KendoReact AI Coding Assistant Overview

The KendoReact AI Coding Assistant improves your developer experience and boosts productivity when building apps with KendoReact. It’s an AI code generator that uses proprietary context to deliver higher-quality code samples based on the KendoReact components and API—part of a comprehensive library of professional React components designed to speed up development.

The KendoReact AI Coding Assistant is integrated in:

• The KendoReact GitHub Copilot Extension
• The KendoReact MCP Server

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 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 KendoReact AI Coding Assistant, you need:

• A Telerik user account.
• An active DevCraft or KendoReact license or a KendoReact trial.
• A React application that includes KendoReact.

A Telerik Subscription license is recommended in order to use the KendoReact AI Coding Assistant:

• Subscription license holders can make an unlimited number of requests.
• Perpetual license holders and trial users have a limited number of requests per year.

Next Steps

• Install the KendoReact GitHub Copilot Extension.
• Add the KendoReact MCP Server to an MCP-enabled client.
