Grokified for VS Code

Grokified registers as a chat model provider in VS Code (vendor grokified), so every Grok model from xAI shows up in the native Chat model picker. Requires VS Code 1.104 or newer.

What is Grokified

Grokified is a discounted reseller proxy for the xAI Grok API. It is OpenAI-compatible and reachable at https://api.grokified.com/v1. Billing is prepaid credit, not a subscription. New accounts get free starter credit, so you can try text models without adding a card.

Setup

1. Install this extension.
2. Open the Command Palette and run Grokified: Sign In. This opens grokified.com in your browser to authorize the extension, no key to copy.
3. Open Chat and pick a Grok model from the model picker.

Prefer not to sign in through the browser? Get a key at grokified.com/keys and run Grokified: Set API Key instead, pasting a key that starts with gk_live_ or gk_test_. This fallback keeps working exactly as before.

Where your key is stored

Your key is saved in VS Code's SecretStorage, backed by your OS keychain. It is never written to settings.json, or to any file on disk in plain text.

Balance and dashboard

Once signed in, your prepaid balance shows in the status bar. It is hidden when you are signed out, and its background turns to a warning color once your balance runs low.

Click it, or run Grokified: Open Dashboard, to open the full dashboard in an editor tab. It shows your balance with a top-up button, a runway estimate for how long that balance lasts at your recent rate, and a savings total: what you paid against what xAI's own list price would have been. Below that is spend today and over the last 30 days with a daily spend chart, a feed of your most recent requests with per-request cost and savings, and spend ranked by model. Further down is your discount and progress toward its cap, the models available on your account with list price per 1M tokens when known, and your account details: free tier, card on file, and auto reload state, with a sign out button. Auto reload can only be viewed here; change it on the Grokified website. Grokified is prepaid credit: there is no hourly or weekly rate limit, so the dashboard shows money and burn rate, never a quota or a reset timer.

When your balance crosses below a low threshold, a notification offers to add credit. It only fires on that crossing, not on every refresh.

Built-in tools

Chat now goes through xAI's Responses API, so Grok can reach for its own built-in tools during a turn: web search, X search, a Python code interpreter, and image generation. These run on xAI's servers, not your machine, and every call spends account credit. Source links Grok used are added to the end of its answer as a short list.

Web search, X search, and image generation are on by default. Code interpreter is off by default because it executes code. Turn any of them on or off with the grokified.tools setting.
