View guide →Kimi Code CLI — Moonshot's terminal coding agent: single-binary TUI with video input, subagents and MCP.
kimi-code is an open-source dev tools project by MoonshotAI (MoonshotAI/kimi-code on GitHub). It has 7,801 GitHub stars and 1,280 forks, is released under the MIT license, and was last updated on GitHub on 8 October 2026.
Make sure you have Kimi/Moonshot access for the models the CLI drives, and decide which projects and MCP servers your sessions will use.
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.
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.
Start the CLI in a project, run /mcp-config if you need tools, dispatch a small coding task, and try a subagent for exploration.
Install with one command — no Node.js setup, PATH juggling or global module conflicts — with a TUI ready in milliseconds.
Drop a screen recording or demo clip into the chat and let the agent watch what is hard to describe in words.
Dispatch coder, explore and plan subagents in isolated contexts while the main conversation stays clean.
Add, edit and authenticate MCP servers conversationally with /mcp-config instead of hand-editing JSON.
Install skills, MCP servers and data sources from a marketplace or any GitHub repo, with each install's trust level shown up front.
Lifecycle hooks gate risky tool calls, audit decisions or trigger notifications; kimi acp drives sessions from Zed, JetBrains or other ACP clients.
Get the source from the official GitHub repository for kimi-code.
git clone https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code.git
cd kimi-codeRun the official installer for macOS or Linux as the README's install section shows.
curl -fsSL https://code.kimi.com/kimi-code/install.sh | bashLaunch the CLI in your project and begin an agent session; use /mcp-config inside it to add MCP servers.

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