The README gives mcode as its command and lists interactive TUI, headless and Agent Client Protocol entry points.\n\nThe README says the agent reads files, inspects diffs and runs shell commands and tests under permissions and sandboxing. The README lists session resume, planning, subagents, plugins and built-in skills, and says search, media tools, MCP and managed connectors depend on account access and service credits.\n\nThe README gives a pocket-pet browser app example and says the published source covers the terminal TUI, headless CLI and ACP, excludes desktop-app source, and targets the 0.4.12 source preview.","intended_users":"Developers who want a coding agent in the terminal that can use a MiniMax account or their own OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible model API.","example_tasks":"Open your project, start mcode and ask it to find a failing test, fix the implementation and run the relevant tests.\nRun mcode init . to generate or update project guidance in AGENTS.md.\nAdd your own model provider using the openai-completions, openai-responses or anthropic-messages API format.\nResume the latest session in the current workspace with mcode --continue.\nBuild the pocket pet example, then change its requirements with a follow-up prompt.","setup_instructions":"The README gives an official installer script for macOS, Linux and WSL, one for Windows PowerShell, and a global npm install for Node.js 22.19+ (22.x), 24.2+ (24.x), 25 or 26. Reopen your terminal and check with mcode --version and mcode --help. Sign in with mcode login for a mainland China account or mcode login --region global for a Global account, or add your own provider with an API key kept in the MCODE_PROVIDER_API_KEY environment variable. Then run mcode in your project. The README also covers uninstalling and building from source. The README has the exact commands.","limitations":"The README says editing code needs a MiniMax account with credits or a compatible model API and may incur model charges. The README lists macOS, Linux and WSL shell installers and Windows PowerShell installation; Alpine and musl Linux are unsupported by the one-command installer. The README says npm and source builds need Node.js 22.19+ on 22.x, 24.2+ on 24.x, 25 or 26, with pnpm 9.12.0 for source builds. The README says Windows source checkouts must use local NTFS outside cloud-synced folders and the first build requires internet access. The README says installers have no uninstall flag. The README says managed tools require network access, authorization and service credits. The README says lightweight mode cannot inspect or change local files or be combined with --session or --continue, child sessions do not inherit it, compaction uses standard context, and ACP stays standard. The README labels this a 0.4.12 source preview, excludes desktop-app source, and limits code and documentation pull requests to collaborators. The README says installing the published package and building the checkout are separate paths, and matching versions do not prove identical build provenance. The repository can change at any time; check its README before you install.","data_handling":"According to the README, user data defaults to ~/.minimax, or ~/.minimax-<profile> when a profile is selected, and MINIMAX_DATA_DIR or MAVIS_DATA_DIR can change the location. The README describes local storage for login state, provider configuration, caches and sessions. The README describes using a MiniMax account or a custom model provider. The README says lightweight mode leaves workspace instructions, skills, memory blocks, MCP schemas and the full environment block out of provider context. The README says managed tools need network access and authorization, and that account features, updates, feedback and diagnostics are also included. It points to a capabilities document for service boundaries. The README does not mention telemetry. The README gives optional commands that permanently delete login state, provider configuration, caches and sessions; it warns that other installations can share the data directory and tells users to confirm the directory and back up anything needed before deletion.","compatibility":"According to the README: macOS, Linux and WSL through the shell installer, and Windows through PowerShell; Node.js 22.19+ (22.x), 24.2+ (24.x), 25 and 26; MiniMax accounts for mainland China or the Global region; custom providers using the openai-completions, openai-responses or anthropic-messages API formats; and editors and clients that support Agent Client Protocol.
