IDE Extensions

Discovery Accelerator — Starter and Full alike — runs inside VS Code through one extension: QuickCloud Discovery Accelerator (AI) (quickcloud.quickcloud-discovery-ai). There is no separate "Starter extension" or "Full extension." Your subscription determines which capabilities are unlocked; the install is identical either way.

Install

• VS Code — Marketplace listing, then use Accelerators in your customer portal to continue into Discovery Account.
• Eclipse / IntelliJ — not yet available. Only the VS Code extension is confirmed and published today; don't trust listings elsewhere claiming otherwise.

Connect it to your account

1. Subscribe to Starter or Full from the pricing page.
2. Sign in to your customer portal using the email from checkout.
3. From Portal → Accelerators, continue through Discovery SSO into Discovery Account → Accelerators.
4. Create your qck_live_* Product API Token in Discovery Account.
5. In the VS Code extension, enter that Product API Token when prompted.

If you do not land on Discovery Account → Accelerators after signing in, go back to the portal and use Accelerators again.

Starter vs Full in the extension

Same extension, same install, same sign-in. The only difference is which capabilities your account is entitled to — enforced server-side, not by which software you have installed:

Starter accounts see Assessment and Understand hidden in the pipeline UI. The server enforces this boundary — the badge is a convenience, not the security control — so requesting a Full-only capability from a Starter account returns an upgrade prompt rather than partial data.

Upgrading from Starter to Full

Upgrading is a subscription change, not a reinstall. You keep the same extension, the same sign-in, the same imported projects, and the same Discovery history — Assessment and Understand simply become available once your account's entitlement refreshes after the upgrade completes.

Troubleshooting

• "Extension not installed" — install the extension from the Marketplace link above, then return to Portal → Accelerators.
• Discovery prompts you to sign in again — complete the Discovery SSO flow and continue to Discovery Account → Accelerators. If access still fails, contact hello@quickcloud.co.
• Missing Discovery account — if Discovery does not recognize your account after SSO, contact hello@quickcloud.co so the Discovery account can be provisioned correctly.
• "Not entitled" errors on Assessment/Understand — these are Full-only capabilities. Entitlement is authoritative in Discovery. See Upgrade to Full from your portal.
• AI Gateway API key revoked — this affects QuickCloud AI Gateway access, not Discovery Product API Token issuance. Resubscribe from the pricing page, or contact hello@quickcloud.co if that looks wrong.
• Portal or Discovery unavailable — retry from Portal → Accelerators once service is restored; contact hello@quickcloud.co if it persists.
