Continue Integration

Cognee enables Continue to use knowledge graphs to index and retrieve code parts for better LLM context.

What is Continue?

Continue is a leading open-source AI code assistant. It allows you to connect any model and any context provider to create custom autocomplete and chat experience inside your IDE.

How to integrate Cognee into Continue?

In order to integrate Cognee we need to change a config file inside Continue plugin.

• Open the Continue extension window inside your IDE
• Locate the “Open Continue Config” button (cog icon) and click on it (Type it in VSCode Command Palette for quick access)
• Under contextProviders add the new http provider

{
  ...
  "contextProviders": {
    ...
    {
      "name": "http",
      "params": {
        "url": "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/code-pipeline/retrieve",
        "title": "cognee",
        "description": "Cognee code context retrieval",
        "displayTitle": "cognee"
      }
    },
