Verified setupUse Cline with GlideflowAI.
An autonomous coding partner in your VS Code sidebar. Connect it through GlideflowAI's OpenAI-compatible API with a key you control.
What this connection is for
Cline is a VS Code coding agent built for work that crosses the boundary between a prompt and a repository. It can inspect files, propose edits, run terminal commands, and ask before taking a consequential action. That makes it a useful companion when you want an agent to investigate a bug or carry a feature through several connected files while you retain the final say.
The practical appeal is its place in the editor. A plan, diff, terminal output, and follow-up question live beside the code rather than in a separate chat window. Cline works best when a task has a clear local objective: trace a request path, add a small integration, write tests, or turn a rough issue into a reviewable patch.
GlideflowAI fits Cline through its OpenAI-compatible provider path. Use an exact model ID from the GlideflowAI catalog, begin with a bounded task, and keep approval prompts enabled until you understand how the selected model behaves in a given repository. Cline is an independent project; this page describes a user-managed connection, not an endorsement or partnership.
Why pair it with GlideflowAI
Use one GlideflowAI key for Cline and the other compatible tools in your stack instead of maintaining a separate credential for every coding surface.
Models and pay-as-you-go rates are shown in public USD on our pricing page, so you can choose a route deliberately before starting an agent session.
Setup
Use a new API key for the tool, select a model from the catalog, and begin with a small task. Do not put a key in a repository, screenshot, or shared configuration file.
Open Cline's provider settings
In the Cline panel in VS Code, open the settings control and select the OpenAI Compatible provider. This is the provider route used for a custom Chat Completions endpoint.
Enter the GlideflowAI endpoint and key
Paste the base URL and an API key created in your GlideflowAI dashboard. Keep the key in Cline's local credential field rather than a repository file.
Provider : OpenAI Compatible Base URL : https://api.glideflowai.com/v1 API Key : sk-your-keyChoose a model and make a small first request
Select glm-5.2 or another exact catalog ID, then ask Cline to inspect or explain one file before granting broader command permissions.
Model ID : glm-5.2

Frequently asked questions
Is this a Cline partnership?
No. Cline is configured by you with a standard compatible endpoint; neither project is presented as endorsing the other.
Why does Cline not show a model?
Confirm the URL includes /v1, the key is valid, and the model ID exactly matches the GlideflowAI model catalog.
Where can I get deeper troubleshooting?
See the dedicated Cline guide in GlideflowAI Docs for endpoint tests and common response errors.
