Kimi

Kimi can build your lens for you, in the chat. It gets three tools: create_digital_twin_lens creates a lens from a profile you approve, add_lens_knowledge adds text and links to it while it is still unclaimed, and get_lens_status checks how ingestion is going.

Kimi shows you the proposed profile first and only sends it to Mindola after you confirm. If you are not signed in to Mindola, the lens is created unclaimed. It is live immediately at its share link, and Kimi also gives you a claim link. Open it, sign up for free, and the lens becomes yours. Unclaimed lenses expire after 30 days if nobody claims them.

Install the plugin

In Kimi Work or Kimi Code CLI, open plugins and install from a URL:

/plugins install https://github.com/Mindola-ai/mindola-kimi

Then run /reload or /new so the current session picks it up.

The plugin adds the three tools plus a short skill that tells Kimi when a lens is a good idea and to get your approval before creating one.

Or add the server directly

If you would rather skip the plugin wrapper, add the MCP server on its own:

kimi mcp add --transport http mindola https://app.mindola.ai/mcp/lens

You can also write it into ~/.kimi-code/mcp.json by hand:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mindola": {
      "url": "https://app.mindola.ai/mcp/lens"
    }
  }
}

No sign-in or API key is required either way.

Verify it works

Ask Kimi: “What Mindola tools do you have?” It should name exactly three: create_digital_twin_lens, add_lens_knowledge, and get_lens_status.

Then try: “Create my Mindola lens from what you know about me. Show me the profile first so I can approve it.”

If something goes wrong

Anonymous use is rate limited: lens creation allows 2 per minute and 10 per hour, and the other two tools allow 20 calls per minute. If Kimi reports a limit, wait a minute and try again. For connection errors and other issues, see Troubleshooting.

Try this

• Describe who the lens is for before you ask for one. A lens built for recruiters sounds different from one built for your newsletter audience.
• After the lens exists, ask Kimi to add your writing or links to it, then have it check the status before you share the link. A lens with nothing in it cannot answer much.
