I am absolutely floored with how good the claude code vs code extension works versus what it used to be. I've been using the terminal application for a long time because, frankly, it sucked before in the editor. It's now so good, I don't think I'll go back to the terminal anymore. Great job, team.
Hi,
I am new to Claude, so forgive me if this seems like a bad question. Is there an VScode extension for claude like github copilot?
Has Anthropic considered developing a programming assistant for VSCode, similar to GitHub Copilot? I'm looking for an alternative that doesn't rely on their API due to cost concerns.
I can't find the official extension in VSCode, does anyone know if it's availabel or not, or how to install it?
Cheers

BEFORE YOU DOWNVOTE THIS IS ABOUT VSCODIUM NOT VSCODE
You might have seen this presentation. They mention the new Claude Code Extension. Ok in the demo there was just Claude code running in the vscode Terminal. Marketplace does not show any official Anthropic Extension.
If you run Claude Code there is the posibility to configure ide wiht /ide.
But it says there is no extension installed?! OK i have VScodium but I cant find any official Anthropic Ext anywhere.
Thoughts on this?
Edit: update - i have just installed official vscode instead of vscoidum and ran the claude code. it promted this:
