Using Grok in Kilo Code

Kilo Code, an open-source agentic engineering platform, now supports direct use of Grok models. Kilo Code supports VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and the terminal, providing professional software engineering workflows including planning, coding, debugging, and orchestration.

X Premium+ or SuperGrok subscribers can connect their account to use the latest Grok models without a separate API key. This includes the Grok Build model, which is specialized for agentic coding.

Setup instructions vary depending on the environment:

• VS Code: After installing the extension, select xAI in the Providers tab of the settings and complete OAuth authentication. (For remote environments such as VPS or SSH, use the Headless option)
• CLI: Install @kilocode/cli, then run the kilo command in your project directory and use the /connect command to add xAI.
