๐ค Available Models
โ ๏ธ Important: Model availability depends on your Kiro tier (free/paid). The gateway provides access to whatever models are available in your IDE or CLI based on your subscription. The list below shows models commonly available on the free tier.
๐ Claude Opus 4.5 was removed from the free tier on January 17, 2026. It may be available on paid tiers โ check your IDE/CLI model list.
๐ Claude Sonnet 4.5 โ Balanced performance. Great for coding, writing, and general-purpose tasks.
โก Claude Haiku 4.5 โ Lightning fast. Perfect for quick responses, simple tasks, and chat.
๐ฆ Claude Sonnet 4 โ Previous generation. Still powerful and reliable for most use cases.
๐ฆ Claude 3.7 Sonnet โ Legacy model. Available for backward compatibility.
๐ก Smart Model Resolution: Use any model name format โ
claude-sonnet-4-5,claude-sonnet-4.5, or even versioned names likeclaude-sonnet-4-5-20250929. The gateway normalizes them automatically.

๐ Quick Start
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+
- One of the following:
Installation
# Clone the repository (requires Git)
git clone https://github.com/Jwadow/kiro-gateway.git
cd kiro-gateway
# Or download ZIP: Code โ Download ZIP โ extract โ open kiro-gateway folder
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Configure (see Configuration section)
cp .env.example .env
# Copy and edit .env with your credentials
# Start the server
python main.py
# Or with custom port (if 8000 is busy)
python main.py --port 9000
The server will be available at http://localhost:8000
โ๏ธ Configuration
Option 1: JSON Credentials File (Kiro IDE / Enterprise)
Specify the path to the credentials file:
Works with:
- Kiro IDE (standard) - for personal accounts
- Enterprise - for corporate accounts with SSO
KIRO_CREDS_FILE="~/.aws/sso/cache/kiro-auth-token.json"
# Password to protect YOUR proxy server (make up any secure string)
# You'll use this as api_key when connecting to your gateway
PROXY_API_KEY="my-super-secret-password-123"
๐ JSON file format
{
"accessToken": "eyJ...",
"refreshToken": "eyJ...",
"expiresAt": "2025-01-12T23:00:00.000Z",
"profileArn": "arn:aws:codewhisperer:us-east-1:...",
"region": "us-east-1",
"clientIdHash": "abc123..." // Optional: for corporate SSO setups
}
Note: If you have two JSON files in
~/.aws/sso/cache/(e.g.,kiro-auth-token.jsonand a file with a hash name), usekiro-auth-token.jsoninKIRO_CREDS_FILE. The gateway will automatically load the other file.
Option 2: Environment Variables (.env file)
Create a .env file in the project root:
# Required
REFRESH_TOKEN="your_kiro_refresh_token"
# Password to protect YOUR proxy server (make up any secure string)
PROXY_API_KEY="my-super-secret-password-123"
# Optional
PROFILE_ARN="arn:aws:codewhisperer:us-east-1:..."
KIRO_REGION="us-east-1"
Option 3: AWS SSO Credentials (kiro-cli / Enterprise)
If you use kiro-cli or Kiro IDE with AWS SSO (AWS IAM Identity Center), the gateway will automatically detect and use the appropriate authentication.
Works with both free Builder ID accounts and corporate accounts.
KIRO_CREDS_FILE="~/.aws/sso/cache/your-sso-cache-file.json"
# Password to protect YOUR proxy server
PROXY_API_KEY="my-super-secret-password-123"
# Note: PROFILE_ARN is NOT needed for AWS SSO (Builder ID and corporate accounts)
# The gateway will work without it
๐ AWS SSO JSON file format
AWS SSO credentials files (from ~/.aws/sso/cache/) contain:
{
"accessToken": "eyJ...",
"refreshToken": "eyJ...",
"expiresAt": "2025-01-12T23:00:00.000Z",
"region": "us-east-1",
"clientId": "...",
"clientSecret": "..."
