<Warning>
This plugin is not yet available in the Eliza plugin registry. To use MiniMax models today, configure them through the [OpenRouter plugin](/plugin-registry/llm/openrouter) using the appropriate model ID.
</Warning>

The MiniMax plugin connects Eliza agents to MiniMax's language models, providing access to their text generation and multimodal capabilities.

> **On-demand plugin.** This plugin is resolved from the remote elizaOS plugin registry and auto-installs when its API key is detected. It is not included in Eliza's bundled `plugins.json` index.

**Package:** `@elizaos/plugin-minimax`

## Installation

```bash
eliza plugins install @elizaos/plugin-minimax
```

## Configuration

MiniMax does not have an env-var auto-enable trigger. Enable it explicitly in your config:

### eliza.json Example

```json
{
  "auth": {
    "profiles": {
      "default": {
        "provider": "minimax"
      }
    }
  },
  "plugins": {
    "allow": ["@elizaos/plugin-minimax"]
  }
}
```

Set your MiniMax API credentials:

```bash
export MINIMAX_API_KEY=your-minimax-api-key
export MINIMAX_GROUP_ID=your-group-id
```
