MiniMax Vision MCP
Provides image understanding capabilities by analyzing single or multiple images (local files, URLs, or base64) via MiniMax VL API, complementing text-only models.
README
MiniMax Vision MCP
将 MiniMax VL 多模态能力通过 MCP 暴露给 Claude Code(或其他 MCP 客户端),补足 DeepSeek v4 flash 等非多模态模型的读图能力。
功能
understand_image— 分析单张或多张图片,返回文字描述- 支持本地文件路径、http(s) URL、base64 data URL
- 格式:JPEG、PNG、WebP、GIF
- 支持两种 MiniMax API 模式(通过
MINIMAX_ENDPOINT切换)
前置条件
- Python 3.10+
- MiniMax API Key(开通了 VL 模型的 token plan)
快速开始
1. 安装
cd ~/Downloads/minimax-vision-mcp
pip install -e .
或用 uv(推荐):
cd ~/Downloads/minimax-vision-mcp
uv pip install -e .
2. 配置 Claude Code
编辑 ~/.claude/settings.local.json(或项目的 .claude/settings.json),添加:
{
"mcpServers": {
"minimax-vision": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"run",
"--directory",
"/Users/wenjiaqi/Downloads/minimax-vision-mcp",
"minimax-vision-mcp"
],
"env": {
"MINIMAX_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here",
"MINIMAX_ENDPOINT": "chat_completion"
}
}
}
}
Claude Desktop 也兼容:上述 stdio 配置格式可直接用于
claude_desktop_config.json。
3. 重启 Claude Code
重启后,在对话中发送图片或图片路径,Claude 会自动调用 understand_image 工具来分析图片。
环境变量
| 变量 | 必需 | 默认值 | 说明 |
|---|---|---|---|
MINIMAX_API_KEY |
✅ | — | MiniMax API 密钥 |
MINIMAX_API_HOST |
❌ | https://api.minimax.chat |
API 地址(中国区用 https://api.minimaxi.com) |
MINIMAX_MODEL |
❌ | minimax-vl-01 |
VL 模型名(仅 chat_completion 模式) |
MINIMAX_ENDPOINT |
❌ | chat_completion |
API 模式:chat_completion 或 coding_plan |
两种 API 模式
chat_completion(默认)
通用 MiniMax VL API,通过 /v1/text/chatcompletion_v2 调用,支持多图、system prompt、temperature 等参数。适用于标准 token plan。
coding_plan
MiniMax Coding Plan 专有端点 /v1/coding_plan/vlm,仅支持单图 + prompt。如果你是 Coding Plan 用户可用此模式。
不确定用哪个? 先试试
chat_completion(默认)。如果返回 404 或 auth 错误,切到coding_plan。
使用示例
# 分析本地图片
understand_image(
prompt="这张图片里有什么?请详细描述。",
image_path="/Users/wenjiaqi/Downloads/photo.png"
)
# 分析网络图片
understand_image(
prompt="Extract text from this image",
image_url="https://example.com/screenshot.jpg"
)
# 多图对比
understand_image(
prompt="Compare these two UI designs",
image_paths=["/path/to/design1.png", "/path/to/design2.png"]
)
