Kimi-CC is a simple tool that lets you use Kimi's AI model with Claude Code instead of Anthropic's models. It's completely free - you just need a Kimi API key.
What Kimi-CC Actually Does
Kimi-CC replaces Claude Code's default AI model with Kimi's latest model (kimi-k2-0711-preview). It's not a separate CLI tool, but rather a configuration layer for Claude Code.
Installation
Step 1: Get Your Kimi API Key
- Go to Kimi开放平台
- Navigate to: 右上角用户中心 → API Key 管理 → 新建 API Key
- Copy your API key
Step 2: Install Kimi-CC
Run this single command to install and configure Kimi-CC:
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LLM-Red-Team/kimi-cc/refs/heads/main/install.sh)"
The installer will:
- Ask for your Kimi API key
- Configure Claude Code to use Kimi's model
- Set everything up automatically
Step 3: Start Using Claude Code
That's it! Now just run Claude Code as usual:
claude
Claude Code will now use Kimi's AI model instead of Anthropic's.
Important Notes
- Free: Uses your Kimi API key, which has generous free limits
- No Additional Features: This only changes the underlying AI model, doesn't add new Claude Code features
- Same Interface: You'll use Claude Code exactly as before

Troubleshooting
If the install script doesn't work:
- Make sure you have Claude Code installed first
- Check that your Kimi API key is valid
- Try running the install script again
Limitations
- Requires existing Claude Code installation
- Only changes the AI model, not Claude Code's functionality
- Still subject to Kimi's API rate limits
