Connect Kilo CLI and OpenCode

Kilo CLI is a fork of OpenCode , so both connect to Fortytwo the same way. Only the commands and the config file differ.

Before you start: create a Fortytwo API key and buy credits — see Quickstart, step 1. Give each agent its own key with a Spend limit.

Setting	Value
Base URL	`https://api.fortytwo.network/v1`
Model ID	`qwen/qwen3.8-27b`

Kilo CLI
OpenCode

Install Kilo CLI

npm install -g @kilocode/cli

Add Fortytwo to the config

Open ~/.config/kilo/kilo.jsonc and add the fortytwo provider. For a new file:

~ is your home folder. Folders that start with a dot, such as .pi, .config or .codex, are hidden. To show them: Cmd+Shift+. in Finder on macOS, View → Show → Hidden items in File Explorer on Windows, Ctrl+H in most Linux file managers.

~/.config/kilo/kilo.jsonc

{
  "$schema": "https://app.kilo.ai/config.json",
  "provider": {
    "fortytwo": {
      "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
      "name": "Fortytwo",
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "https://api.fortytwo.network/v1"
      },
      "models": {
        "qwen/qwen3.8-27b": {
          "name": "Qwen3.8 27B",
          "reasoning": true,
          "tool_call": true,
          "limit": { "context": 262144, "output": 16384 }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

If the file has other settings, add fortytwo inside its provider object. If you set up Kilo Code in VS Code, Fortytwo is already in this file: skip this step.

Connect Fortytwo

Start Kilo in your project folder:

kilo

Type /connect, search for Fortytwo and select it.
Paste your API key and press Enter. The field shows the key as plain text, so do not share your screen at this moment.
Kilo opens the model list. Choose Qwen3.8 27B.
In Select variant, choose medium to turn on reasoning. The prompt shows Qwen3.8 27B Fortytwo · medium.

Start a task

Type a task and press Enter. Kilo may ask before it runs a command; choose Allow once or Allow always. To change the model later, type /models; to change the reasoning level, type /variants.

Install OpenCode

curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/v2/install | bash

Open a new terminal window when the installer finishes: the opencode command works only there. Other install options: OpenCode on GitHub .

Add Fortytwo to the config

Open ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json and add the fortytwo provider. For a new file:

~/.config/opencode/opencode.json

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "provider": {
    "fortytwo": {
      "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
      "name": "Fortytwo",
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "https://api.fortytwo.network/v1"
      },
      "models": {
        "qwen/qwen3.8-27b": {
          "name": "Qwen3.8 27B",
          "reasoning": true,
          "tool_call": true,
          "limit": { "context": 262144, "output": 16384 }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

If the file has other settings, add fortytwo inside its provider object.

Connect Fortytwo

Start OpenCode in your project folder:

opencode

Type /connect, search for Fortytwo and select it.
Paste your API key and press Enter. OpenCode shows Connected Fortytwo.
OpenCode opens the model list. Choose Qwen3.8 27B.
In Select variant, choose medium to turn on reasoning.

The prompt shows Qwen3.8 27B Fortytwo · medium.

The model ID inside these tools is fortytwo/qwen/qwen3.8-27b: the provider ID, then the Fortytwo model ID. More options: Kilo custom models , OpenCode custom provider .
