How to Run Kimi K3 in Claude Code, Cursor, and Cline via LLM Gateway
Kimi K3, which topped Arena's Frontend Code evaluation at launch and supports a 1M-token context, is not natively available in popular coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, or Cline. LLM Gateway solves this by acting as a middleware that speaks both Anthropic and OpenAI API formats, letting developers route requests to Kimi K3 with a simple base-URL change. In Claude Code, three environment variables redirect traffic to the gateway; in Cursor, the model can be added via the custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint settings, though only the chat and plan panels are supported. Cline offers the most complete integration, running its full agent loop — including file edits and terminal commands — on K3 after configuring the provider details in VS Code. LLM Gateway offers both a flat-rate DevPass subscription and pay-as-you-go credits priced at Moonshot's published rates plus a 5% platform fee.
