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:

{
  "mcp": {
    "MiniMax": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["uvx", 

Claude Code:

Cursor — add to MCP settings:

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.

Analysis Modes

Workflow

Step 1: Auto-detect image

The skill triggers automatically when a message contains an image file path or URL with extensions: .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .webp, .bmp, .svg

Extract the image path from the message.

Step 2: Select analysis mode and call MCP tool

Use the MiniMax_understand_image tool with a mode-specific prompt:

describe:

ocr:

ui-review:

chart-data:

object-detect:

Step 3: Present results

Return the analysis clearly. For describe, use readable prose. For ocr, preserve structure. For ui-review, use a structured critique format.

Output Format Example

For describe mode:

For ui-review mode:

Notes

• Images up to 20MB supported (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP)
• Local file paths work if MiniMax MCP is configured with file access
• The MiniMax_understand_image tool is provided by the minimax-coding-plan-mcp package
