Connect Kimi Code CLI to your task board

Moonshot in the terminal, on your board.

To connect Kimi Code CLI to a task board, add Weft — a task board with an MCP server — to Kimi Code CLI and sign in once. It takes about three minutes and is free for 50 tasks. After that, Kimi Code CLI creates, moves and finishes tasks on your board when you ask.

Weft is the AI task manager for solo founders and small teams.

Moonshot AI's terminal agent. It reads the repo, edits files and runs commands; Weft holds the part a shell session forgets — what is in flight, what is finished, and what is waiting on you.

Kimi Code CLI MCP setup

Kimi Code CLI MCP docs ↗

No client ID to fill in — Kimi registers itself during the OAuth handshake. The entry lands in ~/.kimi/mcp.json (the docs still say ~/.kimi-code/mcp.json). You have five minutes to finish the browser sign-in before Kimi stops waiting for it.

  1. 01

    Create a free Weft account.

    Weft is free for 50 tasks. Pro from $5/seat/month billed yearly.

    Sign up — 60 seconds
  2. 02

    Add Weft to your Kimi Code CLI config.

    bash
    kimi mcp add --transport http --auth oauth weft https://letsweft.com/api/mcp
    MCP endpoint
    https://letsweft.com/api/mcp
  3. 03

    Complete the OAuth popup.

    On first use, Kimi Code CLI opens a browser window so you can authorize with your Weft account. Sign in once — the client remembers you after that.

  4. 04

    Verify it works.

    Run `kimi mcp auth weft` and sign in through the browser, then `kimi mcp test weft` — it answers "Connected" and lists the Weft tools. Inside a session, ask: "what's on my board?".

Try these prompts

Everything below works once you’re connected — Kimi Code CLI picks the right Weft tool on its own.

  • “What's on my board right now?”
  • “File a task for every TODO you just left in the code.”
  • “Start the top task in Todo and report progress as you go.”
  • “What finished work is waiting for my review?”
