Using in Zed

Kimi Code CLI supports integration with IDEs through the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), allowing you to use AI-assisted programming directly within your editor.

Prerequisites

• Kimi Code CLI is installed and kimi /login configuration is completed.
• Zed editor is installed.

Configuration

Zed is a modern IDE that supports ACP.

Add the following to Zed's configuration file ~/.config/zed/settings.json:

{
  "agent_servers": {
    "Kimi Code CLI": {
      "type": "custom",
      "command": "kimi",
      "args": ["acp"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Configuration notes:

• type: Fixed value "custom"
• command: Path to the Kimi Code CLI command. If kimi is not in PATH, use the full path
• args: Startup arguments. acp enables ACP mode
• env: Environment variables, usually left empty

After saving the configuration, you can create Kimi Code CLI sessions in Zed's Agent panel.
