What it does
Analyze, describe, and extract information from images using the MiniMax vision MCP tool. Use when: user shares an image file path or URL (any message containing .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .webp, .bmp, or .svg file extension) or uses any of these words/phrases near an image: "analyze", "analyse", "describe", "explain", "understand", "look at", "review", "extract text", "OCR", "what is in", "what's in", "read this image", "see this image", "tell me about", "explain this", "interpret this", in connection with an image, screenshot, diagram, chart, mockup, wireframe, or photo. Also triggers for: UI mockup review, wireframe analysis, design critique, data extraction from charts, object detection, person/animal/activity identification. Triggers: any message with an image file extension (jpg, jpeg, png, gif, webp, bmp, svg), or any request to analyze/describ/understand/review/extract text from an image, screenshot, diagram, chart, photo, mockup, or wireframe.
Vision Analysis
Analyze images using the MiniMax MiniMax_understand_image MCP tool available in the MiniMax Token Plan.
Prerequisites
- MiniMax Token Plan subscription with valid
MINIMAX_API_KEY - MiniMax MCP configured (
MiniMax_understand_imagetool available)
If MCP tool is not configured
Step 1: The agent should fetch setup instructions from: https://platform.minimaxi.com/docs/token-plan/mcp-guide
Step 2: Detect the user's environment (OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) and output the exact commands needed. Common examples:
OpenCode, add to ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json or package.json:
{
"mcp": {
"MiniMax": {
"type": "local",
"command": ["uvx", "minimax-coding-plan-mcp", "-y"],
"environment": {
"MINIMAX_API_KEY": "YOUR_TOKEN_PLAN_KEY",
"MINIMAX_API_HOST": "https://api.minimaxi.com"
},
"enabled": true
}
}
}
Claude Code:
claude mcp add -s user MiniMax --env MINIMAX_API_KEY=your-key --env MINIMAX_API_HOST=https://api.minimaxi.com -- uvx minimax-coding-plan-mcp -y
Cursor, add to MCP settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"MiniMax": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["minimax-coding-plan-mcp"],
"env": {
"MINIMAX_API_KEY": "your-key",
"MINIMAX_API_HOST": "https://api.minimaxi.com"
}
}
}
}
Step 3: After configuration, tell the user to restart their app and verify with /mcp.
Important: If the user does not have a MiniMax Token Plan subscription, inform them that the understand_image tool requires one, it cannot be used with free or other tier API keys.
