Hi Qoder team,
When using Qoder (VS Code extension), the built-in WebFetch tool fails to access docs.qoder.com pages, returning 403 Forbidden. However, I can open the same URLs in my browser without any issues.
Environment:
- Qoder: VS Code extension (latest)
- OS: Windows
- Location: China
- Browser access to
docs.qoder.com: works fine
Observed behavior:
- Qoder’s agent uses the WebFetch tool to look up official documentation (e.g. https://docs.qoder.com/user-guide/rules )
- The tool receives a 403 response
- The same URL loads normally in my browser
This means the Qoder agent cannot autonomously reference official docs to answer questions or verify feature behavior, which reduces its accuracy.
Questions:
- Is this a known issue? Does
docs.qoder.comblock requests from automated tools/bots (e.g. by checking User-Agent)? - Is there an API or bot-friendly endpoint that Qoder’s WebFetch tool can access?
- Any recommended workaround (e.g. bundling docs locally, using a GitHub mirror)?
Thanks!
