What is Kilo Code?

Kilo Code is an all-in-one agentic engineering platform that brings AI-powered coding assistance directly to your IDE and CLI. When integrated with the Unbound Security AI Gateway, all AI requests from Kilo Code are securely routed through Unbound, enabling centralized guardrails, observability, and provider routing.

​
Prerequisites

Before setting up the integration, ensure you have:
  • IDE with Kilo Code extension installed (or)
  • Python 3.8+ installed (for CLI)
  • Node.js: Version 20 or higher installed (for CLI)
  • Unbound Application: A configured application in your Unbound Security dashboard
  • Unbound API Key: Generated from your application settings

​
