What is Continue?
Continue is an open-source AI coding assistant that runs as an extension in VS Code and JetBrains IDEs. It gives you AI chat, autocomplete, and inline code editing, similar to what Cursor offers, but without locking you into a specific editor.
Because Continue is open source, you can audit exactly what data it sends and where. You configure models through a JSON file, specifying the provider, model name, API key, and base URL for each. That's what makes the EUrouter integration straightforward: add your EUrouter API key and base URL to the config, and all AI requests route through Europe. You can configure multiple models and switch between them while coding.
Quick to integrate
A few lines of code is all it takes. Swap your base URL and you are routed through EUrouter.

Follow these steps to connect your application to EUrouter.
Install Continue
Install the Continue extension from the VS Code marketplace or JetBrains plugin repository.
Edit the config file
Open ~/.continue/config.json and add a model entry with the openai provider, your EUrouter API key, and the EUrouter base URL.

Open Continue in your editor and start using AI code assistance. All requests route through EU infrastructure.
Why use Continue with EUrouter
Open source, EU hosted
Continue's code is on GitHub. You can see exactly what context it sends to the model, what telemetry it collects (or doesn't), and how it handles your data. Pair that transparency with EUrouter's EU-based inference, and you have an AI coding setup where nothing is a black box.
- Full source code available for audit on GitHub
- No telemetry sent to third parties by default
- Self-hostable if your security team requires it
- EU-based inference through EUrouter completes the compliance picture
Any model, one config
Continue's config.json lets you define multiple models. You might use GPT-4o for complex refactors where you need strong reasoning, Mistral for fast autocomplete, and Claude for explaining unfamiliar code. All of them connect through EUrouter with the same API key.
- Define multiple models in ~/.continue/config.json
- Switch between them with a keyboard shortcut while coding
- Assign different models to chat vs autocomplete vs inline edits
- Every model routes through EUrouter's EU infrastructure
IDE-native AI for teams
If your team uses a mix of VS Code and JetBrains IDEs, Continue works in both. Each developer gets their own EUrouter API key with a spend limit. The team lead can monitor usage from the EUrouter dashboard without needing access to individual machines.
- Works in VS Code, JetBrains (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.)
- Per-developer API keys with configurable monthly budgets
- Centralized usage tracking across the team via EUrouter's dashboard
- GDPR-compliant setup suitable for enterprise deployments in regulated industries
