# Use with self-hosted CodeRabbit

> Connect the CLI to your self-hosted CodeRabbit instance

Configure the CodeRabbit CLI to work with your organization’s self-hosted CodeRabbit instance. This setup gives you all the benefits of AI-powered code reviews while maintaining full control over your code and data.

## **Prerequisites**

Before connecting to your self-hosted instance, ensure:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="CLI version" icon="download">
    CodeRabbit CLI version 0.3.5 or higher installed
  </Card>

  <Card title="Clean setup" icon="log-out">
    Log out of the extension if you were previously connected to the managed
    service (`coderabbit auth logout`)
  </Card>
</CardGroup>
