## Description

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_image` tool 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`:
```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**:
```bash
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:
```json
{
  "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.
