Running ClaudeCode with minimax

readme.md

How to use?

Just create a file in ~/.minimax_key with your API or subscription key and the run ./claude-minimax.sh or whatever you plan to call this wrapper.

It will start the claude code with the minimax set as model. All parameters provided to the wrapper will be forwarded to the claude code.

claude-minimax.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Wrapper around `claude` that swaps Anthropic's backend for MiniMax-M3.
# All extra arguments are forwarded to the real `claude` CLI.
# Docs: https://platform.minimax.io/docs/token-plan/claude-code
