CodeGPT
CodeGPT is an AI coding assistant for developers using Visual Studio Code or JetBrains IDEs. It reviews a codebase, proposes an editable plan, and helps implement code changes using selected AI models.
One of 61 tools in Coding
Who it's for
- Software developers using Visual Studio Code who want an AI assistant for code generation, refactoring, or debugging.
- Developers working in JetBrains IDEs, including IntelliJ or PyCharm, who want an AI coding extension.
- Engineering teams that want pooled credits, centralized billing, and usage statistics for their coding assistant.
How it fits your workflow
Install the CodeGPT extension in Visual Studio Code or a JetBrains IDE, then choose whether to use your own API keys or CodeGPT credits and select a model.
CodeGPT reads the codebase, proposes a plan that you can edit, and suggests code changes. You approve steps before changes are made; terminal commands also wait for approval before anything mutates.

Key features
- Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)
- Use your own API keys and run any supported model; CodeGPT emphasizes that you own the keys and control when cloud models are used.
- Model Agnostic / Full Model Flexibility
- Supports choosing or swapping models (mentions Claude, Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) to match reasoning depth, context length, or speed requirements.
- IDE Integrations
- Extensions for Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ, PyCharm, etc.) to bring AI coding workflows directly into developer environments.
- AI Agents & Planning Mode
- Agent and Planning mode for multi-step reasoning and agent-driven workflows that plan and execute coding tasks.
- MCP (Integration Bridge)
- Links to APIs, documentation, and databases to allow the assistant and agents to access external systems and resources.
- Context Tracking & Rules
- Tracks context live with rules the assistant follows for consistent, standards-based code and transparent context usage without hidden limits.
Works with
- Visual Studio Code
- JetBrains IDEs
- Model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Claude, Gemini, etc.)
- MCP - APIs, Docs, Databases
Limitations to know
- The page says code remains under the user's control unless they explicitly choose to use cloud AI models; using those models can involve sending code to cloud AI services.
Alternatives to consider
-
GIDE, Your AI Coding Command Center
Choose it if you want a local-first coding IDE and CLI that runs models on your machine, works offline, and offers an OpenAI-compatible local API.
Getting started
- Download the extension for Visual Studio Code or a JetBrains IDE.
- Choose your model access method: bring your own API keys or use CodeGPT credits.
- Select a model and ask CodeGPT to work with your codebase.
- Review and approve the proposed plan, edits, or terminal actions.
