How to Use Kilo Code with Puter

On this page

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to set up Kilo Code with Puter so you can access hundreds of AI models right from your code editor. Kilo Code is an autonomous AI coding agent (originally forked from Cline) that integrates directly into your editor, and because Puter provides an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, connecting the two only takes a few steps.

Prerequisites

Puter copy auth token

Step 1: Install Kilo Code

Kilo Code is available for several editors. This tutorial uses VS Code as an example, but the setup works the same way in any supported editor.

Follow the installation instructions for your editor. Once Kilo Code is installed, open it from your sidebar.

Step 2: Open the Settings

In the Kilo Code panel, click the settings icon to access the provider settings.

Step 3: Set Up the API Provider

You'll see an API Provider dropdown in the settings. Choose OpenAI Compatible from the list.

Select OpenAI Compatible as API provider in Kilo Code

Enter the following values:

  • Base URL: https://api.puter.com/puterai/openai/v1/
  • API Key: Your Puter auth token (copied from the dashboard)
  • Model: The model you'd like to use, for example gpt-5.3-codex

Puter supports a wide range of models. Here are some good options for coding:

Model Name Model
GPT-5.3 Codex gpt-5.3-codex
Claude Sonnet 4.6 claude-sonnet-4-6

Browse the complete list on the supported AI models page.

Step 4: Start Coding

You're all set. Use Kilo Code as you normally would — send a message in the chat panel and it will respond using the Puter model you selected.

Ask it to generate code, debug issues, explain files, refactor functions, and anything else you'd normally use an AI coding agent for.

Switching Models

To use a different model, head back to the settings and update the Model field. Puter gives you access to hundreds of models through one endpoint, so you can freely switch between GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and others without reconfiguring anything else.

Conclusion

Setting up Kilo Code with Puter is straightforward: select OpenAI Compatible as the provider, enter Puter's base URL (https://api.puter.com/puterai/openai/v1/), and use your Puter auth token as the API key. From there you have access to hundreds of AI models through a single account, all within your editor.
