MiniMax Search

OpenClaw supports MiniMax as a web_search provider through the MiniMax Coding Plan search API. It returns structured search results with titles, URLs, snippets, and related queries.

Get a Coding Plan key

Create or copy a MiniMax Coding Plan key from [MiniMax Platform](https://platform.minimax.io/user-center/basic-information/interface-key). Set `MINIMAX_CODE_PLAN_KEY` in the Gateway environment, or configure via:

```bash
openclaw configure --section web
```

OpenClaw also accepts MINIMAX_CODING_API_KEY as an env alias. MINIMAX_API_KEY is still read as a compatibility fallback when it already points at a coding-plan token.

Config

{
  plugins: {
    entries: {
      minimax: {
        config: {
          webSearch: {
            apiKey: "sk-cp-...", // optional if MINIMAX_CODE_PLAN_KEY is set
            region: "global", // or "cn"
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
  tools: {
    web: {
      search: {
        provider: "minimax",
      },
    },
  },
}

Environment alternative: set MINIMAX_CODE_PLAN_KEY in the Gateway environment. For a gateway install, put it in ~/.openclaw/.env.

Region selection

MiniMax Search uses these endpoints:

Global: https://api.minimax.io/v1/coding_plan/search
CN: https://api.minimaxi.com/v1/coding_plan/search

If plugins.entries.minimax.config.webSearch.region is unset, OpenClaw resolves the region in this order:

tools.web.search.minimax.region / plugin-owned webSearch.region
MINIMAX_API_HOST
models.providers.minimax.baseUrl
models.providers.minimax-portal.baseUrl

That means CN onboarding or MINIMAX_API_HOST=https://api.minimaxi.com/... automatically keeps MiniMax Search on the CN host too.

Even when you authenticated MiniMax through the OAuth minimax-portal path, web search still registers as provider id minimax; the OAuth provider base URL is only used as a region hint for CN/global host selection.

Supported parameters

MiniMax Search supports:

query
count (OpenClaw trims the returned result list to the requested count)

Provider-specific filters are not currently supported.

Web Search overview -- all providers and auto-detection
MiniMax -- model, image, speech, and auth setup
