About
MiniMax Code CLI is a model-agnostic terminal coding agent you install with npm, and it supports BYOK: point it at any free OpenAI-compatible endpoint instead of paying for the official token plan. It plugs into skills from Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Codex, Pi, and Hermes, and it scored 76.7% on the FrontierHarness eval. A strong free path to a capable terminal agent if you pair it with one of the free inference gateways in this catalog.
Details
Open source. You run it yourself.
Auth: Open source (MIT)
