🔍 MCP Server | AI 智能体接口

Exposes get_kimi_usage to any MCP-compatible AI Agent. 让你的 AI 助手能够主动感知你的额度状态。

Compatible with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Hermes, and any MCP-enabled agent.

Add to your MCP config (e.g., ~/.claude/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kimi-code-usage": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "kimi-code-usage", "kimi-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "KIMI_API_KEY": "YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: The MCP server still needs --from because kimi-mcp is a separate command from the default kimi-code-usage entry point.

Then simply ask your AI: "Check my Kimi quota." / "帮我查一下 Kimi 用量。"
