MiniMax AI VSCode Extension

A VSCode extension that integrates MiniMax Coding Plan models as a language model provider using the VSCode Language Model Chat Provider API.

Features

• Coding Plan Models: Uses MiniMax-M2.5, MiniMax-M2.1, or MiniMax-M2
• Global Endpoint: Uses https://api.minimax.io/v1
• Interleaved tool reasoning continuity with structured thinking blocks.

Requirements

• VSCode 1.109.0 or later
• MiniMax API key (get one at MiniMax Dashboard)

Thinking Blocks (Proposed API)

When proposed API is enabled, structured thinking uses LanguageModelThinkingPart. Otherwise, the extension uses text-mode thinking blocks (<think>...</think>), while preserving full assistant responses for interleaved tool reasoning continuity.

Optional (VS Code Insiders + proposed API):

code-insiders --enable-proposed-api denizhandaklr.minimax-vscode
