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
