BuyGit for VS Code

License-aware Git asset discovery, inside the editor. Searches 78,094+ curated, license-tagged Git assets and checks SPDX compatibility against your project's license — without launching a chat sidebar.

Companion to @buygit/mcp-server and @buygit/cli. Same data, three surfaces — pick whichever fits your workflow.

Commands

Command	What it does
`BuyGit: Search Open Index`	Free-text search with optional license filter, opens result on buygit.com
`BuyGit: Check License Compatibility`	"Is this SPDX safe in my project?" verdict against the configured target
`BuyGit: Audit dependencies in current file`	Parses package.json / Cargo.toml / requirements.txt / go.mod / composer.json / Gemfile and reports license + risk for every dep
`BuyGit: Open MCP install page`	Opens https://buygit.com/mcp

The audit command also appears in the Explorer right-click menu on the supported manifest files.

Settings

Setting	Default	Effect
`buygit.baseUrl`	`https://buygit.com`	Base URL for the API. Override for self-hosted instances.
`buygit.targetLicense`	`MIT`	Your project's license. The audit + check-compat commands use this as the "target" side of the SPDX matrix.

Why use this alongside an MCP client?

If you already run Cline / Continue / Roo Code / Antigravity with @buygit/mcp-server configured, you have BuyGit answers in your chat sidebar. This extension gives you the same answers as menu commands + explorer-context actions without opening a chat — useful when you just want to right-click package.json and get a one-line "are these deps safe to ship under MIT" answer.
