Kilo Code setup

Kilo Code connects through its custom OpenAI-compatible provider.

export LUMOSWITCH_API_KEY="your-lumoswitch-access-key"

Add this to Kilo's kilo.jsonc:

{
  "$schema": "https://app.kilo.ai/config.json",
  "model": "openai-compatible/your-client-facing-model-name",
  "provider": {
    "openai-compatible": {
      "options": {
        "apiKey": "{env:LUMOSWITCH_API_KEY}",
        "baseURL": "https://api.lumoswitch.com/v1"
      },
      "models": {
        "your-client-facing-model-name": {
          "name": "Lumoswitch model",
          "tool_call": true
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

The UI offers the same setup under Providers → Custom provider. Kilo can discover models when the endpoint exposes /v1/models.

Set tool_call: true only for a capable model, and add accurate context/output limits when known.
