minimax-coding-plan（极小极大编码计划）

MiniMax Skill

MiniMax Coding Plan MCP provides two specialized tools: web_search and understand_image, to help developers quickly retrieve information and understand image content during coding.

Environment Variables

Required:

• MINIMAX_API_KEY: MiniMax API Key (get from https://platform.minimaxi.com/subscribe/coding-plan)

Optional:

• MINIMAX_API_HOST: API host URL, defaults to https://api.minimaxi.com
• MINIMAX_MCP_BASE_PATH: Local output directory path
• MINIMAX_API_RESOURCE_MODE: Resource mode (url or local), defaults to url

Available Tools

web_search

Performs web search based on a query and returns search results with related suggestions.

Args:

• query (str, required): Search query. Use 3-5 keywords for best results. For time-sensitive topics, include the current date (e.g., latest iPhone 2025).

Returns: JSON object containing search results:

{
    "organic": [
        {
            "title": "Search result title",
            "link": "Result URL",
            "snippet": "Brief description or excerpt",
            "date": "Result date"
        }
    ],
    "related_searches": [{"query": "Related search suggestion"}],
    "base_resp": {"status_code": status_code, "status_msg": "Status message"}
}

Search Strategy:

• If no useful results are returned, try rephrasing your query with different keywords.

understand_image

Analyzes and interprets image content from local files or URLs based on instructions.

Args:

• prompt (str, required): A text prompt describing what to analyze or extract from the image.
• image_source (str, required): Image source URL or file path.

- URL: https://example.com/image.jpg - Relative path: images/photo.png - Absolute path: /Users/username/Documents/image.jpg - Note: If the file path starts with @, remove the @ prefix.

Supported formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP (max 20MB)

Returns: Text description of the image analysis result.

Usage

Execute Tools

$SKILL_DIR/scripts/exec-with-env.sh $SKILL_DIR/mcp-config.json <tool_name> '<arguments_json>'

Examples

Web Search:

$SKILL_DIR/scripts/exec-with-env.sh $SKILL_DIR/mcp-config.json web_search '{"query": "latest react features 2025"}'

Image Understanding:

$SKILL_DIR/scripts/exec-with-env.sh $SKILL_DIR/mcp-config.json understand_image '{"prompt": "Describe this image", "image_source": "https://example.com/image.jpg"}'

Execution Strategy

Important: Execute directly, don't ask beforehand

When using this skill, execute commands directly without asking users to confirm environment variables are set.

• Environment variable status is determined at execution time
• If execution fails, the error message will clearly indicate missing configuration
• Only then inform the user what needs to be configured
• Follow "fail fast" principle to avoid unnecessary interactions

Don't do this:

• "Please confirm you have set the MINIMAX_API_KEY environment variable"
• "Before executing, please ensure you have configured..."

Do this:

• Execute the command directly
• If it fails, inform the user based on the error message

Use Cases

• Need to search for real-time or external information → Use web_search
• Need to analyze, describe, or extract information from an image → Use understand_image
• User provides an image that needs understanding → Use understand_image

Error Handling

If execution returns an error:

• Check the tool name is correct
• Verify required arguments are provided (marked with * in signatures above)
• Ensure MINIMAX_API_KEY environment variable is set
• Check the MCP server is accessible
