Details

Kimi Code CLI, developed by Moonshot AI, is an AI coding agent that operates in the terminal environment. This tool not only reads and modifies code, but also executes shell commands, searches files, and fetches web pages, deciding its next steps on its own based on feedback.

Key features include:

  • Single binary distribution: It can be installed easily with a single command without requiring Node.js installation, making environment setup very fast.
  • Powerful TUI and video input: It provides an optimized terminal UI, and is capable of tasks such as converting screen recording videos into code when given as input.
  • MCP and plugin ecosystem: Model Context Protocol (MCP) can be configured interactively, and various skills and data sources can be extended through the marketplace or GitHub.
  • Agent collaboration and integration: It performs parallel tasks using sub-agents such as coder, explore, and plan, and integrates with IDEs like Zed and JetBrains via the Agent Client Protocol (ACP).