}
Note: AWS SSO (Builder ID and corporate accounts) users do NOT need profileArn. The gateway will work without it (if specified, it will be ignored).
๐ How it works
The gateway automatically detects the authentication type based on the credentials file:
Kiro Desktop Auth (default): Used when
clientIdandclientSecretare NOT present- Endpoint:
https://prod.{region}.auth.desktop.kiro.dev/refreshToken
- Endpoint:
AWS SSO (OIDC): Used when
clientIdandclientSecretARE present- Endpoint:
https://oidc.{region}.amazonaws.com/token
- Endpoint:
No additional configuration is needed โ just point to your credentials file!
Option 4: kiro-cli SQLite Database
If you use kiro-cli and prefer to use its SQLite database directly:
KIRO_CLI_DB_FILE="~/.local/share/kiro-cli/data.sqlite3"
# Password to protect YOUR proxy server
PROXY_API_KEY="my-super-secret-password-123"
# Note: PROFILE_ARN is NOT needed for AWS SSO (Builder ID and corporate accounts)
# The gateway will work without it
๐ Database locations
| CLI Tool | Database Path |
|---|---|
| kiro-cli | ~/.local/share/kiro-cli/data.sqlite3 |
| amazon-q-developer-cli | ~/.local/share/amazon-q/data.sqlite3 |
The gateway reads credentials from the auth_kv table which stores:
kirocli:odic:tokenorcodewhisperer:odic:tokenโ access token, refresh token, expirationkirocli:odic:device-registrationorcodewhisperer:odic:device-registrationโ client ID and secret
Both key formats are supported for compatibility with different kiro-cli versions.
Getting Credentials
For Kiro IDE users:
- Log in to Kiro IDE and use Option 1 above (JSON credentials file)
- The credentials file is created automatically after login
For Kiro CLI users:
- Log in with
kiro-cli loginand use Option 3 or Option 4 above - No manual token extraction needed!
๐ง Advanced: Manual token extraction
If you need to manually extract the refresh token (e.g., for debugging), you can intercept Kiro IDE traffic:
- Look for requests to:
prod.us-east-1.auth.desktop.kiro.dev/refreshToken
๐ VPN/Proxy Support
For users in China, corporate networks, or regions with connectivity issues to AWS services.
The gateway supports routing all Kiro API requests through a VPN or proxy server. This is essential if you experience connection problems to AWS endpoints or need to use a corporate proxy.
Configuration
Add to your .env file:
# HTTP proxy
VPN_PROXY_URL=http://127.0.0.1:7890
# SOCKS5 proxy
VPN_PROXY_URL=socks5://127.0.0.1:1080
# With authentication (corporate proxies)
VPN_PROXY_URL=http://username:password@proxy.company.com:8080
# Without protocol (defaults to http://)
VPN_PROXY_URL=192.168.1.100:8080
Supported Protocols
- โ HTTP โ Standard proxy protocol
- โ HTTPS โ Secure proxy connections
- โ SOCKS5 โ Advanced proxy protocol (common in VPN software)
- โ Authentication โ Username/password embedded in URL
When You Need This
| Situation | Solution |
|---|---|
| Connection timeouts to AWS | Use VPN/proxy to route traffic |
| Corporate network restrictions | Configure your company's proxy |
| Regional connectivity issues | Use a VPN service with proxy support |
| Privacy requirements | Route through your own proxy server |
Popular VPN Software with Proxy Support
Most VPN clients provide a local proxy server you can use:
- Sing-box โ Modern VPN client with HTTP/SOCKS5 proxy
- Clash โ Usually runs on
http://127.0.0.1:7890 - V2Ray โ Configurable SOCKS5/HTTP proxy
- Shadowsocks โ SOCKS5 proxy support
- Corporate VPN โ Check your IT department for proxy settings
Leave VPN_PROXY_URL empty (default) if you don't need proxy support.
