3 use cases

  • Run a coding agent Session through the OpenAI SDK

    Install Core and Web, then start a Codex Session from Python using the OpenAI SDK.

    View prompt
    Using the MiniMax-AI/OpenAgentCore repo, install Core and Web on <target machine> and configure a default model and Project API key. Then run the README Python quickstart with OPENAI_BASE_URL set to <API base URL> and confirm it prints a Session ID. Verify that the Session finishes and that /workspace/hello.txt exists in the Session output.

  • Point an existing OpenAI SDK app at self-hosted Core

    Change the base URL and key so an OpenAI SDK app runs agent Sessions on your own Core.

    View prompt
    In the MiniMax-AI/OpenAgentCore repo, follow the README Quickstart to point an existing OpenAI SDK app at a Core installation at <API base URL>. Change only OPENAI_BASE_URL and OPENAI_API_KEY, then run <app test command> and confirm the request returns a Session ID from the self-hosted endpoint.

  • Run agent Sessions on your own Linux, macOS or Windows machine

    Add a personal machine as sandbox capacity so Sessions run on hardware you own.

    View prompt
    Using the MiniMax-AI/OpenAgentCore repo, set up Core and Web on <target machine>, add that machine as sandbox capacity in Web, and start one Session that writes a file to /workspace. Report the Session ID and confirm the file exists on the machine after the Session completes.

How to use Open Agent Core

  1. Check you have what it needs: Docker installed on Linux, macOS or Windows (the installer requires it); A machine where you can run the Core, Web and PostgreSQL installer; A model provider you can configure in Web.
  2. Open MiniMax-AI/OpenAgentCore on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Run curl -fsSL https://openagentcore.dev/install.sh | bash on Linux or macOS, or irm https://github.com/MiniMax-AI/OpenAgentCore/releases/latest/download/install.ps1 | iex in PowerShell on Windows.
  4. Open Web, sign in with the Core key the installer prints, set the public address and a default model.
  5. In Web, issue a Project API key and add sandbox capacity (a node or E2B).
  6. Export the variables: set OPENAI_BASE_URL to your API base URL (for example https://core.example/v1) and OPENAI_API_KEY to the Project API key. (inferred, check the README)

These steps come from our top use case, Run a coding agent Session through the OpenAI SDK, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
