AgentSpawnMCP

Universal MCP server for any OpenAI-compatible LLM. Supports OpenAI and Anthropic API formats, cloud providers (OpenAI, Grok, Claude, Minimax, DeepSeek) and local models (Ollama, LM Studio, Jan). Built on FastMCP with pure httpx.

Quick Start — Spawn Agents

# No install needed — run directly with uvx
export MINIMAX_TOKEN=your-token
uvx agent-spawn-mcp spawn \
  --name minimax \
  --url https://api.minimax.io/anthropic/v1 \
  --token-env MINIMAX_TOKEN \
  --model MiniMax-M2.7 \
  --api-type anthropic

Or install globally:

pip install agent-spawn-mcp
agent-spawn-mcp spawn --name minimax --url https://api.minimax.io --token-env MINIMAX_TOKEN --model MiniMax-M2.7

API Types

• --api-type openai (default) — OpenAI-compatible (chat/completions)

• --api-type anthropic — Anthropic API (v1/messages)

URL versioning

Pass --url pointing directly at the API root. If your base URL already contains a version segment (e.g. …/paas/v4), the client will not re-append v1/. Examples:

Claude Code / OpenCode Integration

Add to your .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "minimax-agent": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["agent-spawn-mcp", "spawn",
               "--name", "minimax",
               "--url", "https://api.minimax.io/anthropic/v1",
               "--token", "your-minimax-token",
               "--model", "MiniMax-M2.7",
               "--api-type", "anthropic"]
    },
    "claude-agent": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["agent-spawn-mcp", "spawn",
               "--name", "claude",
               "--url", "https://api.anthropic.com",
               "--token", "your-anthropic-token",
               "--model", "claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
               "--api-type", "anthropic"]
    },
    "glm-agent": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["agent-spawn-mcp", "spawn",
               "--name", "glm",
               "--url", "https://api.z.ai/api/paas/v4",
               "--token", "your-zai-token",
               "--model", "glm-5.1"]
    },
    "glm-turbo-agent": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["agent-spawn-mcp", "spawn",
               "--name", "glm-turbo",
               "--url", "https://api.z.ai/api/paas/v4",
               "--token", "your-zai-token",
               "--model", "glm-5-turbo"]
    }
  }
}

Gotchas:

• Each entry in .mcp.json must use a unique --name — it becomes the tool name {name}_agent, and duplicates collide.

• --token on the command line is visible in ps output and some crash logs. Prefer keeping the MCP config file read-protected (chmod 600).

Codex CLI Integration

Codex can register stdio MCP servers with codex mcp add.

For a Minimax Anthropic-compatible agent:

export MINIMAX_TOKEN=your-minimax-token

codex mcp add minimax-agent -- \
  uvx agent-spawn-mcp spawn \
    --name minimax \
    --url https://api.minimax.io/anthropic/v1 \
    --token-env MINIMAX_TOKEN \
    --model MiniMax-M2.7 \
    --api-type anthropic

For z.ai GLM through the OpenAI-compatible API:

export ZAI_TOKEN=your-zai-token

codex mcp add glm-agent -- \
  uvx agent-spawn-mcp spawn \
    --name glm \
    --url https://api.z.ai/api/paas/v4 \
    --token-env ZAI_TOKEN \
    --model glm-5.1

Verify the registration:

codex mcp list
codex mcp get minimax-agent

Restart Codex from a shell where the token env var is set. The tool exposed to Codex is named from --name, for example minimax_agent or glm_agent.

If you need Codex to store the env var with the MCP server config, add --env MINIMAX_TOKEN="$MINIMAX_TOKEN" before --. This is convenient, but it stores the secret in Codex config. Passing --token directly also works, but stores the token in the command args.

Tools Exposed

• {name}_agent(task, model?, system_prompt?, temperature?, max_tokens?, timeout?) — Spawn agent

• agent_info() — Get provider info

max_tokens behaviour

The client imposes no cap. Behaviour when max_tokens is omitted depends on --api-type:

• openai — the field is simply not sent; the provider falls back to its own default (usually the model's full output budget). Reasoning models like GLM-5.x can burn huge amounts on chain-of-thought, so pass an explicit limit for short tasks.

• anthropic — the Anthropic API requires the field, so when you omit it the client fills in a safe default of 16384. Override when you need more or want to cap spend:

  claude_agent(task="summarise this PR")                    # uses 16384
  claude_agent(task="exhaustive review", max_tokens=64000)  # bigger
  claude_agent(task="ping",              max_tokens=256)    # cheaper

  Typical values:

  Use case	max_tokens
  Short answer / ping	1024
  Summary / routine agent run	4096
  Code generation / long task	8192
  Default (if omitted)	16384
  Exhaustive analysis	32000+

  Upper bound is model-specific (Claude Sonnet 4 — 64k, Opus 4 — 32k, GLM-4.5-Air — 8k, etc.). Pass max_tokens explicitly up to that limit.

Available Tools (Full Server)

Image generation support

generate_image targets the OpenAI /images/generations request shape (model / prompt / n / image_url). Providers that expose the same shape (OpenAI dall-e-3, Grok grok-imagine-image) work out of the box.

Providers with custom image APIs are not currently supported:

• z.ai (glm-image, cogview-4-250304) expects quality / size / user_id at /paas/v4/images/generations, not the OpenAI shape.

• Anthropic-compat endpoints don't expose image generation at all.

For these, use the provider's native HTTP API directly.
