What is CodeGPT?
CodeGPT is an AI coding agent delivered as an extension for Visual Studio Code and a plugin for JetBrains IDEs such as IntelliJ and PyCharm. Before writing anything it reads the codebase and drafts a plan that the developer can edit; changes and terminal commands then wait for approval. The agent is not tied to one model. Users can pick Claude, GPT, Gemini or Grok, run open models locally through Ollama or LM Studio, and either supply their own provider API keys or spend CodeGPT credits. Further tools include MCP connections to external APIs, documentation and databases, project rules that enforce coding standards, a live view of context usage and code autocomplete. CodeGPT LLC, the company behind it, also sells custom AI agent services to businesses.
Key Features
Plan-first agent
Reads the project, proposes an editable plan and only afterwards starts changing code.
Multi-model support
Switches between Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok and local models per task without moving the code.
Bring your own keys
Uses API keys from your own provider accounts, so usage is billed by that provider.
MCP connections
Links the agent to external APIs, documentation sources and databases.
Project rules
Applies rules you define so generated code follows team conventions.
Approved terminal commands
Runs commands in the terminal but pauses for confirmation before anything is modified.
