VS Code Continue

Configure Continue extension for VS Code to use agentgateway

Configure Continue, the open-source AI code assistant for VS Code, to route requests through agentgateway.

Before you begin

1. Install the agentgateway binary.
2. Install VS Code with the Continue extension.

Example agentgateway configuration

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://agentgateway.dev/schema/config
llm:
  port: 3000
  models:
  - name: "*"
    provider: openAI
    params:
      apiKey: "$OPENAI_API_KEY"

Configure Continue

1. Edit the ~/.continue/config.json file to add your agentgateway endpoint.
2. Save the file and reload Continue in VS Code.

{
  "models": [
    {
      "title": "agentgateway",
      "provider": "openai",
      "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
      "apiBase": "http://localhost:3000/v1"
    }
  ]
}

Review the following table to understand this configuration.

Field	Description
title	Display name shown in the Continue model selector.

2. Select agentgateway from the model dropdown.
3. Send a test message: “Hello, are you working?”
