Visual Studio Code – Code Editing. Redefined.

Any model for any team

Use AI models like Claude Sonnet out of the box, or bring your own key to access models from Azure, Anthropic, Google, Ollama, OpenAI, and OpenRouter.

An expert on your codebase

Your codebase is indexed locally and remotely (on GitHub) to understand what's relevant, enabling fast, context-aware interactions.

AI that works the way your team does

Personalize interactions using custom instructions and reusable prompt files tailored to your workflows, tools, and projects.

Agent Mode

Tackle complex, multi-step tasks. Agent mode reads your codebase, suggests edits across files, runs terminal commands, and responds to compile or test failures — all in a loop until the job is done. Further refine agent mode to fit your team's workflows with VS Code extensions and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.

Next edit suggestions

VS Code predicts your next move as you code. Use the Tab key to accept AI-powered suggestions right in your editor. It intelligently recommends what to change — and where — based on the edits you're already making.

Code with extensions

Customize VS Code with AI-powered functionality from extensions and Model Context Protocol servers to use in Chat. Or, build your own extension to power your team’s unique scenarios.
