AgentKimi

Status: work in progress. This is an early public release under active development — expect rough edges and breaking changes. Bug reports and pull requests are very welcome — open an issue or a PR (see Contributing).

An MCP server that runs Kimi K2.7-code (Moonshot AI) as an autonomous coding agent inside a bubblewrap-sandboxed git worktree. Kimi gets the full Claude Code toolset (Write, Edit, Bash, Read, Glob, Grep, …) via the Claude Agent SDK, works in an isolated worktree, and the server returns a git diff of everything it changed as ground truth for review.

Built with TypeScript + Bun, the @modelcontextprotocol/sdk (stdio transport), and @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk pointed at Moonshot's Anthropic-compatible endpoint.

Platform: Linux only. Requires bubblewrap (bwrap) and unprivileged user namespaces — the sandbox fails closed if they're unavailable (no unsandboxed fallback).

Tools

Tool	Returns
agentkimi_start(prompt, workdir?)	{ session_id, summary, diff, files_changed }
agentkimi_send(session_id, message)	{ summary, diff, files_changed, test_output }
agentkimi_end(session_id)	Closes the session (removes the worktree, keeps the branch).

Multi-turn conversations resume via the SDK's resume (survives server restarts). One worktree per session.

Worktree modes

• workdir is inside a git repo → a linked worktree on branch agentkimi/<id> off HEAD. The branch is preserved after agentkimi_end, so you can inspect, merge, or delete it. Its git-dir lives in the source repo and is never exposed to the sandbox.
• No workdir → a throwaway git init repo under ~/.agentkimi/worktrees/<id>, with a separated git-dir under ~/.agentkimi/gitdirs/<id> that is never mounted into the sandbox. Removed on end.

---

Security model

The threat model assumes Kimi may be jailbroken or prompt-injected and will try to read host secrets, escape the sandbox, or run code outside it. There are two real boundaries, plus several hardening layers.

bwrap namespace — the PRIMARY boundary (bwrap.ts)

Each turn runs as a bubblewrapped subprocess in a fresh user/PID/IPC/UTS/cgroup namespace:

• Host secrets are not mounted — ~/.ssh, ~/.aws, ~/.git-credentials, and any other home/secret directory simply do not exist inside the namespace (ENOENT), even via interpreters (python, node, bun). This is containment by construction, not by command filtering.
• --clearenv — the namespace starts from an empty environment; only HOME, PATH, and CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR are set. The API key never appears in the namespace environment, so it can't be read via /proc/<pid>/environ.
• Private SDK tmpfs — the SDK extracts its bundled claude binary into a per-session tmpfs (/sbx-tmp, via CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR). The host-shared /tmp/claude-<uid> is never mounted, so a sandboxed process can't poison a binary an unsandboxed host process later runs, or read another session's output.
• Empty tmpfs HOME; the project dir and Bun runtime are mounted read-only; the worktree is the only writable workspace.
• AGENTKIMI_NO_NET=1 adds --unshare-net to drop all network egress.

In-process gate — SECONDARY, defense-in-depth (sandbox.ts)

A PreToolUse hook plus a canUseTool callback confine file operations to the active worktree (symlink-safe, deepest-existing-ancestor realpath, no lexical fallback) and deny destructive commands, egress tools, and env/process introspection. This raises the bar against casual misuse — but the bwrap namespace is what actually contains a determined attacker (a regex gate cannot confine an interpreter).

Hardened git operations (worktree.ts)

The worktree contents are fully attacker-controlled, and the server runs git against them outside the sandbox — a classic host-RCE surface. So every git call:

• uses an argv array (execFileSync, no shell) — no path/branch can inject a command;
• passes --git-dir/--work-tree explicitly against a git-dir the sandbox can't write, so an in-tree .git/.gitattributes can't define a command;
• runs with --no-ext-diff --no-textconv, -c core.hooksPath=/dev/null -c core.fsmonitor=, GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM/GLOBAL=/dev/null, and a child env with all GIT_* variables stripped (these otherwise bypass the -c overrides);
• cleanup uses fs.rmSync (no rm -rf shell string) with a path-prefix check.

