- A lightweight MiniMax Coding Plan Tool skill that directly calls official MCP APIs using pure JavaScript.
- No external MCP servers. No tool bridge. No subprocess invocation.
- Designed for minimal overhead and fast integration within OpenClaw.
- ---
- ## ✨ Features
- This skill provides two native capabilities of MiniMax Coding Plan MCP:
- ### 1. `minimax_web_search`
- Web search powered by MiniMax Coding Plan API.
- Real-time information retrieval
- Lightweight API-based implementation
- No external search engine dependency
- ### 2. `minimax_understand_image`
- Vision-language image understanding via MiniMax VLM.
- Image semantic analysis
- Visual content description
- Multimodal reasoning support
- ---
- ## 🧩 Architecture
- Pure JavaScript implementation
- Direct HTTPS API calls
- No MCP server runtime required
- No external tool dependency
- Minimal resource usage
- ---
- ## 🔑 Configuration
- ```bash
- openclaw config set skills.entries.minimax-coding-plan-tool.apiKey "sk-your-key"
- ```
- or
- ```json
- {
- "skills": {
- "entries": {
- "minimax-coding-plan-tool": {
- "apiKey": "sk-your-key"
- }
- }
- }
- }
- ```
- Read the API key from `openclaw.json`.
- ---
- # Tool Discovery
- Execute `minimax_coding_plan_tool.js` with environment variable `MINIMAX_API_KEY` to dynamically register these tools:
- ```
- MINIMAX_API_KEY="sk-your-key" node minimax_coding_plan_tool.js tools
- ```
- Output format:
- ```
- {
- "tools": [
- {
- "name": "minimax_web_search",
- "description": "...",
- "inputSchema": { ... }
- },
- {
- "name": "minimax_understand_image",
- "description": "...",
- "inputSchema": { ... }
- }
- ]
- }
- ```
- ---
- # Tool 1 — minimax_web_search
- ## Purpose
- Real-time web search using MiniMax Coding Plan search API.
- ## CLI Invocation
- ```
- MINIMAX_API_KEY="sk-your-key" node minimax_coding_plan_tool.js web_search "<query>"
- ```
- Example:
- ```
- MINIMAX_API_KEY="sk-your-key" node minimax_coding_plan_tool.js web_search "OpenAI GPT-5 release date"
- ```
- ## Input Schema
- ```
- {
- "query": "string"
- }
- ```
- ## Output Format
- Success:
- ```
- {
- "success": true,
- "query": "...",
- "results": [
- {
- "title": "...",
- "link": "...",
- "snippet": "...",
- "date": "..."
- }
- ],
- "related_searches": []
- }
- ```
- Error:
- ```
- {
- "error": "error message"
- }
- ```
- ---
- # Tool 2 — minimax_understand_image
- ## Purpose
- Image understanding using MiniMax Coding Plan VLM API.
- Only mainstream image formats are supported (for example: JPEG/JPG, PNG, WebP, and GIF).
- Supports:
- HTTP / HTTPS image URLs
- Local file paths
- `@localfile.jpg` shorthand
- Local files are automatically converted to base64 data URLs.
- ## Security Notice
- This tool requires outbound network access.
- If a local image is provided, its content is transmitted to the remote MiniMax API for processing, which introduces a potential risk of local image data leakage.
- Do not submit sensitive, private, or regulated images unless you fully accept this risk.
- ## CLI Invocation
- ```
- MINIMAX_API_KEY="sk-your-key" node minimax_coding_plan_tool.js understand_image <image_source> "<prompt>"
- ```
- Examples:
- Remote image:
- ```
- MINIMAX_API_KEY="sk-your-key" node minimax_coding_plan_tool.js understand_image https://example.com/image.jpg "Describe this image"
- ```
- Local image:
- ```
- MINIMAX_API_KEY="sk-your-key" node minimax_coding_plan_tool.js understand_image ./photo.png "What objects are visible?"
- ```
- With @ prefix:
- ```
- MINIMAX_API_KEY="sk-your-key" node minimax_coding_plan_tool.js understand_image @photo.png "Summarize the scene"
- ```
- ## Input Schema
- ```
- {
- "image_source": "string",
- "prompt": "string"
- }
- ```
- ## Output Format
- Success:
- ```
- {
- "success": true,
- "prompt": "...",
- "image_source": "...",
- "analysis": "model response"
- }
- ```
- Error:
- ```
- {
- "error": "error message"
- }
- ```
