Moonshot open-sources Kimi Code CLI, a terminal coding agent that reads video and sets up MCP by chat

Moonshot AI open-sourced Kimi Code CLI, a terminal coding agent that can ingest a screen recording/video and generate code from what it sees.
Key points highlighted in the repo and post:
- Conversational MCP setup: you can type /mcp-config and add servers by chatting instead of editing JSON by hand.
- Isolated subagents: built-in coder, explore, and plan agents run in separate context windows so the main conversation stays cleaner.
- It works with Kimi models by default, but can also be configured for other compatible providers.
The post frames this as an example of features emerging across open-source coding agents, regardless of which tool you use.
