Kilo Code is a VS Code extension. To connect BetterToken, choose the OpenAI Compatible provider and use a model ID from the Codex group.

​
Prerequisites

  • VS Code installed
  • BetterToken API Key (register here (https://www.bettertoken.ai/register))

​
Setup

1

Clear conflicting environment variables

2

Open Kilo Code settings

Open the Kilo Code settings UI.
3

Configure the API provider

Fill in:
  • API Provider → OpenAI Compatible
  • Base URL → https://www.bettertoken.ai/v1
  • API Key → your BetterToken API Key
  • Model → a Codex group model ID copied from the model plaza (https://www.bettertoken.ai/pricing)
4

Only configure extra headers when the official docs explicitly require them

The official Kilo Code material we checked mentions optional custom headers for OpenAI-compatible providers, but it does not treat User-Agent as a required BetterToken setup step.If you are also using a custom gateway, tenant routing, observability, or caching layer, add headers only according to that upstream service’s official docs.
5

Restart Kilo Code

After changing the config, restart VS Code or reload the Kilo Code extension so the new settings take effect.
If you need extra headers, follow the current Kilo Code docs or your upstream gateway requirements instead of assuming User-Agent is mandatory for BetterToken.
