CodeGPT

CodeGPT is an AI coding agent for VS Code, JetBrains, and Visual Studio, presented by its maker as the AI coding agent for every model, with more than 2 million installs and a 4.8 out of 5 rating from 2,500 ratings listed on its site. Its working style is to think, plan, and then build: CodeGPT reads your codebase first, proposes a plan you can edit, and only then writes code. Total visibility is a core promise, so you can watch it read files, weigh options, and suggest edits, and you approve every step before anything changes, including terminal commands, which it runs while waiting for your approval before anything mutates. Model flexibility is its main differentiator. Developers can work with Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Grok, or with an open model through Ollama and LM Studio, and can swap models per task while the code stays where it is. Teams can bring their own API keys, with usage and billing staying on their own accounts, or use CodeGPT credits instead. Its toolkit includes MCP support that links the agent to APIs, docs, and databases as a bridge to external systems, Rules that the agent follows for consistent, standards-based code, and live Context tracking with no hidden limits, so developers can see context use as they work. Per the vendor, its capabilities cover code generation, refactoring, debugging, and agentic coding inside the editor developers already use. CodeGPT suits individual developers and teams who want an in-editor coding agent without being locked to a single model provider, and who want cost control and transparency over model access. Plan details and current pricing are listed on CodeGPT's site, and the extension is available through the VS Code Marketplace and the JetBrains plugin directory.
