Indexing, retrieval, Git history reads, and PR-review workflows run on the developer's own machine — source code never leaves the device. Both the VS Code-family extension and the JetBrains plugin expose 30+ tools each over the Model Context Protocol, including the PR Review Hub bridge to GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket and Jira / Linear. Retrieval quality is published as an open, reproducible benchmark at /benchmarks — every install ships the same eval harness so users can verify the numbers on their own repository, no account required. The publisher is Franklin Group Ventures Ltd (UK Companies House no. 16361621). Current plugin version: 1.3.8 (June 2026). ## Quickstart 1. Install the Brogrammer extension from the [VS Code Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/) (covers VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf) or the [JetBrains Marketplace](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/) (covers IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, Rider, RubyMine). 2. Sign in via magic-link or GitHub / Google OAuth — no password to set, no credit card for the 7-day Pro trial. 3. Your MCP-aware agent (Claude Code, Cursor's AI panel, Continue, Windsurf, etc.) auto-discovers the locally-running MCP server. No port configuration, no API keys to paste. Indexing happens on first project open and stays incremental from there. Source code never leaves the machine; the backend only sees account-level metadata for billing and entitlement. ## Core pages - [Home](https://brogrammer.net/): What Brogrammer is, how it differs from cloud-uploading competitors (Cursor, Copilot, Augment), the six capability buckets, and the local-first architecture. - [Pricing](https://brogrammer.net/pricing): Pro ($9.92/user/mo annual), Team ($15.75/user/mo annual, ≤20 seats), Enterprise (custom). 7-day Pro trial with no credit card.

All seven surfaces work without any source code leaving the developer's machine. The backend handles authentication, billing, entitlement, and (on Team) the synchronisation of memories, rules, and the audit log only. ## Application surface (signed-in users) - [Account & billing](https://brogrammer.net/app/billing): Subscription, invoices, seats and device management. - [Team Intelligence dashboard](https://brogrammer.net/app/team/[slug]/intelligence): Manage shared memories and rules with provenance and per-edit history. - [Audit log](https://brogrammer.net/app/team/[slug]/audit): Append-only org log with CSV export for compliance reviews. - [Fleet](https://brogrammer.net/app/team/[slug]/fleet): Per-developer plugin status, version, and last-seen. - [SSO / SAML](https://brogrammer.net/app/team/[slug]/sso): Enterprise identity-provider configuration. - [Usage dashboard](https://brogrammer.net/app/usage): Agent Mix observability — which AI provider made which call, latency, error rate, token spend. ## Pricing tiers - **Pro** — $9.92/user/month billed annually ($119/year), or $12/user/month billed monthly. 7-day free trial with no credit card required. Includes the full 30+-tool MCP surface, semantic search, personal memories and rules, Local LLM support, and Agent Mix observability across JetBrains and VS Code. - **Team** — $15.75/user/month billed annually ($189/user/year), or $19/user/month billed monthly.
