Kimi MCP Server

x51xxx/kimi-mcp-server

Bridges MCP clients to Moonshot AI's Kimi Code CLI, letting you invoke Kimi's coding agents without leaving your editor. Wraps the native CLI flags (sessions, multi-root workspaces, MCP passthrough) and adds structured tools: ask-kimi for file analysis with @path references and session resume, batch-kimi for parallel task execution, review-changes for git diff code review, and brainstorm for structured ideation modes. Uses the same working directory inference chain as codex-mcp-tool (argument, env var, @path, process cwd). Useful when you want Kimi K2.6's agent orchestration and 262k context as a sub-agent inside Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any stdio MCP client. Requires Kimi CLI installed and authenticated via /login or MOONSHOT_API_KEY.

Readme

Kimi MCP Server

MCP server (stdio) that bridges Claude / Cursor / any MCP client to Moonshot AI's Kimi Code CLI.

Architecture mirrors @trishchuk/codex-mcp-tool — same patterns, adapted to Kimi's flag surface (--print, --quiet, -r, --continue, --add-dir, --mcp-config-file, --config).

Why

Kimi K2.6 (April 2026) is a 1T-parameter MoE open-weight model with native agent-swarm orchestration, 262k context, and SWE-Bench Pro on par with GPT-5.5. Kimi Code CLI is the reference agent harness. This server lets MCP-aware editors call Kimi as a sub-agent without leaving their primary interface.

Install

npm install -g @trishchuk/kimi-mcp-server

You also need Kimi Code CLI:

curl -LsSf https://code.kimi.com/install.sh | bash
# OR
uv tool install --python 3.13 kimi-cli

Then run kimi once and use /login to authenticate via the Kimi Code platform — or set MOONSHOT_API_KEY.

Configure (Claude Desktop / Cursor / Claude Code)
