AiBridge

AiBridge is a plugin that exposes IDE-hosted language models (like those from GitHub Copilot) as a local, OpenAI-compatible REST API. This allows you to use your IDE's AI capabilities from external tools, CLI agents, and scripts.

Key Features

• OpenAI Compatibility: Drop-in replacement for any tool expecting the OpenAI API (Chat Completions, Models list).
• IDE Integration: Leverages the models already authenticated and available in your IDE.
• Security: Requires a local API key for all requests; supports storage in the IDE Password Safe.
• Monitoring: Built-in Tool Window showing real-time stats and request logs.
• Flexibility: Supports both streaming (SSE) and non-streaming responses.

Getting Started

1. Install: Install the "AiBridge" plugin from the JetBrains Marketplace.
2. Configure:
   • Go to Settings -> Tools -> AiBridge.
   • Set an AiBridge API Key (this is for authenticating your local clients).
   • Enable "Automatically start server" if desired.
3. Run: The server defaults to http://127.0.0.1:3040.
4. Verify: Check the "AiBridge" tool window on the right side of your IDE.

Usage Example

curl http://127.0.0.1:3040/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <your-aibridge-key>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-4o",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
  }'
