# Kimi Search
|
|
|
|
OpenClaw supports Kimi as a `web_search` provider, using Moonshot web search
|
|
to produce AI-synthesized answers with citations.
|
|
|
|
## Get an API key
|
|
|
|
<Steps>
|
|
<Step title="Create a key">
|
|
Get an API key from [Moonshot AI](https://platform.moonshot.cn/).
|
|
</Step>
|
|
<Step title="Store the key">
|
|
Set `KIMI_API_KEY` or `MOONSHOT_API_KEY` in the Gateway environment, or
|
|
configure via:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw configure --section web
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</Step>
|
|
</Steps>
|
|
|
|
When you choose **Kimi** during `openclaw onboard` or
|
|
`openclaw configure --section web`, OpenClaw can also ask for:
|
|
|
|
- the Moonshot API region:
|
|
- `https://api.moonshot.ai/v1`
|
|
- `https://api.moonshot.cn/v1`
|
|
- the default Kimi web-search model (defaults to `kimi-k2.5`)
|
|
|
|
## Config
|
|
|
|
```json5
|
|
{
|
|
plugins: {
|
|
entries: {
|
|
moonshot: {
|
|
config: {
|
|
webSearch: {
|
|
apiKey: "sk-...", // optional if KIMI_API_KEY or MOONSHOT_API_KEY is set
|
|
baseUrl: "https://api.moonshot.ai/v1",
|
|
model: "kimi-k2.5",
|
|
},
|
|
},
|
|
},
|
|
},
|
|
},
|
|
tools: {
|
|
web: {
|
|
search: {
|
|
provider: "kimi",
|
|
},
|
|
},
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you use the China API host for chat (`models.providers.moonshot.baseUrl`:
|
|
`https://api.moonshot.cn/v1`), OpenClaw reuses that same host for Kimi
|
|
`web_search` when `tools.web.search.kimi.baseUrl` is omitted, so keys from
|
|
[platform.moonshot.cn](https://platform.moonshot.cn/) do not hit the
|
|
international endpoint by mistake (which often returns HTTP 401). Override
|
|
with `tools.web.search.kimi.baseUrl` when you need a different search base URL.
|
|
|
|
**Environment alternative:** set `KIMI_API_KEY` or `MOONSHOT_API_KEY` in the
|
|
Gateway environment. For a gateway install, put it in `~/.openclaw/.env`.
|
|
|
|
If you omit `baseUrl`, OpenClaw defaults to `https://api.moonshot.ai/v1`.
|
|
If you omit `model`, OpenClaw defaults to `kimi-k2.5`.
|
|
|
|
## How it works
|
|
|
|
Kimi uses Moonshot web search to synthesize answers with inline citations,
|
|
similar to Gemini and Grok's grounded response approach.
|
|
|
|
## Supported parameters
|
|
|
|
Kimi search supports `query`.
|
|
|
|
`count` is accepted for shared `web_search` compatibility, but Kimi still
|
|
returns one synthesized answer with citations rather than an N-result list.
|
|
|
|
Provider-specific filters are not currently supported.
