Requires Python 3.10+ and uvx (install with `pipx install uv`) so the package can be resolved on first run. VS Code (Copilot) uses a `servers` root key with an explicit `type` field — different from the `mcpServers` shape used by Claude Desktop and Cursor. Paste the config below, then follow the reload step to register minimax-mcp.
