Kilo Code is an open-source (MIT) AI coding agent available as a VS Code extension, JetBrains plugin, and CLI, with cloud agents and a model gateway offering 500+ models at provider cost. It provides chat-driven and autocomplete coding workflows, custom modes and rules, MCP integrations, and automatic model routing.
Use cases
- ai coding assistant in vs code
- refactor code with an llm agent
- automate code reviews with ai
- route coding tasks to the cheapest capable model
- migrate rules from cursor or windsurf
- run coding agents in the terminal cli
- bring your own api keys for ai coding
When to choose
- you want an open-source, MIT-licensed alternative to Cursor or Windsurf
- you need one agent across VS Code, JetBrains, and the CLI
- you want model flexibility with 500+ models, BYOK, or local models without markup
- you want MCP support and custom agent modes and rules
When to avoid
- you prefer a fully offline tool with no AI inference costs or accounts
- you need a lightweight autocomplete-only assistant without agent features
- you dislike vendor gateways or subscription credit systems
