# Kilo Code

> Methods for Using the GLM Coding Plan in Kilo Code plugin

Kilo Code is a powerful VS Code plugin with support for MCP (Model Context Protocol), enabling you to generate code, debug, and manage projects directly within the editor — delivering a more efficient and intelligent development experience.

Kilo Code’s performance is further enhanced with the [GLM Coding Plan](https://z.ai/subscribe?utm_source=zai\&utm_medium=link\&utm_term=devpack-integration\&utm_campaign=Platform_Ops&_channel_track_key=w3mNdY8g),, helping you achieve greater efficiency and stability in both code creation and project collaboration.

<Warning>
  Using the GLM Coding Plan, you need to configure the dedicated Coding API [https://api.z.ai/api/coding/paas/v4](https://api.z.ai/api/coding/paas/v4) instead of the General API [https://api.z.ai/api/paas/v4](https://api.z.ai/api/paas/v4)
