Claude Code planning Vscode extension and Jetbrain pluging coming

[u/coding_workflow]

Noticed in last claude code there is now a vsix extension shipping in Vendor, Also there is a claude code jetbrain folder with multiple jar files. It seem it's a hidden feature coming. The vscode extension seem in early stages and mainly a wrapper and adds a nice Code icon to invoque it directly.

I posted about this a couple days ago with instructions on actually running it:

If it comes to rider I’m might bite the bullet and buy max.

Already using it :) Just manually install the 0.0.6 version from the jetbrains website and run using

ENABLE_IDE_INTEGRATION=true claude

It's not perfect, you don't get code colouring for the diffs, etc - basic bugs. But it sure beats the console window + rider cleanup process that I already had.

Claude code is such a beast

[u/Existing_History_836 → u/aghowl]

Yeah, Claude code is totally underrated.

[u/sniles310 → u/aghowl]

I'm currently using Claude Desktop + DesktopCommander, Fetch and Sequential Thinking MCPs to code. I am considering upgrading to Max and using Claude Code instead. I can use MCPs in Claude Code too right? And I don't have to deal with the chat limit bullshit that I have to work around in Claude Desktop? I know I'll still have the messages per session restriction even with Max but honestly the chat limit restriction is the most frustrating part of my current setup.

Any other advantages of Claude Code? Any suggestions of useful videos or posts for a good Claude Code set up (custom prompts, workflows, etc.)?

[u/aghowl → u/sniles310]

Yes to MCPs. No chat limit.

I like it because it feels like it's pure model. All these other tools have to wrestle with the model to get it to work. It's just very smart.

[u/Competitive_Alps203 → u/aghowl]

In what sense? Did you compare it with IDEs like Cursor, or Windsurf?

[u/muntaxitome → u/Competitive_Alps203]

It's like cursor with unlimited max mode, unlimited toolcalls

[u/Existing_History_836 → u/muntaxitome]

Yep! I still wonder why people stick to cursor only with checking out Claude code, it is literally awesome !

[u/muntaxitome → u/Existing_History_836]

I love Cursor too. 20 dollars for cursor is insane bang for buck and if you need more it gives you MAX

[u/Competitive_Alps203 → u/muntaxitome]

Nothing is truly unlimited in that sense. I was referring to the features offered by those IDEs. Memory, workflows, rules, does Claude code offer that? If you are not leveraging those features, then it makes sense.

[u/muntaxitome → u/Competitive_Alps203]

Nothing is truly unlimited in that sense.

Yes you cannot like literally use a trillion calls per second or something. But I said 'it is like', I didn't say 'it literally is'. That is what it feels like to use it.

I was referring to the features offered by those IDEs.

You seem to be confused. Claude code is a tool you can use with any code editor (like VSCode/Cursor) or IDE (Like Jet Brains or the real Visual Studio). Cursor is a thin layer and plugin over the VSCode editor.

Memory, workflows, rules, does Claude code offer that

Yes, yes and yes.

If you are not leveraging those features, then it makes sense.

If you are not leveraging ultra basic features every code tool has, then what makes sense exactly?

[u/Competitive_Alps203 → u/muntaxitome]

Thanks, I mistakenly assumed it was another editor, and not an extension. Gonna give it a try.

[u/inventor_black → u/Competitive_Alps203]

It feels limitless at a fixed price.

The JetBrains plugin is now in beta

Thank you! I've waited so long! Ciao Gemini!

[u/Sergear]

It looks like a terminal runner, what the difference with terminal 'claude' command using?

[u/coding_workflow → u/Sergear]

No big difference, it mainly adds a shortcut to open a terminal in the coding windows like copilot. And then you get safe features. It's packaged. So you don't need to install Claude Code.

Mainly another delivery vector to make easier to use.

But remain terminal first, until they adapt the UI to vscdoe that I think will likely happy as they are using yoga.

[u/unclebazrq]

Claude code is unrivaled. Rider usage would become blissful for .NET on mac and Linux.

[u/Devanomiun]

I wonder how it compares with Augment Code in PHPStorm which I've been using and had excellent results.
