# Cline

Connect Cline to Laminarity through its OpenAI-compatible provider settings.

> Verification: source-checked; checked 2026-09-01; Cline OpenAI Compatible provider

## Configure the provider

Open Cline Settings and select OpenAI Compatible as the API provider. Enter `https://api.laminarity.ai/v1` as the base URL, paste a Laminarity project key, and use `auto` as the model id.

Use a concrete id from `/v1/models` only if you intend to bypass Laminarity routing and fallback.

## Verify agent behavior

Start with a short response, then ask Cline to inspect a file and make a harmless tool call. Verify streaming completes and that Cline receives the tool result before trying a long coding task.

If Cline asks for model limits, start with a conservative 64,000-token context and 16,000-token output cap for `auto`; these control client-side history and are not universal native model limits.

## Troubleshooting

Refresh `/v1/models` when a concrete model is rejected. Remove OpenAI-only options if an `auto` request reports that the selected provider does not support them. Keep the key in Cline's secret storage rather than workspace settings.
