# Continue Integration Guide

Continue is an open-source AI coding assistant plugin for VS Code and JetBrains. This guide explains how to configure it to call models through the UModelverse platform.

## **System Requirements**

| Platform | Requirements |
| --- | --- |
| Windows | Windows 10 or Windows 11 |
| macOS | macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or later |
| Linux | Mainstream distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, etc.) |

All platforms require: [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) or a JetBrains IDE already installed, and a network connection.

## **1. Install Continue**

-   **VS Code**: Search for `Continue` in the Extensions Marketplace and install it.
    
-   **JetBrains**: Search for `Continue` in the Plugins Marketplace and install it.
    

After installation, click the Continue icon in the sidebar to open the panel.

## **2. Configure the UModelverse API**

### 2.1 Obtain an API Key

Visit the [UModelverse Console](https://console.ucloud.cn/modelverse/api) to retrieve your API key. For available models, see the [supported models](https://api-us-ca.umodelverse.ai/v1/models) on the UModelverse platform.

### 2.2 Edit the Configuration File

Continue's configuration is located at `~/.continue/config.yaml`. Open that file and add UModelverse models under `models` (replace `YOUR_API_KEY` with your actual key):

![Continue configuration file example](https://cdnv2-cache.udelivrs.com/2026/06/5b4c7f8e2a2f9e254c22e1b848eed36d_1781261163306.png)

```
models:
  - name: claude-sonnet-4-6
    provider: openai
    model: claude-sonnet-4-6
    apiBase: https://api-us-ca.umodelverse.ai/v1
    apiKey: YOUR_API_KEY
  - name: gpt-5.2
    provider: openai
    model: gpt-5.2
    apiBase: https://api-us-ca.umodelverse.ai/v1
    apiKey: YOUR_API_KEY
```

> The above is an example. The `model` field can be replaced with any model listed in the [supported models](https://api-us-ca.umodelverse.ai/v1/models) on the UModelverse platform. Keep `provider` as `openai` (OpenAI-compatible mode); `apiBase` must include `/v1`.

After saving, the added models will be selectable from the model dropdown at the bottom of the Continue panel.

## **Frequently Asked Questions**

### Authentication failure or unable to connect?

Please verify each of the following:

1.  `apiKey` comes from the UModelverse platform — copy it in full with no extra spaces.
    
2.  `provider` is `openai` and `apiBase` is `https://api-us-ca.umodelverse.ai/v1`.
    
3.  `model` is one of the [supported models](https://api-us-ca.umodelverse.ai/v1/models) on the UModelverse platform and is spelled correctly.
