Appearance

kimi acp subcommand ​

The kimi acp command starts a multi-session ACP (Agent Client Protocol) server.

sh
kimi acp

Description ​

ACP is a standardized protocol that allows IDEs and other clients to interact with AI Agents.

Use Cases ​

  • IDE plugin integration (e.g., JetBrains, Zed)
  • Custom ACP client development
  • Multi-session concurrent processing

For using Kimi Code CLI in IDEs, please refer to Using in IDEs.

Authentication ​

The ACP server checks user authentication status before creating or loading sessions. If the user is not logged in, the server returns an AUTH_REQUIRED error (error code -32000) with available authentication method details.

After the client receives this error, it should guide the user to run the kimi login command in the terminal to complete login. Once logged in, subsequent ACP requests will proceed normally.
