VS Code + NeoSmith

VS Code has the richest dual-path story. You can run both paths at once: Claude Code for agentic work, and an OpenAI-compatible agent (Cline/Continue) for chat and completions.

Path	Agent	Endpoint	Best for
A	Claude Code	`router.neosmith.ai`	Plan mode, multi-file edits, MCP
B	Cline / Continue	`router.neosmith.ai/v1`	Chat, completions, agentic loops

Path A — Claude Code extension

1. Set environment variables

Follow your platform guide for the exact mechanism:

macOS · Linux · Windows native · Windows WSL

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://router.neosmith.ai
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-plus-yourname-xxxxxx

Or use the one-command CLI:

npx @neosmithai/cli init sk-plus-yourname-xxxxxx

2. Install the extension

code --install-extension anthropic.claude-code

3. Open the Claude panel

Press Cmd+Esc (Mac) / Ctrl+Esc (Windows/Linux). The extension picks up the env vars automatically.

Path B — Cline or Continue

Pick one (or both):

Cline (agentic plan/act): Cline setup
Continue (chat + completions): Continue setup

Both install from the VS Code Extensions panel and point at https://router.neosmith.ai/v1.

Path C — GitHub Copilot BYOK (optional)

If your org uses GitHub Copilot with BYOK (GA April 2026), you can register NeoSmith as an OpenAI-compatible model provider in Copilot’s model settings:

Copilot → Models → Add model → OpenAI Compatible
  Base URL: https://router.neosmith.ai/v1
  API Key:  sk-plus-yourname-xxxxxx
  Model:    neosmith.intelligent-pro

Availability depends on your Copilot plan and org BYOK enablement.

Running both paths together

VS Code
  ├── Claude Code        ──► ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=router.neosmith.ai   (Path A)
  │   (plan mode, agentic tasks, MCP)
  └── Cline / Continue   ──► router.neosmith.ai/v1                    (Path B)
      (chat, completions, commit messages)

No conflict — both route to NeoSmith.

Works in all VS Code forks

Path A (Claude Code) works identically in Cursor, Windsurf, Kiro, and Google Antigravity — they all inherit VS Code’s extension ecosystem. See Cursor and Antigravity for fork-specific notes.
