Quick Install
Manual Configuration

Run the following command in terminal, replace api_key with your API Key:

claude mcp add -s user MiniMax --env MINIMAX_API_KEY=api_key --env MINIMAX_API_HOST=https://api.minimax.io -- uvx minimax-coding-plan-mcp -y

Edit the config file ~/.claude.json, add the following MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "MiniMax": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["minimax-coding-plan-mcp", "-y"],
      "env": {
        "MINIMAX_API_KEY": "MINIMAX_API_KEY",
        "MINIMAX_API_HOST": "https://api.minimax.io"
      }
    }
  }
}

Verify Configuration

After entering Claude Code, type /mcp. If you can see web_search, the configuration is successful.

If you use MCP in an IDE (like TRAE), you also need to configure MCP in the corresponding IDE settings
