## Key Features
- **Code Generation:** Generate code using natural language.
- **Task Automation:** Automate repetitive coding tasks.
- **Automated Refactoring:**: Refactor and improve existing code.
- **MCP Server Marketplace**: Easily find, and use MCP servers to extend the agent capabilities.
- **Multi Mode**: Plan with Architect, Code with Coder, and Debug with Debugger, and make your own custom modes.
## How to get started with Kilo Code
1. Install the Kilo Code extension from the [VS Code Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=kilocode.Kilo-Code).
2. Log in with your Google Account to get $20 in free Claude 4 Sonnet & Opus credits.
3. Start using the extension. Here's a video to help you get started (just click on the image below and you'll be redirected to YouTube):

## Difference between Roo Code and Cline
We're doing our best to combine the best of both worlds. Kilo Code combines all features of Cline, Roo, and adds a few of our own additions. It has the best features of both, and we're working on making it even better!
No need to fiddle with API keys, Kilo Code ships with the latest AI models plugged in, including Claude 4 Sonnet and Opus and Gemini 2.5 Pro.
Kilo Code is a direct fork from Roo Code, but also includes the following features from Cline (and more):
- MCP Server Marketplace: Easily find, and use MCP servers to extend the agent capabilities.
- System notifications: Get notified when the agent is done with a task.
- Easy model connection: with bigger free tier.
