Kilo CLI
Kilo CLI can use XycAi through the OpenAI-compatible endpoint and shell environment variables.
One-click setup with our desktop client
Download the XycAi client to install and configure everything automatically — no manual steps needed.
Connection values
Set the endpoint, key, and default model in your shell:
export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://apicdn.xyc.ai/v1"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-xxxxxxxx"
export OPENAI_MODEL="deepseek-v4-pro"
Verify the connection
Start Kilo CLI and run a read-only task to verify authentication, model access, and networking.
Troubleshooting
- In Windows PowerShell, use the $env: syntax instead of export.
- Never expose the key in logs, screenshots, or commits.
