CodeGPT

What is CodeGPT?

CodeGPT is an AI coding assistant for developers using Visual Studio Code or JetBrains IDEs. It follows a bring-your-own-key model, allowing users to connect their chosen model provider and pay that provider directly. The assistant can study a codebase, plan a solution, read files, explain its reasoning, and propose edits for the developer to review before changes are applied.

The product is model agnostic and can work with providers such as Anthropic, Google, and other supported model services. Its engineering tools include agent and planning modes, code completion, configurable rules, live context tracking, terminal access, and MCP connections to external APIs, documentation, and databases.

Core Features

• Codebase planning: Reviews project context and prepares a plan before implementing requested work.
• Developer-reviewed edits: Shows file reads, decisions, and proposed modifications before code changes are accepted.
• Model flexibility: Lets users switch among supported models and use their own provider API keys.
• Agent and planning modes: Supports multi-step coding work beyond single-response completion.
• Rules and context controls: Applies project instructions and displays context use during a task.
• MCP connectivity: Connects the assistant to APIs, documentation, databases, and other external systems.

Use Cases

• Code generation: Developers can turn feature requirements into planned code changes.
• Refactoring: Teams can ask the assistant to understand existing structure and propose controlled improvements.
• Debugging: Engineers can use repository context and terminal access to investigate problems.
• Codebase navigation: Developers can ask questions about files, dependencies, and implementation choices.
• Standards enforcement: Teams can define rules that guide generated and modified code.

Pricing

The Free plan costs $0 per month and includes 30 interactions, agent and planning modes, and advanced autocomplete. BYOK Pro costs $8 per month and adds unlimited interactions. Users provide and pay for their own model API usage. Enterprise AI services use custom pricing.
