Set up Continue VS Code/JetBrains extension with Extend Proxy

Continue Setup

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

Prerequisites

• VS Code or JetBrains IDE installed
• Continue extension installed from VS Code Marketplace or JetBrains Marketplace
• Your API key and endpoint URL from admin

Setup

1. Open Continue Config

   Press Cmd+L to open Continue sidebar, then click the gear icon to open settings.

   This opens ~/.continue/config.yaml.

2. Configure OpenAI-Compatible Provider

   Add or update your config.yaml:

   name: Local Config
   version: 1.0.0
   schema: v1
   
   models:
     - name: Claude Opus 4.5
       provider: openai
       model: claude-opus-4-5-20250514
       apiBase: https://gateway.classicgroup.asia/v1
       apiKey: YOUR_API_KEY
       roles:
         - chat
         - edit
         - apply
   

   Use provider: openai (not anthropic) - this uses the OpenAI-compatible endpoint which works reliably.

   The apiBase must include /v1 at the end.

   The roles field is required - it tells Continue what to use the model for.
3. Select Local Config

   In Continue panel, check the top-right for config source dropdown. Make sure it says “Local Config” not “Google Cloud” or any team config.

4. Select Model

   Use the model dropdown in Continue to select “Claude Opus 4.5”.

5. Test

   Open the Continue sidebar and try a prompt.
