KimiCodeProvider
A pi-coding-agent extension that adds support for Kimi Code API (Moonshot's coding-optimized API endpoint).
This extension registers a moonshot provider with all available Kimi models, allowing you to use Kimi's coding API with configurable base URL and User-Agent.
Installation
pi install npm:kimicodeprovider
For project-local installation:
pi install npm:kimicodeprovider -l
Configuration
1. API Key (Required)
Set your Moonshot API key as an environment variable:
export MOONSHOT_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
Add this to your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc.) to make it persistent.
2. Start Using Kimi Models
Once installed and the API key is set, restart pi and the Kimi models will appear in the model selector:
pi
Then press Ctrl+L to open the model selector and choose any Kimi model.
Or specify directly via command line:
pi --provider moonshot --model kimi-for-coding
Available Models
After installation, these models will be available in pi:
| Model | Best For | Context | Max Tokens | Reasoning | Vision |

kimi-for-coding |
Coding tasks | 262K | 32K | Yes | No |

Advanced Configuration
Custom Base URL
By default, this extension uses the Kimi Code API endpoint: https://api.kimi.com/coding/v1
To use a custom endpoint (e.g., proxy or enterprise deployment):
export KIMI_BASE_URL="https://your-custom-endpoint.com/coding"
The extension automatically handles URL formatting:
- If URL ends with
/coding, it appends/v1 - If URL ends with
/coding/, it appendsv1
Custom User-Agent
export KIMI_USER_AGENT="YourApp/1.0"
Default: KimiCLI/1.3
Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|

Troubleshooting
Kimi models not showing in selector:
- Run
/reloadin pi to refresh extensions - Verify the extension is installed:
pi list - Check that
MOONSHOT_API_KEYis set:echo $MOONSHOT_API_KEY
API errors:
