Kilo Code includes a VS Code extension and a separate CLI. This page covers only the extension. Use an OpenAI-compatible integration with routing.run’s base URL and route/… model IDs. UI details follow Kilo’s OpenAI-compatible integration docs.
For the terminal agent, see Kilo Code CLI.
Before you start, create an API key at app.routing.run under API Keys. Copy the full secret. It starts with rk_.

​
VS Code extension

1

Install Kilo Code

Install Kilo Code from the Visual Studio Marketplace, or search Kilo Code in the VS Code Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X).
2

Open Kilo Code settings

Open Kilo Code from the activity bar, then open Settings (gear). Find the model or API section for OpenAI-compatible or custom provider integrations.
3

Add routing.run as a custom provider

Set:
  • Provider name: routing.run if the UI offers a name field
  • Base URL (or API base): https://api.routing.run/v1 — no trailing slash
  • API Key: your full rk_… secret
  • Model: a route/… id your plan allows (for example route/glm-5.1)

​
Manual configuration

If you want to fill the Kilo Code extension settings manually, use these exact values:
FieldValue
Provider namerouting.run if the UI offers a name field
Provider typeOpenAI-compatible
Base URLhttps://api.routing.run/v1
API Keyrk_REPLACE_ME
Modelroute/glm-5.1
Keep the route/ prefix on model ids. If Kilo lets you save multiple providers, name this one routing.run so you can switch back without re-entering values. Plan tier and access are authoritative on GET https://api.routing.run/v1/models with your rk_ key. The full list is on the models page; common picks:
ModelUse case
route/deepseek-v3.2General-purpose chat (matches most doc examples)
route/glm-5.1Reasoning and coding
