VS Code AI Chat

Privacy-first AI coding assistant. No telemetry, no database, no third parties - all data stays local.

Two modes for different workflows:

Chat mode: You control the context. Select specific lines, attach files, get focused responses without the AI scanning your entire codebase.
Agent mode: Enable MCP tools via vscode-mcp-server for file operations, terminal commands, and codebase search. The AI can read, write, and execute - with safety filters for sensitive files.

Demo

Attach opened files in editor or specific line ranges to chat. No automatic codebase scanning - you decide exactly what the AI sees.

Connect to vscode-mcp-server and toggle ⚡︎ agent mode. Configure which tools are enabled per provider/model config.

Tools will never read your env vars or sensitive files (see mcp/safety.ts).

Set up profiles with different models, system prompts, temperatures, and enabled tools.

Images sent via vision API. PDFs extracted as text. Attach any file type as context.

Save conversations as formatted markdown files for documentation or sharing.

Monitor prompt and completion tokens in real-time.
