Kilo Console

A local, browser-based console for the Kilo CLI. Manage projects, sessions, terminals, agents, models, MCP servers, and settings from one desktop-style UI — no editor extension required.

Key Benefits

One command (`kilo console`) starts a local daemon and opens the UI in your browser
Visual project console with worktree navigation, sessions, and embedded terminals
Manage global and project settings without hand-editing JSON/JSONC
Configure providers, models, agents, MCP servers, formatters, LSPs, and keybinds in one place
Hot reload — theme, keybind, and permission changes apply to active CLI/TUI sessions
Omni Search with Cmd/Ctrl+K for instant navigation
Agent Builder with markdown preview, tool access, and permission rule editing

Use Cases

1
Running the Kilo CLI as a long-running local service without a VS Code or JetBrains extension
2
Managing multiple worktrees, sessions, and terminals from a single window
3
Editing global and project configuration with full source visibility (project / global / system / default)
4
Browsing models, configuring providers, and managing API keys in a UI instead of config files
5
Building and tweaking custom agents with a guided editor and live markdown preview
6
Installing and managing MCP servers from the marketplace without manual config

About Kilo Console

Kilo Console turns the Kilo CLI into a long-running local workspace service with a visual project console. A single command starts the local daemon and opens a desktop-style UI in your browser: navigate projects and worktrees, attach to embedded terminals, edit global and project configuration, manage providers, models, agents, MCP servers, formatters, LSPs, keybinds, and notifications. Settings hot-reload into active CLI/TUI sessions, and Omni Search (Cmd/Ctrl+K) jumps anywhere instantly.
