Cline requires tool-capable models for file analysis and coding tasks. Configure APIONE, then start with a small read-only task.

Configure the connection

  1. Install Cline from your IDE’s official marketplace and open its sidebar.
  2. Open settings and API Configuration.
  3. Set API Provider to OpenAI Compatible.
  4. Set Base URL to https://api.apione.ai/v1 and enter your APIONE key.
  5. Enter a model ID supporting Chat Completions and tool calls from the model directory. Click Done.

First run

In a test project, ask Cline to explain the README without modifying files. Confirm the response and APIONE request record, then test file reading. Review proposed actions individually before allowing code changes.

Model settings

If the interface requests a context window, output limit, image capability, or price, use that model’s actual parameters. Do not enable vision or reasoning for every model.

Common problems

  • No response: check the final URL, proxy, and model access.
  • Invalid tool format: use a compatible model or remove optional parameters and try again.
  • Old provider still used: check the active API configuration. If the version stores separate settings for different modes, check each mode.
