// cómo funciona

Cómo funciona

  1. Clarify your goal

    Make sure you have Kimi/Moonshot access for the models the CLI drives, and decide which projects and MCP servers your sessions will use.

  2. Get the project

    Clone MoonshotAI/kimi-code from GitHub (or use the install path in the run steps below) and skim its README for the parts relevant to your goal.

  3. Install and configure

    Install with the one-line installer script for macOS/Linux (a PowerShell installer is provided for Windows) — no Node.js setup needed for the released binary.

  4. Run your first task

    Start the CLI in a project, run /mcp-config if you need tools, dispatch a small coding task, and try a subagent for exploration.

// características

Por qué gusta tanto

Single-binary distribution

Install with one command — no Node.js setup, PATH juggling or global module conflicts — with a TUI ready in milliseconds.

Video input

Drop a screen recording or demo clip into the chat and let the agent watch what is hard to describe in words.

Built-in subagents

Dispatch coder, explore and plan subagents in isolated contexts while the main conversation stays clean.

AI-native MCP configuration

Add, edit and authenticate MCP servers conversationally with /mcp-config instead of hand-editing JSON.

Plugins with trust levels

Install skills, MCP servers and data sources from a marketplace or any GitHub repo, with each install's trust level shown up front.

Hooks and ACP editor integration

Lifecycle hooks gate risky tool calls, audit decisions or trigger notifications; kimi acp drives sessions from Zed, JetBrains or other ACP clients.

Preguntas frecuentes

Who maintains kimi-code?

MoonshotAI, through the MoonshotAI/kimi-code repository, with docs at kimi.com/code/docs.

Is kimi-code free to use?

Yes — the project is open source under the MIT license as recorded for this listing. You can use, modify and distribute it under the MIT terms.

Does kimi-code need a paid API key?

The CLI drives Kimi models, so you need Moonshot/Kimi account access for model usage; the CLI itself is free and MIT licensed.

How does Kimi Code CLI compare to other terminal coding agents?

It competes on the same turf — terminal agent, tools, subagents — but is built around Kimi models, with distinguishing touches: single-binary install, video input, conversational MCP configuration and ACP editor integration.

How do I get started with kimi-code?

Clone the repository (or use the documented installer), follow the install and configure steps on this page, and run the smallest real task first — start the CLI in a project, run /mcp-config if you need tools, dispatch a small coding task, and try a subagent for exploration.
