Kilo Code

Kilo Code is an open-source AI coding agent for VS Code, built on the Kilo CLI. It supports bring-your-own-key providers — including any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — so it works with Router9.

Setup (VS Code extension)

Open the Kilo Code panel, go to Settings, and configure the provider:

1. API Provider — select OpenAI Compatible
2. Base URL — https://api.router9.com/v1
3. API Key — sk-r9k-your-key-here
4. Model — gpt-4o, or enter any model id Router9 routes on

See Kilo's Bring Your Own Key guide for more detail.

Setup (Kilo CLI)

The Kilo CLI shares the same provider configuration. Point the OpenAI-compatible provider at Router9 with your sk-r9k- key, following the AI Providers docs.

Add Skills via MCP

Kilo Code supports MCP servers. Add Router9's hosted MCP server over HTTP:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "router9": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://api.router9.com/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk-r9k-your-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

See Install MCP Server for details.

Tips

• The OpenAI Compatible provider lets you type any model id, so you can use any model Router9 supports.
• Router9's flat monthly pricing keeps Kilo's agentic, multi-step runs predictable — no per-token billing.
• Store the key in the extension's secure settings rather than in committed project files.
