Kendo UI for Angular AI Coding Assistant Overview
The Kendo UI for Angular AI Coding Assistant improves your developer experience and increases your productivity when implementing Angular apps that include Kendo UI for Angular. The coding assistant is an AI code generator that provides proprietary context to AI models in order to produce higher quality code samples with the Kendo UI for Angular components and API.
The AI Coding Assistant is integrated in:
The major differences between these tools are:
- The MCP server is more powerful and can handle more complex prompts that require several requests to the AI model. An MCP-enabled client like Cursor or GitHub Copilot in Agent mode can directly suggest changes to your app and even rebuild it to verify the new AI generated code.
- The responses of the GitHub Copilot extension may contain more explanations on how to accomplish the task, and shorter or partial code snippets. When using the MCP server, the AI response is mostly code.
Getting Started
To use the Kendo UI for Angular AI Coding Assistant, you need:
- A Telerik user account.
- An active DevCraft or Kendo UI for Angular license or a Kendo UI for Angular trial.
- An Angular application that includes Kendo UI for Angular.
Number of Requests
The Kendo UI for Angular AI Coding Assistant allows the following maximum number of requests, depending on your Telerik license type:
- Perpetual licenses—50 requests per year.
- Subscription licenses—virtually unlimited number of requests with a fair use threshold of 300 requests per day.
- Trial licenses—300 requests per trial per year. Activating the same trial for a new release does not grant additional 300 requests.
All Telerik AI tools share a single request limit for your Telerik account. For example, the Kendo UI for Angular Copilot extension and the Kendo UI for Angular MCP server both take up from the same usage quota. When using the Kendo UI for Angular MCP server, one prompt may trigger several requests, depending on the prompt complexity.
Privacy
The Kendo UI for Angular AI Coding Assistant operates under the following conditions:
- The Assistant does not have access to your workspace and application code. Note that when using the Kendo UI for Angular MCP server (or any other MCP server), the LLM generates parameters for the MCP server request, which may include parts of your application code.
- The Assistant does not use your prompts to train Telerik AI models.
- The Assistant does not generate the actual responses and has no access to these responses. The Assistant only provides a better context that helps your selected model (for example, GPT, Gemini, Claude) provide better responses.
- The Assistant does not associate your prompts to your Telerik user account. Your prompts and generated context are anonymized and stored for statistical and troubleshooting purposes.
- The Assistant stores metrics about how often and how much you use it in order to ensure compliance with the allowed number of requests that correspond to your current license.
Make sure to also get familiar with the terms and privacy policy of your selected AI model and AI client.
Next Steps
- Install the Kendo UI for Angular GitHub Copilot Extension.
- Add the Kendo UI for Angular MCP Server to an MCP-enabled client.
