Start a NEW task in the local MiniMax Code agent (mcode) — a separate CLI coding agent with its own file/shell tools and its own context window. Blocks until mcode settles, then returns only its final result plus stats, prefixed [session: ] and [session-key: mcode:]; continue that session later with mcode_reply. Caution: with permission 'full' (the server default) mcode edits files and runs shell commands as your user inside cwd without asking.

Send a new turn to an existing mcode session that is not executing right now — including one that timed out or was cancelled: the session survives in MiniMax Code's own store, so resume it here instead of restarting with mcode. Survives restarts of this server. For a turn still running under 'acp', use mcode_send instead.

List what this MiniMax Code installation reports via mcode provider list --json. Use it to pick a model value for mcode / mcode_reply. Starts no task. Official OAuth providers may list zero models even when a default model is configured.

Deliver a message into an mcode turn that is executing right now. Works only on runs started with transport 'acp' — a session that already finished takes mcode_reply, not mcode_send. follow_up is unsupported: MiniMax Code ACP does not document a mid-turn queue. steer cancels the current turn and submits the message as a new prompt. mcode_running lists reachable sessions.

List mcode turns executing at this moment — the ones mcode_send can reach — with session id, working directory, elapsed time, and messages already sent in. Only acp-transport runs appear. For past sessions use mcode_sessions.

List all mcode sessions started through this server, newest first — running or finished, including runs that timed out. Each row gives the session id, when it last ran, cwd, remembered transport, and model. Use it to recover an id for mcode_reply. For turns still executing (mcode_send targets), use mcode_running.

Read a bounded snapshot of a MiniMax Code session's visible conversation from the native messages.jsonl under ~/.minimax/v2/sessions. Does not send anything into the run, does not take the session lock, and does not wait for mcode to finish. Returns JSON: session, state (active if this process is running it, otherwise unknown), items (user / assistant / tool / gap), an opaque cursor to resume even at the current EOF, has_more, truncated_tail. Thinking and image binaries are omitted. Caps: limit (default 50, max 200), max_chars per item (default 4000, max 16000), and 100000 chars on the whole JSON page.
