Custom MCPs allow users to integrate external tools and services into Qodo Gen. This feature enhances the agent’s workflow by enabling it to access and use custom tools when needed.
Using the MCP protocol, Qodo Gen can interact with external services.
For example, if a Jira MCP is set up, you could ask "Find me a Jira ticket about XYZ" in the chat and get relevant information from your Jira project.
When you ask questions in Qodo Gen Chat, code replies can often include large chunks of code.
Instead of cluttering the chat, the new Artifacts feature lets you open these code snippets as separate files in your IDE. You can then apply the code directly to your project or compare it with other artifacts to select the best fit.
Inline Context is a powerful new way to bring your project’s code directly into Qodo Gen Chat conversations. Now, when you type @, you’ll see a dynamic menu allowing you to quickly find and reference relevant Folders, Files, Classes, Functions, or Methods from your project.
Find Code Fast – Simply search and select the exact code element you need. Improve Relevance – Give Qodo Gen Chat the right context instantly for more accurate and helpful responses.
Just type @ in the chat and experience a smarter, more efficient experience!
We’re excited to introduce Chat Preferences, giving you more control over how Qodo Gen Chat interacts with you!
Chat Preferences enable you to:
Set Custom Instructions Personalize responses with specific guidelines, like “Reply in Spanish” or “Keep answers under 50 words.” You can choose to apply these guidelines to any specific command or to all commands in general.
Customize the Code Editor Configure how Qodo Gen integrates in your editor.
Fine-Tune Code Completion Add custom instructions that affect your Code Completion suggestions.
Optimize Codebase Indexing Control how many snippets from local and remote projects are used for smarter AI context.
To get started, open Qodo Gen Chat, click the menu button in the top right, and select Chat Preferences. Try it out and make your Qodo Gen Chat experience even better!
Qodo Gen now supports either Classic and Agentic workflow modes. Classic mode offers a more manual Qodo Gen experience, including . Agentic Mode makes interactions more dynamic and less structured, proactively assisting with tasks and providing contextual suggestions.
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It’s an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to AI Models. .
