Overview

Kimi CLI is a terminal-based AI agent from MoonshotAI that helps developers complete software development tasks and terminal operations by reading and editing code, executing shell commands, searching the web, and autonomously planning actions. Its core value proposition is providing an all-in-one AI assistant that combines coding agent capabilities with a shell environment, IDE integration via ACP, and MCP tool support.

Installation

What You Can Build

Developers can build and manage full software projects: write and edit code, run shell commands, search the web for documentation or APIs, and orchestrate complex multi-step workflows (e.g., debugging, deployment). With MCP support, the agent can integrate external tools like Chrome DevTools or Linear. The VS Code extension and ACP integration allow it to work inside popular IDEs, making it suitable for both terminal-centric and GUI-centric developers. The ceiling includes autonomous software engineering tasks where the agent plans, executes, and adjusts actions across code, shell, and web resources.
