Claude Model Provider Extension for VS Code

This Visual Studio Code extension contributes language models that can be used in the chat view and also by other extensions that allow selecting language models.

Why?

Adding your Anthropic API key directly in Visual Studio Code is possible but will work only in chat. Trying to use models from another extension will produce system: text content blocks must be non-empty errors.

This extension allows using Anthropic Claude models from other extensions as well.

Prerequisites

Before using this extension, you need to have an Anthropic API key. If you don't have one, you can obtain it from Anthropic's website.

Setup

The extension will prompt you to enter your API key when you first use it.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Please feel free to submit a Pull Request.

Disclaimer

This extension is not officially associated with Anthropic. It's an independent project that uses Anthropic's API.
