Cline
A coding agent for VS Code. Use its OpenAI Compatible provider.
Connect
In Cline's settings (gear icon):
- API Provider: OpenAI Compatible (not the plain OpenAI provider)
- Base URL:
http://127.0.0.1:4010/v1 - API Key: your plugboard key
- Model:
fast, or any name from/v1/models - Model Configuration: set Context Window and Max Output Tokens to the model's real values. Turn on Image Support only for a model that takes images.
What works
Streamed chat, agent mode with tool calls (Cline runs its file and command tools), and image input.
Limits
- Cline can't look up limits for a custom model name; set them by hand or long tasks get cut off.
- Agent mode needs a model with tool calling.
