Coder Remote

The Coder Remote extension lets you open Coder workspaces with a single click.

Open workspaces from the dashboard in a single click.
Automatically start workspaces when opened.
No command-line or local dependencies required - just install your editor!
Works in air-gapped or restricted networks. Just connect to your Coder deployment!
Supports multiple editors: VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Note

The extension builds on VS Code-provided implementations of SSH. Make sure you have the correct SSH extension installed for your editor (ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh or codeium.windsurf-remote-openssh for Windsurf).

Getting Started

Launch VS Code Quick Open (Ctrl+P), paste the following command, and press enter.

ext install coder.coder-remote

Alternatively, manually install the VSIX from the latest release.

Variables Reference

Coder uses ${userHome} from VS Code's variables reference. Use this when formatting paths in the Coder extension settings rather than ~ or $HOME.

Example: ${userHome}/foo/bar.baz
