QT CONTEXT TO AI AGENTS
Qt-Aware Agentic AI in Your IDE
Qt Creator allows you to easily use AI agents within the IDE, having them perform various actions on your behalf. For example, AI agents can:
-
Analyze your code,
-
Create and update code based on natural language prompts,
-
Run commands,
-
Trigger builds.
AI agent of your choice: Use preset configurations for common agents, e.g. Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, and more.
Qt context: Make your agent smarter about your Qt project through the MCP Server extension.
Not just in your IDE, also aware of it: Get an extra boost from how Qt Creator's own state is exposed as context.
Coding, Debugging, & Profiling
Write, edit, and navigate smoothly in your source code. Gain efficiency with code completion, syntax highlighting and agentic development. Become proficient with even inherited code fast with language servers for QML and C++. Use linting, refactoring and localization tools. Efficiently debug & profile your code, also for QML.
Creating & Managing Projects
Collaborate across functions. Create and manage projects in various formats. Use your preferred build system, for example, CMake, and a version control, for example, Git, making various code reviews.
Unit Testing & Analyzing Code
Write and run tests as a part of your development cycle. Use testing frameworks such as Qt Test, Boost.Test, Catch2 or Google C++. Manage your development testing, be it test- or behavior-driven.
Deployment to Target Platforms & Devices
Automate deployment as a part of your test or development cycle. Efficiently deploy your project to various target devices and platforms, including Android, iOS, embedded Linux, etc.
SCALE UP YOUR DEVELOPMENT
Qt Creator IDE Extensions
Qt Creator hosts various IDE extensions, plugins and other supplementary components for you to choose from.
The extensions provide additional capabilities to scale and extend the IDE and bring efficiency to your development. They include, for example, AI, productivity improvements, visual tweaks, or integrations to version control or build systems, or additional programming languages.
