RocketRide for VS Code

Build, debug, and deploy AI pipelines - without leaving your IDE.

Works in every VS Code-based editor. The same build supports VS Code and forks such as Cursor, Windsurf, and VSCodium — the visual canvas, runtime management, and pipeline tooling behave identically everywhere. The extension also auto-detects your coding agent — GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf — and writes RocketRide agent rules into your workspace so the editor's AI understands how to build RocketRide pipelines.

VS Code Marketplace GitHub Discord MIT License

Quick Start

  1. Install the RocketRide extension from the VS Code Marketplace
  2. Click the RocketRide icon in the Activity Bar
  3. Create a .pipe file - it opens automatically in the visual canvas builder
  4. Wire up nodes by connecting input and output lanes, then hit Play to run

What is RocketRide?

RocketRide is an open-source, developer-native AI pipeline platform. It lets you build, debug, and deploy production AI workflows without leaving your IDE - using a visual drag-and-drop canvas or code-first with TypeScript and Python SDKs.

You build your .pipe - and you run it against the fastest AI runtime available.

  • 100+ ready-to-use nodes - 15+ LLM providers, 9 vector databases, OCR, NER, PII anonymization, and more
  • High-performance C++ engine - production-grade speed and reliability
  • Deploy anywhere - locally, on-premises, or self-hosted with Docker
  • MIT licensed - fully open-source, OSI-compliant

Features

  • Visual canvas builder - Drag, drop, and wire up AI workflows directly in VS Code. Create .pipe files to get started.

  • Debugging & live traces - Monitor running pipelines in real time with execution traces, token usage, and memory stats, see exactly what your agents are doing at every step.

  • App Builder - Scaffold, live-preview, publish, and deploy Shell Apps from a template, without leaving VS Code.

  • Connection manager - Connect to a local engine (one click, no setup) or your own on-premises server.

  • SDKs for TypeScript, Python & MCP - Embed pipelines in your apps or expose them as tools for AI assistants.
