🚀 Feature: Create a VS Code Extension for DocsGPT API Integration

[slytechiefrommagentashore]

🔖 Feature description

A VS Code extension that integrates with the DocsGPT API, allowing developers to ask documentation-related questions directly inside their code editor.

The extension will provide a sidebar or command to send queries to DocsGPT and display responses within VS Code.

🎤 Why is this feature needed ?

DocsGPT helps developers understand documentation faster using AI, but currently users need to open a separate web interface.

By integrating DocsGPT directly into VS Code, developers can:

• Ask questions about documentation without leaving their editor.
• Get instant help on functions, classes, or libraries while coding.
• Improve productivity with contextual answers.

This aligns perfectly with DocsGPT’s mission to make technical documentation more accessible.

✌️ How do you aim to achieve this?

I will build a VS Code extension that uses the DocsGPT API.

MVP features:

• Command: “Ask DocsGPT”
• Sidebar panel with input box and response area
• Fetches answers via DocsGPT API endpoint.

Once complete, I’ll open a PR to link this new extension (similar to the Telegram extension).

🔄️ Additional Information

If approved, I’ll begin development right away and submit a meaningful PR

👀 Have you spent some time to check if this feature request has been raised before?

• I checked and didn't find similar issue

Are you willing to submit PR?

Yes I am willing to submit a PR!

Hi @dartpain

I’ve started working on the VS Code extension and wanted to test it with the DocsGPT API before submitting the PR.

According to the documentation, API keys can be created via the Settings → API Keys section in the DocsGPT web app (https://app.docsgpt.cloud/settings), but I couldn’t find that option in the UI — it doesn’t seem to appear for me.

Could you please confirm if the API key generation feature is currently available, or if there’s an alternative way to obtain one for testing purposes?

Its not via settings anymore, create an agent and click publish - you will get api keys there.

Is this issue still open? I haven’t noticed any updates in the last two weeks. I’m happy to help or work on it if needed. @dartpain
