How to Set Up and Use Minimax Coding Plan
MiniMax Coding Plan MCP is a Python-based MCP server that brings MiniMax AI's web search and image understanding APIs into any MCP-compatible coding assistant. It exposes two tools — web_search for retrieving organic search results and understand_image for analyzing images based on text prompts — optimized specifically for code development workflows where developers need to look up documentation, libraries, or understand screenshots of errors and UI. The server works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and OpenAI Agents SDK.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10 or higher with uv package manager installed (curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh)
- A MiniMax API key from the MiniMax developer dashboard (api.minimax.io for global, api.minimaxi.com for mainland China)
- The API key and API host must be from the same region (global or mainland China)
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf
Install the uv package manager
uv is used to run the MiniMax Coding Plan MCP package without a manual pip install step. Install it using the official one-liner.
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | shObtain a MiniMax API key
Sign in to the MiniMax developer platform and create an API key. Note which region your account belongs to (Global at api.minimax.io or Mainland China at api.minimaxi.com) — the key and host must match.
Add the server to your MCP client configuration
Open your MCP client's config file (claude_desktop_config.json for Claude Desktop) and add the minimax-coding-plan-mcp entry. Set both MINIMAX_API_KEY and MINIMAX_API_HOST.
Restart your MCP client
Restart Claude Desktop or your chosen MCP client so it picks up the new server entry. On first run, uvx will download and install the package automatically.
Test the web_search tool
Ask Claude to search the web for a coding topic. The server will call the MiniMax web search API and return organic search results.
Minimax Coding Plan Examples
Client configuration
Add this block to claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json). Replace the API key and choose the correct host for your region.
{
"mcpServers": {
"minimax-coding-plan": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["minimax-coding-plan-mcp", "-y"],
"env": {
"MINIMAX_API_KEY": "your_minimax_api_key",
"MINIMAX_API_HOST": "https://api.minimax.io"
}
}
}
}Prompts to try
Once the server is running, use these prompts in Claude Desktop to exercise the web_search and understand_image tools.
- "Search the web for how to use asyncio.gather in Python 3.12."
- "Find the latest release notes for the FastAPI library."
- "Analyze this screenshot of my terminal error and tell me how to fix it." (attach an image)
- "Search for examples of React Server Components with TypeScript."Troubleshooting Minimax Coding Plan
Server fails with 'API key invalid' or authentication errors
Double-check that MINIMAX_API_KEY and MINIMAX_API_HOST belong to the same region. A global key will not authenticate against the mainland China host and vice versa.
uvx command not found after installation
Re-source your shell profile (source ~/.zshrc or source ~/.bashrc) after installing uv. On macOS, you may also need to restart your terminal application.
Server starts but tools are not visible in the MCP client
On Windows, enable Developer Mode in Claude Desktop settings. Also verify the args array contains '-y' to suppress interactive prompts from uvx during startup.
