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 [KorProxy]",
      "provider": "openai",
      "model": "claude-opus-4-5-20251101",
      "apiBase": "http://localhost:1337/v1",

"401 Unauthorized"

Re-authenticate the provider in KorProxy for the model you're trying to use.

Model not appearing in Continue

Reload VS Code window after editing config.json. Use Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P → "Developer: Reload Window".

JSON syntax error

Ensure your config.json is valid JSON. Check for missing commas or brackets.
