Installation Methods

VS Code & Cursor Extension

The BLAZLE IDE Extension provides real-time security scanning as you or your AI (Cursor/Copilot) write code. It hooks into the file save event and validates the document against BLAZLE policies.

Installation

Since the extension is currently in private Beta, you need to install it manually via the VSIX file:

Download BLAZLE VS Code Extension (.vsix)
  • After downloading the blazle-vscode-1.0.0.vsix file, open the Extensions panel in VS Code (Ctrl+Shift+X).
  • Click the Views and More Actions button (...) at the top right of the Extensions panel.
  • Select Install from VSIX... and choose the downloaded file.

Configuration

Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P) and run:

> BLAZLE: Set API Key

Paste your blz_live_... API key. Ensure that the BLAZLE Local Proxy is running on port 8081.

How it works

Whenever a file is saved, the extension formats the document as a Git Diff and sends it to the Local Proxy's http://localhost:8081/intercept/diff API. Since scanning happens locally via the Blazil Engine, it boasts 0.1ms latency. If secrets are found, they are immediately highlighted with red squiggly lines directly in your editor.
