Moonshot AI
Moonshot AI's MIT-licensed terminal coding agent and member coding backend for Claude Code, Roo Code and other compatible agents.
Quick answer
The public repository confirms that Kimi Code is an installable MIT-licensed agent platform, while the K2.7 Code resource confirms its current default hosted coding model.
Kimi Code CLI is Moonshot AI's open-source terminal coding agent. It can read and edit code, run shell commands, search files, fetch web pages and choose next actions from tool feedback. The single-binary CLI works with Kimi Code OAuth or a Moonshot AI Open Platform API key and can also use compatible providers. Kimi Code membership benefits can additionally serve third-party tools: the official guide configures Claude Code through an Anthropic-compatible endpoint and Roo Code through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, while also naming OpenCode, OpenClaw and Hermes as compatible paths. Kimi K2.7 Code is the default thinking model; third-party calls require Thinking mode to reach K2.7 Code, otherwise they route to K2.6. The broader CLI feature set includes video input, conversational MCP configuration, a plugin marketplace with surfaced trust levels, isolated coder/explore/plan subagents, lifecycle hooks for approval and auditing, and Agent Client Protocol integration for Zed, JetBrains and other ACP clients.

Editorial verdict
Developers who want a fast open terminal agent with multimodal coding context, parallel subagents and editor integration.
Avoid enabling broad command, plugin or repository access before defining approvals, hooks, audit logs and provider data boundaries.
The public repository confirms that Kimi Code is an installable MIT-licensed agent platform, while the K2.7 Code resource confirms its current default hosted coding model.
MIT-licensed CLI; annual-billing Kimi Code plans are listed at $15, $31, $79 and $159 per month, with model usage also possible through API billing or configured providers

Commercial use should follow the current product, API, model license and billing terms.
Review prompt, file, media upload, retention and training-use terms before sensitive workloads.
Use the TUI for repository exploration, code changes, shell commands and iterative tool-driven implementation.
Use Kimi Code when you want K2.7 Code as a productized terminal or IDE coding model rather than raw API access.
Use the documented Anthropic-compatible route for Claude Code or the OpenAI-compatible route for Roo Code; the guide also names OpenCode, OpenClaw and Hermes.
Attach a screen recording or demo when visual behavior is easier to show than describe.
Dispatch coder, explore and plan subagents into isolated contexts while preserving the main conversation.
Run `kimi acp` so Zed, JetBrains or another ACP client can drive the logged-in CLI session.
Pair with Kimi WebBridge when a local coding agent needs Chrome or Edge automation with existing login sessions.
Checked against stable repository version 0.36.1 on August 17, 2026. Newer main-branch work is not treated as released; CLI features, plans, endpoints and provider compatibility can still change quickly.
