Run Kimi CLI on your own always-on machine

Kimi CLI is Moonshot AI's coding agent. It is installed on every machine as part of the build, in the same persistent session as the other agents.

How it arrives

On the machine
Installed as part of the build
How you run it
A command line tool — you run it in a terminal tab

We did not write Kimi CLI. It is MoonshotAI/kimi-cli. We install it on every machine and put it behind the login.

Unattended by default

The machine is a real VM that keeps running when you close the tab. A process you start does not stop because your laptop slept, your train went into a tunnel, or you switched to your phone.

Alongside the others

It shares the machine, the filesystem and the toolchain with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and Gemini CLI.
