MiniMax Code launches Mini App runtime with hosted MCP and open-source repository

MiniMax launched Mini App in the MiniMax Code desktop app, a plugin-format application with a frontend and a Node.js backend that keeps the Agent's work on a page that stays live instead of scattered across conversations. The release includes a runtime with a persistent data directory, hosted MCP, the Agent API, Host Connectors and in-page tool approvals, plus /miniapp-creator for going from a one-sentence request to a working page and official Mini Apps in the plugin marketplace. MiniMax Bot is itself a Mini App, and its source code along with community-built Mini Apps now lives in the open-source MiniMax-Code-MiniApps repository; Mini Apps are available in local sessions on macOS and Windows.
