Kimi Code in Mirasim: a desktop app for Kimi Code CLI, next to your other agents

Run Kimi Code CLI in a desktop app on macOS, Windows or Linux, next to Claude Code and Codex, with your Kimi login, a Kimi API key or Mirasim credit.

Two sessions side by side in Mirasim; the one on the left is about to send its next prompt with Kimi CodeTwo sessions side by side in Mirasim; the one on the left is about to send its next prompt with Kimi Code

The short answer

Kimi Code CLI is Moonshot AI's open-source coding agent. It runs in your terminal and is released under the MIT license. Mirasim is a desktop app that runs that same Kimi Code as one of its ten agents. Mirasim is not an official Moonshot AI application.

A window, not a terminal

With your team
Several people in one Kimi Code session

Use Mirasim when you want Kimi Code in a desktop window, alongside other agents, on your phone, or in a session your team shares.

Your Kimi login, a key, or no account at all

Your Kimi login
You already signed in to Kimi Code. Mirasim runs it with that login and doesn't change it.
A Kimi API key
You have an API key from the Kimi platform. Add it in Model Config; Moonshot bills you.
Mirasim credit
You have no Kimi account. Kimi Code runs on Mirasim credit.

Pick the model for each session in the composer. For what Mirasim credit costs, see mirasim.ai/pricing.

Set it up

  1. Install Kimi Code

    Agent Config runs Moonshot's own installer, or uses the copy you have

  2. Choose how to pay

    Your Kimi login, a Kimi API key, or Mirasim credit

  3. Start a session

    Pick Kimi Code as the agent in the composer

Mirasim keeps Kimi Code up to date with its own kimi upgrade.

To install it yourself, Moonshot's instructions are curl -fsSL https://code.kimi.com/kimi-code/install.sh | bash on macOS and Linux, irm https://code.kimi.com/kimi-code/install.ps1 | iex in Windows PowerShell (install Git for Windows first), or npm install -g @moonshot-ai/kimi-code with Node.js 22.19.0 or later. Then run /login inside Kimi Code and choose Kimi Code OAuth or a Kimi platform API key.

Questions

Is Mirasim an official Kimi Code app?
No. Kimi Code is Moonshot AI's; it runs in your terminal and connects to Zed and JetBrains IDEs through ACP. Mirasim is a separate desktop app that runs Kimi Code alongside other coding agents.
Do I need a Kimi account?
Not in Mirasim. Without one, Kimi Code runs on Mirasim credit. With your own login or API key, Moonshot bills you.
Will Mirasim change my Kimi Code setup?
No. It runs the Kimi Code installed on your computer with the login you already made, and leaves your credentials as they are.
Does it work on Windows?
Yes. Mirasim runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. On Windows, Moonshot asks you to install Git for Windows before Kimi Code's first launch.
How much does it cost?
Kimi Code itself is free and open source. With your own login or key you pay Moonshot; for Mirasim credit, see mirasim.ai/pricing.
