Visual Studio Code
An open-source code editor for multilingual development and AI agents
About Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio Code is an open-source AI code editor that lets AI agents plan tasks, modify code, run commands, and iteratively complete work. Users can run agents locally or in the cloud, choose providers such as Copilot, Claude, and OpenAI and different models, or connect any provider with their own key. The editor supports nearly all major programming languages and can extend agent tools through extensions and Model Context Protocol servers.
