Install, sign in, keep coding. Here is exactly what happens and how to know it is working.
Pick the VS Code extension, the standalone CLI, or the Claude Code plugin - each covers Claude Code, Codex, and Kimi. This is the Claude Code plugin path.
Run setup. A browser tab opens, you approve, and you choose which tools can show a sponsored line - the exact changes are shown before anything happens, with a byte-exact backup.
The next time your AI thinks, one line appears in the wait-state. No banners, no takeovers, zero behavior change.
In the extension run Platfory: Show status, or on the CLI run platfory status. Every viewable impression and click is credited server-side and shows on your dashboard.
Your editor's CLI isn't on your PATH. Either use the one-line installer on the Install page (it finds your editor automatically), or run Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH from the Command Palette first.
Two things are needed: an active ad to serve (there must be a live campaign in the marketplace), and Claude Code actually running (that's the status line we render into). Run "Platfory: Show status" to confirm you're active.
Approve the sign-in in the browser tab; it deep-links back to your editor automatically. If your OS asks whether to open your editor, allow it, then run "Platfory: Show status".
No. One line renders through the tool's own status-line and spinner-tip hooks - no code interception, no proxy, nothing in your hot path.
Everything runs from the Command Palette:
| Platfory: Sign in | Opens your browser to sign in with GitHub, then stores your session in the editor. |
| Platfory: Sign out | Signs out and reverts every change the extension made. |
| Platfory: Pause ads | Stops showing sponsored lines without signing out. |
| Platfory: Resume ads | Resumes showing sponsored lines. |
| Platfory: Restore (revert all changes) | Reverts every change to your tool config and verifies the revert. |
| Platfory: Show status | Shows whether you're signed in and active, and your integrated tools. |
The API endpoint is the platfory.apiBaseUrl setting, defaulting to https://www.platfory.ai/api. Leave it as-is for the live service.
