How to Use Kimi-CC: Free Kimi AI for Claude Code

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

  1. Go to Kimi开放平台

  2. Navigate to: 右上角用户中心 → API Key 管理 → 新建 API Key

  3. 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

  • Model: Uses kimi-k2-0711-preview from Kimi

Troubleshooting

If the install script doesn't work:

  1. Make sure you have Claude Code installed first

  2. Check that your Kimi API key is valid

  3. 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
