Kimi Code CLI Configuration Guide
¶ 1. Obtain API Key
Open the Lingxi AI Plaza application list, access the available applications, and copy the API Key.
¶ 2. Install Kimi Code
macOS / Linux：
curl -fsSL https://code.kimi.com/kimi-code/install.sh | bash
Windows PowerShell：
irm https://code.kimi.com/kimi-code/install.ps1 | iex
You can also install via npm:
npm install -g @moonshot-ai/kimi-code
¶ 3. Configure Lingxi AI Plaza
Edit ~/.kimi/config.toml and add the following configuration:
default_model = "acedatacloud/MODEL_ID"
[providers.acedatacloud]
type = "openai"
base_url = "https://api.acedata.cloud/v1"
api_key = "your API Key"
[models."acedatacloud/MODEL_ID"]
provider = "acedatacloud"
model = "MODEL_ID"
Replace the two instances of MODEL_ID with the same model ID currently provided by Coding Plan. type = "openai" uses the OpenAI Chat Completions protocol.
The configuration file contains the Key, and it is recommended to restrict permissions on macOS / Linux:
chmod 600 ~/.kimi/config.toml
¶ 4. Verify and Start
kimi doctor
kimi provider list
kimi -p "Reply only OK"
After entering the project, run kimi to start using it. If it returns 401, check the API Key; if it prompts model not found, ensure that default_model, the model table name, and the model field use the same ID.