Linked-mode filter repos are refused by default. A git repo can define filter.<name>.smudge/clean in its config and commit a .gitattributes that runs the filter command on checkout/diff — i.e. opening an untrusted repo can execute code on the host. agentKimi enumerates the source repo's filter drivers and refuses to create a linked worktree if any are defined, unless you opt in with AGENTKIMI_ALLOW_FILTERS=1 (only for repos you trust — e.g. ones using git-lfs).

Minimal secret footprint (launch.sh, config.ts)

launch.sh greps only the Kimi key line out of the env file — it never sources the file, so unrelated secrets never enter the server process. The server builds an explicit child env for Kimi containing only what it needs; process.env is never spread.

Honest residual risk

• Network is ON by default (Kimi needs Moonshot + WebFetch). With net on, a jailbroken Kimi could exfiltrate the worktree code it is working on. No host secret is reachable (they aren't mounted, and the namespace env is cleared), but set AGENTKIMI_NO_NET=1 for sensitive repos.
• The worktree is writable — Kimi can write anything there. Review the returned diff before merging.
• Requires kernel support for unprivileged user namespaces; bwrap fails with a clear error at spawn if unavailable.

Setup

1. Install

git clone https://github.com/dominiclynchwoodlands-ui/agentKimi
cd agentKimi
bun install

You also need bubblewrap installed (bwrap --version). On Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt install bubblewrap; on Arch: sudo pacman -S bubblewrap.

2. Provide the Kimi key

Create an env file containing a single line, and point AGENTKIMI_ENV_FILE at it (only KIMI_API_KEY or MOONSHOT_API_KEY is read):

mkdir -p ~/.agentkimi
printf 'KIMI_API_KEY=%s\n' "<your-moonshot-key>" > ~/.agentkimi/.env
chmod 600 ~/.agentkimi/.env

3. Register with Claude Code

MCP servers live in ~/.claude.json (user scope) — not settings.json. Add:

"agentkimi": {
  "type": "stdio",
  "command": "/abs/path/to/agentKimi/launch.sh",
  "env": { "AGENTKIMI_ENV_FILE": "/home/you/.agentkimi/.env" }
}

or:

claude mcp add agentkimi --scope user \
  -e AGENTKIMI_ENV_FILE=/home/you/.agentkimi/.env \
  -- /abs/path/to/agentKimi/launch.sh

Restart Claude Code so it picks up the new server.

Configuration

Env var	Effect
AGENTKIMI_ENV_FILE	Path to the file holding the Kimi key (launch.sh greps just that line).
AGENTKIMI_NO_NET=1	Drop all network egress from the sandbox (--unshare-net).
AGENTKIMI_DENY_PATHS	Colon-separated paths that may not be used as a workdir (e.g. "$HOME/work/secrets:$HOME/.config"). Empty by default.
AGENTKIMI_ALLOW_FILTERS=1	Permit a linked worktree on a repo that defines git filter drivers (refused by default). Only for repos you trust.

Runtime state

~/.agentkimi/
  .env             # your Kimi key (you create this)
  cfg/             # isolated config dir: deny-only settings.json + skills symlink
  sessions.json    # durable session registry (atomic writes + cross-process lock)
  worktrees/<id>/  # per-session working trees
  gitdirs/<id>/    # separated git-dirs for throwaway repos (never mounted)

---

Development

bun install
bunx tsc --noEmit          # type-check
bun test                   # security regression suite (no API key needed)
bun smoke.ts               # bwrap + SDK integration check (needs KIMI_API_KEY in env)

The *.security.test.ts files are fast, hermetic regressions for the git-RCE and env-isolation hardening. smoke.ts exercises the real bwrap sandbox and a live SDK turn, and requires KIMI_API_KEY to be exported.

Contributing

agentKimi is a work in progress and contributions are welcome.

• Bug reports — open a GitHub issue with steps to reproduce, your OS/kernel, and bwrap --version. Sandbox or isolation issues are especially valuable.
• Pull requests — open a PR against main. Before submitting, run bunx tsc --noEmit and bun test (both must be green) and describe what you changed and why.

Because the security model is the core of this project, any change touching the sandbox (bwrap.ts, sandbox.ts, worktree.ts) should add or update the relevant *.security.test.ts regressions.
