FAQ

What should I do if I get an 'invalid api key' error?

Ensure your API key and API host are regionally aligned. Use https://api.minimax.io for Global region and https://api.minimaxi.com for Mainland region, with corresponding keys from each platform.

How do I fix 'spawn uvx ENOENT' error?

Check the absolute path of uvx by running 'which uvx' in your terminal, then update your configuration with this full path instead of just 'uvx'.
