# apifare for Kimi CLI

One prepaid, capped key for every API your agent needs, under hard caps and a kill switch.

1. Get a token: https://apifare.com/start?origin=page:integrations-kimi-cli (shown once).
2. Add this to ~/.kimi/mcp.json. Kimi CLI uses the same format as other MCP clients.

```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apifare": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "apifare-mcp"],
      "env": { "APIPAY_TOKEN": "<your-token>" }
    }
  }
}
```

   Replace <your-token> with your token. Run kimi mcp list, or type /mcp inside Kimi CLI, to see apifare connected.
3. Try it: "search the web for X", then "fetch a URL", then "what's the weather in London".
4. Caps and the kill switch are checked before dispatch. An empty balance returns HTTP 402 with a top-up link (see /errors.md).
