Cline

Cline can handle complex software development tasks step-by-step. With tools that let him create & edit files, explore large projects, use the browser, and execute terminal commands (after you grant permission), he can assist you in ways that go beyond code completion or tech support. Cline can even use the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to create new tools and extend his own capabilities. While autonomous AI scripts traditionally run in sandboxed environments, this extension provides a human-in-the-loop GUI to approve every file change and terminal command, providing a safe and accessible way to explore the potential of agentic AI.

console-chat-gpt

Enjoy seamless interactions with ChatGPT, MistralAI, Claude by Anthropic, Grok by xAI, Gemini by Google and DeepSeek directly from your command line. Elevate your chat experience with efficiency and ease.

Copilot-MCP

VSCode extension that acts as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) client, enabling integration between MCP servers and GitHub Copilot Chat

Cursor

Cursor is an AI-first code editor fork of VS Code that helps you code faster with built-in chat, edit, and debugging AI features. It supports MCP for enhanced AI capabilities and tool integration.
