Kimi API Adds Native Support for Claude Code and OpenAI Codex Tools

Moonshot AI has updated the Kimi API to natively support OpenAI's Responses API and Anthropic's Messages API endpoint formats. This update allows developers to connect models such as kimi-k3 and kimi-k2.7-code directly to CLI tools like Claude Code and Codex without local proxy translation layers. By adopting industry-standard API formats from OpenAI and Anthropic, Moonshot AI drastically simplifies integration into popular terminal-based coding agents. This eliminates setup friction for developers looking to leverage Kimi's language and coding models in their existing workflows. The OpenAI-compatible endpoint is available at `https://api.moonshot.cn/v1`, while Anthropic format uses `https://api.moonshot.cn/anthropic`. The OpenAI response endpoint supports text and image inputs, but video input is not natively supported and requires frame extraction via tools like ffmpeg.

## BACKGROUND

Developer tools like Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex CLI are terminal-based coding agents designed to inspect codebases, execute commands, and automate software tasks. Previously, using non-standard model providers with these CLI tools required running custom local proxies to translate API requests into the expected formats.
