> Add a Custom Provider in the Kilo Code extension using the aicentos Base URL and API Key

Kilo Code officially supports the OpenAI Compatible provider, so it can connect to this service directly.

## Installation

Official installation page: [https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=kilocode.kilo-code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=kilocode.kilo-code)

If you use VS Code, the most direct way to install is:

```bash
code --install-extension kilocode.kilo-code
```

If you use Windsurf, VSCodium or another Open VSX-compatible environment, install the corresponding marketplace version per the official Kilo documentation.

## Open the settings

Click the settings button in the Kilo Code panel to get to the provider configuration.

## Configuration to fill in

Set the API Provider to OpenAI Compatible, then fill in:

* Base URL: [https://aicentos.com/v1](https://aicentos.com/v1)
* API Key: your codex\_... or sk-... key
* Model ID: gpt-5-codex-mini

If the model list does not show it automatically, you can also type it in manually.

## Test

After saving, start a new task and confirm Kilo Code connects normally and returns content.

## Notes

* The official Kilo Code documentation uses the OpenAI Compatible provider configuration
* Kilo Code also supports entering a full endpoint URL, but that is unnecessary for this service
* Use the Base URL here; do not extend it into the full /chat/completions path
