Switching Claude Code between Claude and MiniMax

This repo holds two statusline variants and the config needed to run Claude Code either on a real Anthropic Claude model or on the MiniMax API. This guide is the canonical way to switch between them (and back).

⚠️ Never commit your real API token. The MiniMax setup needs your MiniMax key in ~/.claude/settings.json. Keep that key only in your local settings file — it is config, not code, and must stay out of this repo.

A. Switch to a real Claude model (Anthropic)

Use this when you want Claude Code to run on Claude (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku) via your Anthropic Pro/Max subscription or an Anthropic API key.

  1. Remove the MiniMax env block from ~/.claude/settings.json. That block is what reroutes Claude Code to MiniMax — delete the whole "env": { ... } object that contains ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL, ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, and the MiniMax-M2.7 model overrides. Leave everything else (permissions, hooks, statusLine, enabledPlugins) untouched.

  2. Install the Claude statusline:

    cp claude-statusline/statusline-command.sh ~/.claude/statusline-command.sh
chmod +x ~/.claude/statusline-command.sh

  3. Restart Claude Code, then authenticate:

    • Subscription: run claude, then /login and sign in with your Anthropic account. The bottom bar should stop showing "Not logged in".
    • API key: instead, set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (env var or a fresh env block).

  4. Verify:

    env | grep ANTHROPIC      # should NOT show api.minimax.io or MiniMax-M2.7

    The statusline model field should read a Claude model (e.g. Opus 4.8).

See claude-statusline/ for what the Claude statusline shows.

B. Switch to MiniMax

Use this to route Claude Code through MiniMax's Anthropic-compatible API.

  1. Add the MiniMax env block to ~/.claude/settings.json (full instructions and the exact JSON are in minimax-claude-code/). Put your real MiniMax key in ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN.

  2. Install the MiniMax statusline:

    cp minimax-statusline/statusline-command.sh ~/.claude/statusline-command.sh
chmod +x ~/.claude/statusline-command.sh

    (Requires the mmx CLI for the quota display; without it the quota segment is just omitted.)

  3. Restart Claude Code and verify:

    env | grep ANTHROPIC      # should show api.minimax.io + MiniMax-M2.7

See minimax-statusline/ and minimax-claude-code/ for details.

What differs between the two statuslines

Claude MiniMax
Usage tracking Native rate_limits (5h / 7d), no extra CLI mmx quota (daily / weekly), needs mmx CLI
Extra indicator Effort level (high / xhigh) China peak / off-peak hours
Shared folder · branch · context bar · model · cost same

Tip: keep a local backup of your working config

Before switching, snapshot your live files so you can roll back exactly:

BK=~/.claude/backups/$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
mkdir -p "$BK"
cp ~/.claude/settings.json "$BK/settings.json.bak"
cp ~/.claude/statusline-command.sh "$BK/statusline-command.bak.sh"

Keep that backup folder local — settings.json contains your API token.
