The read

CodeGPT is an IDE extension for VS Code and JetBrains that lets developers bring their own API keys for Claude, Gemini, GPT-4o, or other models and pay those providers directly with no markup. It offers planning and analysis before code generation, autocomplete, inline chat, and MCP integrations for external system access. The free plan covers 30 interactions per month, and the $8 per month BYOK Pro plan unlocks unlimited interactions. Because you supply your own keys, your data goes directly to the provider you choose rather than through a CodeGPT backend. The free tier is thin enough that serious daily use requires the paid plan.

Where it shines

  • Bring-your-own-key model with zero markup on API calls
  • Works with any provider including Claude, Gemini, GPT-4o, and local models
  • Free 30 interactions per month with $8 upgrade path

Worth knowing first

  • Free tier limited to 30 interactions per month
  • No proprietary context engine; relies entirely on the key holder's model
