# Supported IDEs

SonarQube for VS Code integrates with multiple IDEs built on the VS Code architecture and is designed to be easily installed and fully functional within these environments. This broad compatibility ensures that you can leverage SonarQube's code analysis tools while using your favorite IDE.

As a result, you can expect a consistent experience, with SonarQube's features like on-the-fly issue detection, quick fixes, rule customization, and connected mode working as intended, regardless of the specific VS Code-based IDE you’re using.

In addition, SonarQube's compatibility with VS Code forks extends to your integrated AI tools. SonarQube for VS Code is built to coexist with these AI features, so you can benefit from both intelligent code assistance and robust static analysis without conflicts.
