- 01
Install the foundation

- 02
Choose the client
Select Kimi Code CLI; WPPilot presents the supported connection methods and client-specific guidance.
- 03
Choose authentication

- 04
Add the generated config
Add the generated remote server with kimi mcp add or place it in Kimi's MCP configuration file.
- 05
Authorize deliberately
Use a dedicated WordPress identity with the smallest role and WPPilot safety profile the workflow needs.
- 06
Verify read-only
Discover tools, inspect one schema, read a non-sensitive object, and review the result before enabling writes.
Authentication detail
Direct remote OAuth is supported.
Kimi Code CLI is in WPPilot's native OAuth client group. It can complete a browser-based authorization against the remote MCP endpoint through its supported flow.
Connection methods in the registry
- OAuth 2.1
- Access token
- Application Password
Kimi Code CLI specifics: Servers live in ~/.kimi/mcp.json, or can be added with kimi mcp add.
Do not copy a generic secret from a public guide. Generate the connection on your site, keep credentials out of source control, and revoke unused credentials in WordPress.
First useful test
Ask Kimi Code CLI for evidence, not broad authority.
A short read-only exercise proves the endpoint, credentials, tool discovery, schema lookup, permissions, and response path without changing the site.
- Report the active WPPilot safety profile
- List the abilities currently available to this credential
- Inspect the schema for one read-only content ability
- Read one non-sensitive page or post
- Name the WordPress object and fields used in the answer
- Do not write, publish, delete, or invoke developer tools
- Report any connection or permission error exactly
