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.
