Kilo Code is an open-source coding agent for VS Code and JetBrains. Use its OpenAI Compatible provider to run it on Claudech.
Before you start#
- A Claudech API key from API keys. API access unlocks after your first purchase.
- A model id from Models, for example
claude-opus-5-5.

| API Provider | OpenAI Compatible |
| Base URL | https://api.claudech.com/v1 |
| API Key | your sk-... key |
| Model | claude-opus-5-5 (or any Claudech model id) |
Set the context window to 1000000 and enable image input. Save, select the configuration and start a task.
Choosing a model#
