Chat with the Chatular AI directly inside VS Code. Generate a token in your Chatular Settings, paste it here, attach files, and let the AI propose edits with full diff approval.
Installation
Launch VS Code Quick Open (Ctrl+P), paste the following command, and press enter.
Chat with the Chatular AI directly inside VS Code — attach files and let the AI propose edits with full diff approval.
Features
Chat without leaving the editor — a dedicated panel in the sidebar.
File-aware — attach files or auto-include the file you're editing as context.
AI-proposed edits — review every change as an approve/reject diff before it touches your code.
Saved threads — conversations sync to your Chatular account; resume them here or on the web.
Requirements
A free Chatular account — you'll generate an API token from it during setup.
Setup
Generate an API token. In the Chatular web app, open Settings → Integrations → VS Code Extension and click Generate Token. Copy it.
Install this extension from the VS Code Marketplace.
Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run Chatular: Set API Token. Paste the token.
Run Chatular: Open Chat. Start chatting.
If you self-host Chatular, also set chatular.serverUrl in VS Code settings to your server's base URL — defaults to https://chatular.com.

Security
Your API token never enters the chat webview's HTML — the extension host process holds it and forwards only plain-text deltas to the UI. If the webview HTML is ever exploited, the token still can't be exfiltrated through it.
Revoke a token any time at Chatular Settings → Integrations → VS Code Extension → Revoke — the next chat request from the extension will fail with 401, prompting you to paste a fresh token.
