Kilo Code

Kilo Code officially supports the OpenAI Compatible provider, so it can connect to this service directly.

1. Install

Official extension page: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=kilocode.kilo-code

If you use VS Code, a direct install path is:

code --install-extension kilocode.kilo-code

If you use Windsurf, VSCodium, or another Open VSX-compatible environment, Kilo's official docs provide the matching marketplace route there as well.

2. Open settings

Open the Kilo Code settings panel and go to provider configuration.

3. Enter connection details

Set API Provider to OpenAI Compatible, then fill in:

• Base URL: https://codex.openai.com/v1
• API key: your codex_... or sk-... key
• Model ID: gpt-5-codex-mini

If the model does not appear automatically, enter it manually.

4. Verify

Save the settings and start a new task to confirm Kilo Code can connect and return responses normally.

Notes

• Kilo Code's official docs use the OpenAI Compatible provider
• Kilo Code also supports full endpoint URLs, but this service does not require that mode
• Use https://codex.openai.com/v1 directly instead of the full /chat/completions endpoint
• Official docs: https://kilo.ai/docs/ai-providers/openai-compatible
