moonbridge 0.5.1

MCP server for spawning Kimi K2.5 agents

Moonbridge

Your MCP client just got a team.

Spawn Kimi K2.5 agents from Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client. Run 10 approaches in parallel for the cost of one Claude request.

uvx moonbridge

Quick Start

1. Install Kimi CLI and authenticate:

   uv tool install --python 3.13 kimi-cli && kimi login
   

2. Add to MCP config (~/.mcp.json):

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "moonbridge": {
         "type": "stdio",
         "command": "uvx",
         "args": ["moonbridge"]
       }
     }
   }
   

3. Use it. Your MCP client now has spawn_agent and spawn_agents_parallel tools.

Updating

Moonbridge checks for updates on startup (cached for 24h). To update manually:

# If using uvx (recommended)
uvx moonbridge --refresh

# If installed as a tool
uv tool upgrade moonbridge

Disable update checks for CI/automation:

export MOONBRIDGE_SKIP_UPDATE_CHECK=1

When to Use Moonbridge

Task	Why Moonbridge
Parallel exploration	Run 10 approaches simultaneously, pick the best
Frontend/UI work	Kimi excels at visual coding and component design
Tests and documentation	Cost-effective for high-volume tasks
Refactoring	Try multiple strategies in one request

Best for: Tasks that benefit from parallel execution or volume.

Tools

Tool	Use case
spawn_agent	Single task: "Write tests for auth.ts"
spawn_agents_parallel	Go wide: 10 agents, 10 approaches, pick the best
check_status	Verify Kimi CLI is installed and authenticated

Example: Parallel Exploration

{
  "agents": [
    {"prompt": "Refactor to React hooks"},
    {"prompt": "Refactor to Zustand"},
    {"prompt": "Refactor to Redux Toolkit"}
  ]
}

Three approaches. One request. You choose the winner.

Tool Parameters

spawn_agent

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
prompt	string	Yes	Task description for the agent
thinking	boolean	No	Enable reasoning mode (default: false)
timeout_seconds	integer	No	Override default timeout (30-3600)

spawn_agents_parallel

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
agents	array	Yes	List of agent configs (max 10)
agents[].prompt	string	Yes	Task for this agent
agents[].thinking	boolean	No	Enable reasoning for this agent
agents[].timeout_seconds	integer	No	Timeout for this agent

Response Format

All tools return JSON with these fields:

Field	Type	Description
status	string	success, error, timeout, auth_error, or cancelled
output	string	stdout from Kimi agent
stderr	string|null	stderr if any
returncode	int	Process exit code (-1 for timeout/error)
duration_ms	int	Execution time in milliseconds
agent_index	int	Agent index (0 for single, 0-N for parallel)
message	string?	Human-readable error context (when applicable)

Configuration

Environment Variables

Variable	Description
MOONBRIDGE_ADAPTER	Default adapter (default: kimi)
MOONBRIDGE_TIMEOUT	Default timeout in seconds (30-3600)
MOONBRIDGE_MAX_AGENTS	Maximum parallel agents
MOONBRIDGE_ALLOWED_DIRS	Colon-separated allowlist of working directories
MOONBRIDGE_STRICT	Set to 1 to require ALLOWED_DIRS (exits if unset)
MOONBRIDGE_LOG_LEVEL	Set to DEBUG for verbose logging

Troubleshooting

"Kimi CLI not found"

Install the Kimi CLI:

uv tool install --python 3.13 kimi-cli
which kimi

"auth_error" responses

Authenticate with Kimi:

kimi login

Timeout errors

Increase the timeout for long-running tasks:

{"prompt": "...", "timeout_seconds": 1800}

Or set a global default:

export MOONBRIDGE_TIMEOUT=1800

"MOONBRIDGE_ALLOWED_DIRS is not set" warning

By default, Moonbridge warns at startup if no directory restrictions are configured. This is expected for local development. For shared/production environments, set allowed directories:

export MOONBRIDGE_ALLOWED_DIRS="/path/to/project:/another/path"

To enforce restrictions (exit instead of warn):

export MOONBRIDGE_STRICT=1

Permission denied on working directory

Verify the directory is in your allowlist:

export MOONBRIDGE_ALLOWED_DIRS="/path/to/project:/another/path"

Debug logging

Enable verbose logging:

export MOONBRIDGE_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
