## In brief
Kimi Code is Moonshot AI’s developer offering for local software projects. The agent reads code, edits files, executes commands and helps review results. A macOS and Windows desktop app, the current Node.js CLI and a VS Code extension provide different interfaces to the same service. Other editors can connect through ACP; MCP, skills and plugins extend workflows.


## Limits
Install the official client or editor extension and sign in with your Kimi account. Choose an appropriate coding plan, open the project and describe a bounded task. Review file changes and command output before accepting the work. A coding API key is documented for other development tools; general product APIs use the separate Kimi Platform.
