Continue.dev is an open source AI coding assistant for VS Code and JetBrains, plus the Continue Hub where developers discover and share building blocks for AI agents: models, rules, prompts, docs, and MCP servers. Instead of locking you to one provider, it lets you wire up your own assistants from mix-and-match components and run them inside your editor or from the command line.
How to access / install
- Visit the website and hub: https://www.continue.dev/
- Install the IDE extensions from the VS Code Marketplace (“Continue”) or the JetBrains Marketplace.
- Use the CLI for terminal and headless/agent workflows:
npm i -g @continuedev/cli
cn
- Browse and remix shared blocks (models, MCP servers, rules, prompts) on the Continue Hub, then
reference them in your
config.yamlassistant definition.
Good for
- Teams that want an open, customizable alternative to closed AI assistants.
- Developers assembling custom agents from reusable models, rules, and MCP servers.
- Anyone who works across both VS Code and JetBrains and wants one consistent setup.
- Sharing standardized assistant configs and context blocks across a team via the hub.
