Busabase for MiniMax Code

Connect MiniMax Code to Busabase

MiniMax's desktop AI agent app (the former MiniMax Agent desktop, renamed) plus the `mcode` terminal CLI: local workspace, terminal, browser, skills, MCP, scheduled tasks, Telegram/WeChat/Lark/Feishu channels.

Busabase

Agent Skill

Give your agent this one instruction

You end up with more than a connector: the busabase skill carries the whole change-request workflow, the CLI, and the full API — available in every future session without re-pasting anything.

Asks first

Busabase Cloud or Personal Desktop — your call, before anything happens.

Connects

Signs you in and stores the credential itself. No API key to copy by hand.

Seeds a Base

Creates and fills your first Base, so the workspace is not an empty screen.

Installs the skills

busabase and busabase-app-creator become permanent, for every session after this.

For this agent

Skills are SKILL.md folders (also auto-imported from Claude Code / Codex). Batch import from a GitHub repo is supported.

Prefer a connector?

If you would rather wire Busabase in as MCP tools than let the agent install a skill, use the server URL below.

At a glance

Vendor: MiniMax
How it connects: MCP + API key · Plugin / Skill · busabase-cli · REST API
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Authentication: API key
Config file: ~/.minimax/mcp.json (or plugin manifest *.mcp.json)

Run this

curl -fsSL https://filecdn.minimax.chat/public/install.sh | bash   # CLI; or npm install -g @minimax-ai/code

MiniMax Code (desktop app / mcode CLI) can fetch a URL and run shell commands, so the Skill path applies. Paste this into a chat with it: Read https://busabase.com/SETUP_SKILL.md and set up Busabase for me. Review the commands it proposes (npx busabase-cli login --no-wait, npx skills add busabase/skills --skill busabase busabase-app-creator), approve the sign-in link in your browser, then ask it to verify the active Busabase account.

Prefer a connector?

Open the plugin management entry → MCP Servers → add, in JSON mode:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "busabase": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://busabase.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${BUSABASE_API_KEY}" },
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Create the key in Busabase Settings → API Keys (smallest permission, finite expiry). The docs describe only static headers; OAuth account-connect flows are routed to MiniMax's App/Connector integration, so no OAuth route is published. Run mcode mcp list --human to check, then ask it to call auth_verify.

MCP Servers docs

Known gotchas

Remote MCP auth is documented only as static headers/tokens. Packaged plugin MCP supports stdio, streamable-http and sse; the `http` alias works only in local config. Do not commit real tokens. Some plans/regions differ: mainland-China and Global accounts log in separately (`mcode login --region global`).

Let your agent do the setup

One instruction, one authorization, and every change it makes afterwards carries a message and a diff you can check or revert.
