# Connect Kimi K3 to LotsDirectory

Canonical page: https://lots.directory/agents/kimi-k3
Steps checked: 2026-10-01

Ask Kimi K3 to list your product on LotsDirectory and keep track of your directory submissions. Add LotsDirectory to Kimi K3 as a remote MCP server and sign in once.

MCP server URL: https://api.lots.directory/mcp
REST API docs: https://api.lots.directory/docs
Setup instructions for your agent: https://lots.directory/skill.md

## What you can do once connected

- Create and update your product listing, upload its images, and publish, schedule or unlist it.
- Get your badge snippet and check that it is live on your website.
- Read the weekly launch board and see where your product stands.
- Find the directories that fit your product, prepare your product packet and record each submission you make.
- Answer the questions visitors ask on your listing.
- Read your listing’s views, clicks and Domain Rating (by Ahrefs).
- Search and read the public listings in the directory.

The LotsDirectory dashboard does the whole job too: your listing, badge, launch week, directory submissions and analytics. Your agent for speed, the dashboard for control.

## You need

- Kimi Code CLI with access to Kimi K3
- This setup covers Kimi Code’s MCP client, not a native connector in the Kimi consumer chat
- A LotsDirectory account. You can create one during sign-in.

## Connect Kimi K3 to LotsDirectory

1. **Add LotsDirectory in Kimi Code.** Run /mcp-config to add a remote HTTP server, or merge this entry into ~/.kimi-code/mcp.json. Preserve any existing servers.

```
{ "mcpServers": { "lotsdirectory": { "url": "https://api.lots.directory/mcp" } } }
```

2. **Sign in with OAuth.** Complete authorization in the browser using Kimi Code’s own command.

```
/mcp-config login lotsdirectory
```

3. **Start a new session and verify tools.** Newly added servers join new sessions. Check /mcp, then ask Kimi “List my products on LotsDirectory” before changing anything.

## What to ask next

- “List my product from https://yourproduct.com on LotsDirectory”
- “Show this week’s launches on LotsDirectory and where my product stands”
- “Show me the directories that fit my product best and what each one asks for”
- “I submitted to the first directory on my list. Record it with this note and show my progress”

## Questions and troubleshooting

### How do I connect Kimi K3 to LotsDirectory?

Follow the Kimi K3 setup above to add https://api.lots.directory/mcp. Complete sign-in using the authentication method shown. Then ask “List my products on LotsDirectory”.

### Is there a LotsDirectory connector in the Kimi app?

This guide uses Kimi Code’s MCP client. Add https://api.lots.directory/mcp there and sign in; it is not a native connector in the Kimi consumer chat.

### Do I need an API key to use LotsDirectory with Kimi K3?

No. Kimi K3 signs in to LotsDirectory in your browser. API keys are for the REST API, for scripts and your own apps.

### What does LotsDirectory cost?

Current plans and prices are on https://lots.directory/pricing. Your agent’s own plan or usage fees are separate.

### Can my agent change other people’s listings?

No. Your agent can search and read public listings, and it can change only the listings your account owns.

### Does my agent submit my product to other directories?

Your agent and the dashboard work through the same directory list and the same records. Your agent reads what each directory asks for, prepares your product packet and records each submission, and you complete the steps a directory asks of its owner.

### Will I see my agent’s changes in my dashboard?

Yes. The dashboard and your agent use the same records, so a listing your agent creates or updates is the one you see in your dashboard.

### LotsDirectory tools are not available

Check that LotsDirectory is enabled for this session and authentication has completed. Reload the connection or start a new session to refresh its tools.
