Moonshot Kimi node brings AI chat and vision to n8n

n8n users gain a dedicated integration for Moonshot's Kimi AI models, expanding the automation platform's AI capabilities beyond existing vendors. The new node handles both conversational text generation and vision tasks through two distinct operations.

The Message a Model resource delivers a full-featured chat interface with multi-turn conversation history, system prompt support, and configurable output parameters like temperature and penalties. Tool calling lets workflows connect to external services or tools, with a configurable iteration limit and cancellation support. A built-in web search toggle activates Kimi's $web_search capability for real-time information retrieval, while thinking mode enables deep reasoning for complex tasks. JSON response formatting is available for structured outputs.

The Analyze Image resource provides a streamlined vision interface that accepts binary image data and returns analysis. Unlike some vision APIs, Moonshot requires base64-encoded data URLs rather than image URLs—a constraint the implementation handles automatically.

Dynamic model selection pulls available models directly from Moonshot's API, letting users pick from the list or enter model IDs manually. Token usage tracking feeds into n8n's telemetry system for monitoring. The node reuses existing Moonshot API credentials, minimizing configuration friction.

The node lives in the LangChain nodes package alongside other AI vendor integrations, available for workflows targeting both text and image processing tasks.
