Continue Extension Setup Guide

Configure Continue to use your AI subscriptions through KorProxy

Overview

Continue is an open-source AI code assistant extension for VS Code and JetBrains IDEs.

KorProxy lets you use your own AI subscriptions (Gemini, Claude, OpenAI) with Continue, giving you full control over which models you use and their costs.

Prerequisites

  • KorProxy app installed and running
  • Continue extension installed in VS Code or JetBrains
  • At least one provider authenticated in KorProxy (Gemini, Claude, or OpenAI)

Configuration

Edit ~/.continue/config.json to add KorProxy models:

{
  "models": [
    {
      "title": "Claude Opus 4.5 Thinking High [KorProxy]",
      "provider": "openai",
      "model": "claude-opus-4-5-thinking-high",
      "apiBase": "http://localhost:1337/v1",
