To use kimi-k2.5 in Zed, you need to set the default model in your Kimi CLI config, then configure Zed to connect via ACP:

1. Set default model in ~/.kimi/config.toml:
(See Config Files)

default_model = "kimi-k2-5"
default_thinking = true

2. Configure Zed in ~/.config/zed/settings.json:
(See Using in Zed)

{
  "agent_servers": {
    "Kimi Code CLI": {
      "type": "custom",
      "command": "kimi",
      "args": ["acp"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Zed will use whatever model is set as default_model in your TOML config.

Hello, first of all, the domain name is api.moonshot.ai instead of api.moonshot.api.

And the full chat completion request url could be https://api.moonshot.ai/v1/chat/completions. If you are using OpenAI compatible SDKs, the BASE_URL may consider to be https://api.moonshot.ai/v1.

Secondly, you may use list models to check the models avaiable.

Please visit this document for more information: https://platform.moonshot.ai/docs/api/chat#list-models

Also, I’d like you to know this. If you’re mainly using stuff like zed editor, you might be interested in our Kimi Code Membership.

It offers a monthly plan that includes a bunch of tokens and the model we’re currently recommending for these kinds of scenarios (kimi-for-coding). Also, keep in mind that you’ll need a special key and endpoint.

Check out Kimi Code - Next-Gen AI Code Agent | Automated Programming & CLI for more details.
