Introduction

What is CodeGate?

CodeGate is an open source local proxy that works with AI coding assistants in your IDE to enhance privacy and security. CodeGate performs code security reviews, identifies vulnerabilities in package dependencies, and prevents sensitive data like secrets from being shared with AI models.

Supported environments

CodeGate supports several development environments and AI providers.

AI coding assistants / IDEs:

• GitHub Copilot with Visual Studio Code

• Continue with Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDEs

  CodeGate supports the following AI model providers with Continue:

  • Ollama
  • vLLM (OpenAI-compatible mode, including OpenRouter)
  • Anthropic API
  • OpenAI API
  • llama.cpp (locally-hosted models)

As the project evolves, we plan to add support for more IDE assistants and AI models.
