMax - **Modality**: Audio - **Model page**: https://www.atlascloud.ai/models/minimax/lyrics-generation - **API key**: https://www.atlascloud.ai/console/api-keys - **Docs**: https://www.atlascloud.ai/docs ## Pricing on Atlas Cloud - $0.01 per generation - Pay-as-you-go. No minimum spend, no subscription required. > **These are the authoritative Atlas Cloud rates for this model.** Any price that > appears in the vendor description further down refers to a different platform or > a different model variant and does not apply here. ## Use this model from an AI agent Atlas Cloud ships three first-party integration surfaces. All three authenticate with the same API key via the `ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY` environment variable. ### MCP server The official MCP server (`atlascloud-mcp`) exposes this model to any MCP-compatible host — Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Goose, Claude Desktop. One-line install: ```bash # Claude Code claude mcp add atlascloud -- npx -y atlascloud-mcp # OpenAI Codex CLI codex mcp add atlascloud -- npx -y atlascloud-mcp # Gemini CLI gemini mcp add atlascloud -- npx -y atlascloud-mcp export ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY="your-api-key" ``` Then ask in plain English; the agent calls `atlas_generate_audio` with `model: "minimax/lyrics-generation"`. The server fetches each model's schema and validates parameters before submitting, so invalid requests fail fast without spending credits.

Async media jobs are polled and downloaded automatically (use `--no-download` when a script only needs the output URLs): ```bash # Install (Homebrew, npm, or shell installer) brew install AtlasCloudAI/tap/atlascloud # npm install -g atlascloud-cli # curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AtlasCloudAI/cli/main/install.sh | sh atlas auth login atlas models get minimax/lyrics-generation --json ``` CLI docs: https://www.atlascloud.ai/docs/cli ## HTTP API reference - **Submit endpoint (POST)**: `https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/generateAudio` — start an async generation; returns a `prediction_id` - **Poll endpoint (GET)**: `https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/prediction/{prediction_id}` — poll this until the prediction finishes - **Model ID**: `minimax/lyrics-generation` ## API Information This model can be used via our HTTP API or more conveniently via our client libraries. See the input and output schema below, as well as the usage examples. ### Input Schema The API accepts the following input parameters: - **`model`** (`string`, _required_): Model name. - Default: `"minimax/lyrics-generation"` - **`mode`** (`string`, _required_): Generation mode. write_full_song creates a complete new set of lyrics from the prompt; edit rewrites, continues or modifies the lyrics supplied in the lyrics field. - Default: `"write_full_song"` - Options: "write_full_song", "edit" - **`prompt`** (`string`, _required_): Song theme, style or editing instruction, e.g. "a lighthearted summer beach pop song about a seaside promise". Max 2000 chars. If left empty, a random song is generated. - Default: `""` - **`lyrics`** (`string`, _optional_): Existing lyrics to continue or modify. Required when mode is edit, and must be left empty when mode is write_full_song, where the model writes the lyrics from scratch. Separate lines with a newline; supports section structure tags on their own line (e.g. [Verse], [Chorus]) to mark the arrangement of the song. Max 3500 chars. - Default: `""` - **`title`** (`string`, _optional_): Song title. When provided, the generated result keeps this title unchanged. - Default: `""` - **`enable_sync_mode`** (`boolean`, _optional_): If set to true, the function will wait for the result to be generated and uploaded before returning the response. It allows you to get the result directly in the response. This property is only available through the API. - Default: `false` **Required Parameters Example**: ```json { "model": "minimax/lyrics-generation", "mode": "write_full_song", "prompt": "" } ``` **Full Example**: ```json { "model": "minimax/lyrics-generation", "mode": "write_full_song", "prompt": "", "lyrics": "", "title": "", "enable_sync_mode": false } ``` ### Output Schema The API returns the following output format: - **`code`** (`integer`, _optional_): HTTP status code of the response. - **`message`** (`string`, _optional_): Human-readable message; non-empty on failure. - **`data`** (`object`, _optional_): - Properties: - **`id`** (`string`, _optional_): Unique identifier for the prediction. - **`model`** (`string`, _optional_): Model ID used for the prediction. - **`outputs`** (`array[string]`, _optional_): Array of URLs to the generated content. Null when status is not completed. - **`lyrics_result`** (`object`, _optional_): The generated lyrics result. Null when status is not completed. - Properties: - **`song_title`** (`string`, _optional_): Generated song title. If title was provided in the request, it is preserved, e.g. "Summer Breeze Promise". - **`style_tags`** (`array[string]`, _optional_): Style tags describing the song, e.g. ["Pop", "Summer Vibe", "Romance", "Lighthearted", "Beach Pop"]. - **`lyrics`** (`string`, _optional_): Generated lyrics, with lines separated by newlines and sections marked by structure tags such as [Intro], [Verse], [Pre Chorus], [Chorus], [Bridge] and [Outro].

It does not just produce verse text: each result arrives with a song title, a set of style tags describing the intended genre and mood, and lyrics already segmented into named sections — `[Intro]`, `[Verse]`, `[Pre Chorus]`, `[Chorus]`, `[Bridge]`, `[Outro]` and more. That structure is the point. The section tags this model emits are the same tags MiniMax's music models read to control arrangement, so its output can be passed straight into `minimax/music-3.0` as the `lyrics` input with no reformatting. The two models together form the standard two-step songwriting workflow: write the words, review or edit them, then compose the track. Beyond writing from scratch, the model also works as a lyric editor — give it existing lyrics and an instruction, and it will rewrite, extend, or restructure them while keeping the parts you want intact. #### How It Works The model operates in one of two modes, selected by the `mode` parameter. ##### Write Full Song In `write_full_song` mode, the `prompt` describes the song you want — theme, style, mood, scenario — and the model composes an entire lyric sheet from nothing. It decides the arrangement, writes each section, keeps the rhyme scheme and line lengths singable, and maintains a coherent narrative and emotional arc from opening to close. The `lyrics` field must be left empty in this mode. If the `prompt` is left empty as well, the model generates a random song rather than failing — useful for ideation or sampling. ##### Edit Existing Lyrics _(Description truncated.
