Moonshot AI provides metered API access to Kimi models through its Open Platform. This connection is separate from the membership-based Kimi for Coding service.

​
Get an API key

Create a key on the Kimi API Platform keys page. Do not paste a Kimi for Coding membership key here; the two services use different endpoints and billing.

​
Configuration

Add Moonshot AI (Kimi) in Settings > Models and paste the Open Platform key, or configure:
Models use the moonshotai/ prefix. Roomote recommends available Kimi coding models and can map a multimodal model to vision, planning, and review roles.

​
Cost behavior

Open Platform requests draw from the account’s API balance and are billed by model usage. This is independent of any Kimi for Coding membership allowance. Roomote records token usage and estimates cost from model metadata; the Kimi API Platform balance and published pricing are authoritative.

​
Verify setup

  1. save MOONSHOT_API_KEY
  2. confirm Moonshot AI models appear in Settings > Models
  3. enable a moonshotai/... model and assign it to a role
  4. run a small task and confirm usage appears in the Open Platform console

​
Common issues

  • The key is rejected. Confirm it was created at platform.kimi.ai, not in the Kimi Code membership console.
  • The balance does not change as expected. Check that the selected model has the moonshotai/ prefix rather than another gateway’s Kimi model.
  • A model lacks a required capability. Choose a Kimi model that supports the task’s tool calling, context, or image-input requirements.
