VS Code extension that wires up Modelis — an OpenAI-compatible LLM gateway (one key routes to GPT/Claude/Gemini/DeepSeek/Grok/Qwen, flat per-call pricing) — into your coding agent in under a minute. No npm dependencies; ~150 lines, read it before trusting it.
Built for people migrating provider configs after Roo Code's shutdown (Zoo Code / Cline / Continue).

| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| Modelis: Set RapidAPI Key | Stores your key in VS Code's encrypted SecretStorage (never written to settings.json). |
| Modelis: Show Provider Config for My Tool | Quick-pick your tool (Cline/Roo/Zoo, Continue, Aider, raw SDK) → get the exact values, one click to copy. |
| Modelis: Start Local Proxy | Opens a terminal and runs npx modelis-openai — bridges Cline's Authorization: Bearer to the X-RapidAPI-Key header RapidAPI expects. |
| Modelis: Add to Continue Config | Writes/merges the Modelis entry directly into ~/.continue/config.yaml, then opens it for you to review. |

RapidAPI's gateway authenticates with X-RapidAPI-Key, but coding agents send the standard OpenAI
Authorization: Bearer header. modelis-openai (https://github.com/modelishub/modelis-openai) is
a ~120-line, zero-dependency local bridge that rewrites the header and forwards bytes — it does not
log or inspect message content.
No build step (plain CommonJS, no bundler). Open this folder in VS Code and press F5 to launch an Extension Development Host with it loaded.
