Compatible (BYOK)Use Kilo Code with GlideflowAI.
A multi-surface coding agent with a custom-provider workflow. Connect it through GlideflowAI's OpenAI-compatible API with a key you control.
What this connection is for
Kilo Code is an open-source coding agent that can work from an editor, terminal, browser, or mobile surface. Its value is not one fixed workflow: teams can use focused modes, project rules, and provider profiles to shape how the agent reads a codebase and proposes work. It is especially useful for developers who want to switch between an interactive editor task and a more deliberate agent run without changing mental models.
The project exposes a Custom provider route for OpenAI-compatible APIs. A provider can fetch a model list from an endpoint, retain a local model definition, and keep the credential outside the source tree. That is a sensible match for a gateway: the agent configuration names the provider once, while the model remains a choice you can change as a task changes.
Connect Kilo Code to GlideflowAI only through your own provider profile. Start with a short repository task and inspect its tool and token limits before assigning broad autonomous work. Kilo Code's built-in service and GlideflowAI are separate services; choosing a custom provider does not imply that Kilo Code officially recommends this gateway.
Why pair it with GlideflowAI
A custom provider lets Kilo Code call the same gateway key you use in compatible editors and terminal agents.
GlideflowAI publishes its USD pricing and model menu, so the model selected in Kilo Code has a visible route and price context.
Setup
Use a new API key for the tool, select a model from the catalog, and begin with a small task. Do not put a key in a repository, screenshot, or shared configuration file.
Open Providers and create a custom provider
Open Kilo Code Settings, go to Providers, scroll to the bottom of the provider list, and choose Custom provider. Kilo Code documents this as its route for third-party OpenAI-compatible services.
Use the OpenAI Compatible protocol
Give the provider a local name such as GlideflowAI, select OpenAI Compatible, then enter the endpoint and your GlideflowAI key.
Provider API : OpenAI Compatible Base URL : https://api.glideflowai.com/v1 API key : sk-your-keyAdd or select an exact model
After entering a valid URL, Kilo Code can fetch models from a compatible models endpoint. Select glm-5.2 or add its exact ID manually, save, and select the new provider/model pair for the session.
Model : glideflowai/glm-5.2

Frequently asked questions
Can I keep the key out of kilo.jsonc?
Yes. Kilo Code supports its local provider UI and environment references; avoid committing any secret to a project configuration.
Which provider protocol should I choose?
Choose OpenAI Compatible for GlideflowAI's /v1 endpoint, not a provider-specific OpenAI Responses or Anthropic Messages option.
Does model discovery replace model selection?
No. Discovery can populate choices, but you should still select a model deliberately and confirm its exact ID.
Ready to connect Kilo Code?
Create a key, use the setup above, and verify the connection on a small task before you scale it up.
