Kimi API and MCP: how to connect the code models to your project

Kimi is a family of chat models for code and text. NeuralSpace offers the following models: Kimi K2.6, Kimi K3. They all run through a single public API, and there is a ready MCP server for AI agents. The key is issued on the API keys page.

What Kimi can do

Kimi models are built for vibe coding and text tasks. K2.6 is the proven version for everyday work, K3 is newer and more powerful for complex code and reasoning. Both write and explain code, answer questions and hold conversations.

API endpoint

Send a request to POST /v1/chat/completions. Example: {"model": "kimi-k3", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a script"}]}. Authorization uses an API key in the x-api-key header. Available model ids: kimi-k2.6, kimi-k3.

MCP tools

The NeuralSpace MCP server is available at POST /mcp (Streamable HTTP). To work with Kimi, an agent uses the tools: chat, list_models, get_balance. This lets Claude Code, Cursor and other MCP clients use the site models directly.

How to connect

Sign up on NeuralSpace, open the API keys page and create an nsk-… key. Then pass it in the request header or in your MCP client settings. Full documentation is on the the /v1/docs page.
