These tools are no longer actively supported for use with CBorg. They may still work but are not recommended for new users.
Aider
Aider is a terminal-based AI pair programmer that works with your local git repository to make code changes.
Cline (VS Code)
Cline is an autonomous coding agent for VS Code.
Roo Code (VS Code)
Roo Code is a fork of Cline. It has been superseded by Zoo Code, which is 100% open-source.
Continue (VS Code)
Continue is an open-source AI coding assistant for VS Code that supports chat, autocomplete, and inline edits.
Gemini CLI
Gemini CLI is Google’s terminal-based AI coding agent. It has been superseded by Antigravity CLI.
Cursor
Cursor is an AI-first code editor (fork of VS Code) with deep model integration for chat, edits, and code generation. Support for the CBorg API is limited: the Cursor setup page documents CBorg models working in ‘Ask’ and ‘Manual’ modes but not in ‘Agent’ mode, and connections have also been reported to fail due to IP address routing restrictions. These two reports have not yet been reconciled – treat the combination as unreliable and prefer another tool.
JupyterAI
Jupyter AI brings a chat interface and magic commands directly into JupyterLab notebooks. This is currently incompatible with the >3.0 release of JupyterAI.
RStudio (gptstudio)
gptstudio is an RStudio add-in that adds AI chat and code assistance to the R development environment. This has not been tested recently.

CBorg Client Proxy
The CBorg Client Proxy lets you run a local OpenAI-compatible endpoint that forwards requests to CBorg. This is not needed for most current tooling.
