Integrations

Any OpenAI-compatible tool works with Helmcode. Change the base URL and API key — that’s it. Here are the ones we see most often.

What you need

  • Base URL: https://api.helmcode.com/v1
  • API key: from your Dashboard
  • A model id: e.g. qwen3.6 or deepseek-v4-flash (see Models)

Cursor

Settings → ModelsOpenAI API Key, then enable Override base URL:

  • Base URL: https://api.helmcode.com/v1
  • API key: your Helmcode key
  • Add a custom model id, e.g. qwen3.6

Zed

In settings.json:

{
  "language_models": {
    "openai": {
      "api_url": "https://api.helmcode.com/v1",
      "available_models": [{ "name": "qwen3.6", "max_tokens": 256000 }]
    }
  }
}

Continue (VS Code / JetBrains)

In config.json:

{
  "models": [{
    "title": "Helmcode",
    "provider": "openai",
    "apiBase": "https://api.helmcode.com/v1",
    "apiKey": "sk-your-key-here",
    "model": "deepseek-v4-flash"
  }]
}

OpenCode / any OpenAI SDK

Set the OpenAI base URL and key via environment variables:

export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api.helmcode.com/v1"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-your-key-here"

If a tool lets you set a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint, it works with Helmcode. Using one we haven’t covered here? Tell us.
