What feature would you like to see?
/plugins install currently only supports public HTTPS URLs — downloads go through github.com redirects and codeload.github.com with no authentication mechanism. This makes it impossible to install plugins (or host a marketplace) from private GitHub repositories, which blocks company-internal plugin distribution.
Either of these would unblock the use case:
- SSH URLs (
git@github.com:org/repo.git) using the user's existing git credentials
- HTTPS with authentication (e.g. a
GITHUB_TOKEN env var, or delegating to the git credential helper)
Ideally this would work both for /plugins install <url> and for source entries in a custom marketplace JSON.
Additional information
Context: our team's plugins live in private GitHub repos. The current workaround is cloning each repo locally with git (which has credentials) and installing from local paths — workable, but it defeats the
purpose of a shared marketplace URL.
Other coding-agent harnesses support git-based plugin sources including private repos, so this gap is noticeable when adopting Kimi Code in a company setting.
Current version: kimi --version → v0.33.0
