kimi

A command that changes Claude Code's AI provider to Kimi, Moonshot's model service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding a Kimi API key and updating Claude Code's settings to use Kimi K2.5.
Why use it?
It applies the required provider address, models, and API key settings instead of making you edit them by hand.

Command

Part of the switch-provider plugin — 6 commands shipped together

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add commands/kossakovsky/cc-plugins/kimi
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/kossakovsky/cc-plugins

Or install switch-provider, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 6 commands.

Per session 9 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 461 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan B 1 finding. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

kimi scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

What it actually says

Switch to Kimi

Switch Claude Code to use Kimi (Moonshot) as the AI provider.

Provider Config

  • ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL: https://api.moonshot.cn/anthropic
  • ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL: kimi-k2.5
  • ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL: kimi-k2.5
  • ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL: kimi-k2.5
  • ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL: kimi-k2.5

Steps

  1. Resolve API key (in order of priority): a. If an argument was provided, use it as the API key b. Read ~/.claude/provider-keys.json — if it exists and has a kimi key, use it c. Read ~/.claude/settings.json — if env.ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN exists and env.ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL contains moonshot, reuse the existing key d. If no key found, ask the user to provide their Kimi API key

  2. Read ~/.claude/settings.json using the Read tool

  3. Update the env section with:

    {
      "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "<resolved-api-key>",
      "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://api.moonshot.cn/anthropic",
      "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL": "kimi-k2.5",
      "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL": "kimi-k2.5",
      "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL": "kimi-k2.5",
      "ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL": "kimi-k2.5"
    }
    
  4. Write the updated settings back to ~/.claude/settings.json

  5. Confirm the switch and tell the user: Restart Claude Code to apply changes.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

kimi is a command published in the GitHub repository kossakovsky/cc-plugins (3 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 461 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
