Integrate with ZCode ​

ZCode is Zhipu's lightweight desktop AI coding tool that manages multiple AI coding capabilities through a visual interface. ZCode supports connecting to any OpenAI-compatible custom model service, so you can configure it to use LongCat models.

I. Prerequisites ​

1. Install ZCode ​

Download the installer for your OS from the ZCode website (https://zcode.z.ai). Supported on Windows and macOS.

  • macOS: open the downloaded DMG file, drag ZCode into the "Applications" folder, then launch it from Launchpad.
  • Windows: run the downloaded installer and follow the prompts.

2. Get a LongCat API Key ​

Obtain your API Key from the LongCat Platform, and confirm on the Usage page that your account has sufficient token quota.

The LongCat API platform currently provides the following models:

Model NameAPI FormatDescription

II. Configure the LongCat API ​

  1. Open ZCode and click "Setting" > "Model settings" to open the model management page.
  2. Click "Add provider" and fill in the following:
    • Name: LongCat-2.0
    • Base URL: https://api.longcat.chat/openai
    • API Key: your LongCat API Key
    • API format: Chat completions(/chat/completions)
  3. Add a model with the Model ID LongCat-2.0.
  4. Save, then LongCat-2.0 will appear in the model selection list.

III. Using ZCode ​

  1. Open your local project folder in ZCode.
  2. Select LongCat-2.0 in the model selector.
  3. Enter your request in the chat box (for example, "Build me a React login page"). ZCode will generate code and try to edit your files.

If the conversation UI opens normally and you receive a reply, you're ready to use ZCode + LongCat.
