Use Redline in Kilo Code

Kilo Code, a descendant of Roo and Cline, lets you add a custom OpenAI Compatible provider and will auto-fetch the model list from the gateway's /v1/models.

Add a custom provider

In Settings, open the Providers tab, click Custom provider and fill in:

• Provider API: OpenAI Compatible
• Base URL: https://redline-gateway.pages.dev/v1
• API key: your key

Kilo queries https://redline-gateway.pages.dev/v1/models and offers a searchable model picker, so you rarely type an id by hand. For the CLI, define the provider in kilo.json:

{
  "provider": {
    "redline": {
      "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "https://redline-gateway.pages.dev/v1",
        "apiKey": "{env:REDLINE_API_KEY}"
      },
      "models": {
        "deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3.1": {
          "name": "DeepSeek Chat v3.1",
          "limit": { "context": 163840, "output": 8192 }
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "model": "redline/deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3.1"
}

For agentic editing, pick a tool-capable model; the limits shape how Kilo manages context.
