Ooh, VS Code integration for Claude Code sounds nice. I do feel like Claude Code...

When you install claude code (or update it) there is a .vsix file in the same area where claude bin is.

Thanks, I found it in node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/vendor

What would this do other than run Claude Code in the same directory you have open in VSC?

Show diffs in my editor windows, like Cursor agent mode does, is what I'm hoping.

Use `git diff` or your in-editor git diff viewer

Of course I do. But I don't generally make a git commit between every prompt to the model, and I like to see the model's changes separately from mine.

Claude Code as a tool call, from Copilot‘s own agent (agent in an agent) seems to be working well. Peter Steinberger made an MCP that does this: https://github.com/steipete/claude-code-mcp

Run claude in the terminal in VSCode (or cursor) and it will install automatically!

modeless · 2025-05-22T18:35:21 1747938921

Doesn't work in Cursor over ssh. I found the VSIX in node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/vendor and installed it manually.

Found it!

Let us know if you were able to get it installed. You need to run claude inside the vscode (or cursor/windsurf) terminal for it to auto-install.

Claude code is a poorer version of aider or cline in VScode. I have better results using them than using claude code alone.

phyalow · 2025-05-23T10:48:57 1747997337

Have you upgraded your binary recently. I feel like this was true 1-2 months ago, but not anymore.

ChadMoran · 2025-05-22T17:58:25 1747936705

I've been looking for that as well.

ChadMoran · 2025-05-22T18:56:42 1747940202

Run claude cli from inside of VS Code terminal.
