About

Kimi Code is Moonshot AI's agentic coding harness for its Kimi models. The current product is Kimi Code CLI, a terminal agent that replaces the earlier Python-based Kimi CLI, which has been archived and is no longer maintained. A VS Code extension is also available.

The agent can read and edit code, run shell commands, search and fetch web pages, and plan and adjust its actions while working. The legacy CLI supported MCP servers, the Agent Client Protocol (for editors such as Zed and JetBrains), a shell command mode and Zsh integration. According to a creator review, the new version offers model selection, thinking mode, plan mode, multiple simultaneous projects, and verification of work through browser screenshots.

It is installed via a shell script, Homebrew or npm, and users log in with /login. A migration command (kimi migrate) imports config, MCP servers, history and sessions from the legacy CLI, but not login credentials. Pricing and plan details were not in the provided material.
