Kimi CLI

About

Moonshot AI built Kimi CLI as a terminal agent that reads and edits code, runs commands, and fetches web pages while planning and adjusting its actions mid-task. It integrates with editors through the Agent Client Protocol (kimi acp for Zed and JetBrains IDEs), a VS Code extension, and a zsh plugin, and its kimi mcp subcommands add stdio or HTTP MCP servers with header or OAuth authentication. The project is Apache-2.0 and installable via pip or uv, but the README states it is being wound down in favor of Kimi Code CLI, the team's next-generation agent; existing configurations and sessions migrate automatically. Developers already using it can continue, while new users are pointed at the successor.
