Adds DevPass by LLM Gateway as a language model provider in VS Code Chat. Pre-configured endpoint; just add your API key and models are discovered automatically.
Installation
Launch VS Code Quick Open (Ctrl+P), paste the following command, and press enter.
Bring DevPass / LLM Gateway models into VS Code's built-in Chat with just an API key.
DevPass registers itself as a language model provider in VS Code, so the models you have access to through LLM Gateway show up directly in the Chat model picker. The endpoint is pre-configured (https://api.llmgateway.io/v1) and your available models are discovered automatically — there's nothing to wire up beyond pasting your key.
Features
Automatic model discovery — your available models appear in the Chat model picker; deprecated and deactivated models are filtered out.
Streaming responses — answers stream into Chat as they're generated.
Tool / function calling — supported per model, so agentic workflows and tools work out of the box where the model allows it.
Secure key storage — your API key is kept in VS Code's encrypted SecretStorage, never in settings or plaintext.
Resilient networking — transient failures are retried with backoff, honoring the server's Retry-After hint, with timeouts and stall detection on streams.
Zero endpoint config — no base URLs or model lists to maintain; just add your key.
Getting started
Install the extension.
Run DevPass: Set API Key from the Command Palette and paste your key (format: llmgtwy_...). Alternatively, just pick a DevPass model in Chat and you'll be prompted for the key the first time.
Open the Chat view and select a DevPass model from the model picker.
Start chatting.
Commands
DevPass: Manage API Key — set/update your key or sign out from a single menu.
DevPass: Set API Key — enter or replace your stored key.
DevPass: Sign Out (Clear API Key) — remove the stored key.
Requirements
VS Code 1.104.0 or newer.
A DevPass / LLM Gateway API key from your DevPass / LLM Gateway account.
Troubleshooting
If models don't load or responses fail, open View → Output and select the
DevPass channel. It logs retries, cancellations, gateway errors, response
truncation, and token usage to help diagnose issues. Your API key is never logged.
Privacy & data
Your API key is stored locally using VS Code's SecretStorage. Chat prompts and context are sent directly from your editor to the LLM Gateway endpoint (https://api.llmgateway.io/v1) to generate responses. No data passes through any other third party.
