Qodo Gen - Agentic coding to generate confidence, not just code.

by
Qodo Gen, part of Qodo's code integrity platform, embeds AI agents into IDEs to improve coding, testing, and quality workflows. With deep context awareness, agents help devs solve complex coding and write cleaner, more efficient code with less manual effort.

Hi Product Hunt,

I’m Almog, the lead product manager of Qodo Gen ✨.

We first released Qodo Gen, our IDE plugin for AI coding, in 2023, we focused on not just helping developers use AI to write more code faster, but to give them AI-powered tools that would enable smoother workflows and higher-quality code.

We started with test generation and context-aware code suggestions, and over the past two years, we’ve been working hard to build our multi-agent code integrity platform. We expanded context-awareness to entire codebases, made it easy to integrate the latest AI models, and refined how AI fits into real-world development.

Two years since the first version of Qodo Gen, a lot has changed in the AI landscape.

New, more powerful models have entered with strong reasoning capabilities. Meanwhile, developers increasingly expect AI to feel native in their workflows.

With Qodo Gen 1.0, we’re excited to offer agentic workflows, elevating AI coding from auto-complete and single prompt answers to agents that work autonomously through complex coding tasks.

That means Qodo Gen’s coding agent can make decisions, ask questions, use external tools, and execute multi-step tasks on its own. We built in extensible tooling using Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling our code and test agents to call external tools to carryout workflows inside the IDE, from web search, to Jira, to gits and more.

Test generation has always been at the core of Qodo Gen, driving our mission to help developers push high quality code.

With Qodo Gen 1.0, we introduce a new semi-agentic test generation workflow, helping developers create better, higher quality tests faster.

It’s an exciting moment for us Qodo, and we hope by using Qodo Gen you can generate confidence, not just code.


Try it out — Qodo Gen is available for VSCode and Jetbrains—we’d love to know what you think in the comment!

@almog_lv , how do you think teams should manage MCPs? Or should people handle this individually?

Mohini shewale

@almog_lv definitely explore this amazing product. Congratulations on th launch n upvoted 🙌

Mohini shewale

@almog_lv best tool ever...

We actually thought about this before 1.0 launch. We MCP servers tend to be a matter of personal preference - people find some more relevant than others based on their workflow.

Plus, servers sometimes require personal tokens which isn't something developers normally share across teams.

That said, we see some teams standardizing on certain core MCPs while leaving room for individual preferences on others. It's a balance between consistency and personal productivity.

We're working on allowing enterprise clients to add MCP servers to their flows, giving organizations more control over integration points while maintaining security and compliance requirements.

Installed the Qodo extension for VS Code and it just one-shotted a feature from a pull request, all code, along with tests, even with some cases I hadn't specifically called out. Really cool work, especially the new agentic mode that has the MCP tools usage built-in (there are other commands that make it more obvious like GitHub list issues integration etc that are useful).

Kudos on the launch! 👏

@liran_tal1 

Thanks for the positive feedback, Liran! Great to hear Qodo's extension delivered such a complete solution on your first try. The agentic mode with MCP tools integration has been one of our key focuses, so it's awesome to see it working well for you.

Out of curiosity, what is your daily IDE, and has it changed in the last year?

Liran Tal

@sagi_m VS Code and hasn't changed ;-)

Nadav Cohen

All you need from your coding assistant in the IDE you already love using. Can't beat this experience! (I'm biased. My super talented team of engineers built this thing <3 <3 <3)

Itamar Friedman

@tiny_the_hunter , how many human developers and how many artificial?

Sagi Medina

@tiny_the_hunter @maritamar And how many hybrid?

Ilan Chemla

Qodo Gen + MCPs 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Awesome!!! 🤩🤩🤩

Itamar Friedman

@ilchemla , what is your top-3 MCP list?

Ilan Chemla

@maritamar 
1. Database (SQLite/Postgres/DBX)
2. Notion
3. Web Search of course (EXA/Playwright)

Almog Lavi

@ilchemla We're waiting for your own hand-made MCP :)

Dimitris Effrosynidis

I'm a simple man. I see a cool logo -> I try the product

Itamar Friedman

@deffro , thank you!
We really love Qodo (the anteater)!
You can get stickers and swag in 2025 conferences around the world, e.g. including: GitHub Universe, Microsoft Build, re:Invent, Lead dev, ..

Kay Kwak

The ability to automatically generate sequence diagrams for API calls is especially intriguing. Wish you good luck with the launch! 🎉

Itamar Friedman

@kay_arkain , wow, you found that easter egg!!

Gavriel Cohen

Cool!! Gonna try this out for my next "vibe coding" session :)

Almog Lavi

@gavriel_cohen Waiting for your feedback 🙃

Hi, I’m Itamar, one of the makers of Qodo (and playing the CEO role ;)).

First, I’m really proud of everyone at Qodo who worked so hard to get this out.
We’re truly developers building for developers, and we couldn’t be more excited for you to try out Qodo Gen 1.0.

AI coding tools have come a long way, but real development isn’t just about generating code—it’s about solving problems across an entire workflow.
That’s why Qodo Gen 1.0 introduces Agent Mode, enabling AI to dynamically analyze tasks, pick the right tools, and execute multi-step workflows inside the IDE. Whether you’re fixing bugs, implementing new features, or building full-stack applications, Qodo Gen handles the complexity so you can focus on shipping.

A key part of making this possible is Model Context Protocol (MCP), which allows Qodo Gen to integrate directly with enterprise tools like Jira, Git, APIs, and CI/CD pipelines. Instead of switching between platforms, developers can now search for Jira tickets, pull relevant Git commits, and trigger deployments—all in one agentic flow.

We’ve also expanded test generation, bringing a step-by-step agentic flow directly into the AI chat. Qodo Gen now guides developers through generating full test suites, including edge cases and mocks, all within the IDE.

Our users range from enterprise teams working on massive codebases to students learning to build their first applications. Whether you’re navigating large-scale development or just getting started, Qodo Gen adapts to your needs and evolves with your workflow.

This is just the beginning.
We’d love to hear how you’re using Qodo Gen 1.0 and what you’d like to see next.
Try it out and let us know what you think!

Mohamed Zakarya

Wishing you all the recognition and success this deserves—excited to see what’s next!

Almog Lavi

@mohamed_zakarya Thanks! More exciting stuff are coming soon 💪

Sri Rang

I manage multiple "hobby projects" on the side.


I'm excited about the possibility manage Ops (revenueOps, infraOps, customerOps etc.) with MCP tooling right from my IDE with Qodo.

Almog Lavi

@sri_at_qodo Interesting use case! Let us know how it goes!
