# Kimi CLI

[← back to overview](index.md)

> **Source of truth:** [Kimi CLI's repo](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-cli) for config keys; the [overview](index.md) for the gateway endpoint and context size. If this page disagrees with them, they win.

Kimi CLI speaks plain **OpenAI Chat Completions**. Configure a provider block in its config file (`config.toml`):

```toml
[providers.openai]
type = "openai"
base_url = "http://<server>:<OMNIROUTE_API_PORT>/v1"
api_key = "<kimi-cli API key>"
```

If Kimi CLI's response parsing gets confused by Qwen's `<think>...</think>` reasoning tags, check its `reasoning_key` setting — it's configurable for non-standard local server responses.
