Kilo Code (gateway)

Route Kilo Code’s LLM calls through the Respan gateway for automatic logging, caching, and model switching. Kilo Code ships an OpenAI Compatible provider, so only your RESPAN_API_KEY is needed.

Setup

1

Install Kilo Code

Install the Kilo Code extension from the VS Code Marketplace (or your editor’s extension panel), then open it from the sidebar.

2

Add Respan as a custom provider

  1. Click the gear icon to open Kilo Code Settings and go to the Providers tab.
  2. Scroll to the bottom and click Custom provider.
  3. Fill in the dialog:
    • Provider ID: respan
    • Display name: Respan Gateway
    • Provider API: OpenAI Compatible
    • Base URL: https://api.respan.ai/api
    • API key: YOUR_RESPAN_API_KEY
    • Models: add gpt-4o (or select from the auto-fetched list)
  4. Click Submit to save.

No separate provider key needed. The Respan gateway handles provider authentication.

3

Start coding

Select your Respan provider and model in the chat panel. All LLM calls now route through Respan.

Switch models

Add more model IDs to the provider and pick a different one from the model dropdown to use any of the 250+ models available through the gateway.
