# Cline Integration with OfoxAI Configuration Guide

Source: https://ofox.ai/docs/integrations/cline

[Cline](https://github.com/cline/cline) is a popular VS Code AI coding plugin (formerly Claude Dev). By integrating with OfoxAI, you can use a variety of models.

> **This tool still uses manual setup.** Ofox Desktop does not auto-configure Cline yet. If you also use Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, OpenClaw or Hermes on an Apple silicon Mac, [Ofox Desktop can detect and configure those supported tools](https://ofox.ai/desktop).

## Prerequisites

- Registered OfoxAI account with an API Key ([Get one here](https://app.ofox.ai))
- [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) installed

## Configuration Steps

### Step 1: Install Cline

Search for **Cline** in the VS Code Extension Marketplace and install it.

### Step 2: Open Settings

Click the **Cline icon** in the left activity bar to open the Cline panel, then click the **Settings icon** in the top right corner.

### Step 3: Fill in Configuration and Save

Fill in the following information on the API Configuration page, then click **Done** in the top right corner:

| Field | Value |
|--------|-----|
| **API Provider** | `OpenAI Compatible` |
| **Base URL** | `https://api.ofox.ai/v1` |
| **OpenAI Compatible API Key** | Your OfoxAI API Key |
| **Model ID** | Model ID ([see Model Marketplace](https://ofox.ai/models)) |

![Fill in configuration](https://ofox.ai/screenshots/cline/03-config.png)

Use **OpenAI Compatible** as the API Provider and do not switch to the Anthropic or Google Gemini Provider. These two providers do not allow custom model names and only support selecting from their built-in official model list. The model names in the built-in list do not match OfoxAI's model IDs, which will cause requests to fail.

## Recommended Models

For recommended models, see the [Model Marketplace](https://ofox.ai/models).

## FAQ

**Q: Model not supported error**

Make sure the Model ID format is correct. When using OpenAI Compatible, the model name must include the `vendor/` prefix. See the [Model Marketplace](https://ofox.ai/models) for all available model IDs.

**Q: Unable to use Tool Use feature**

Keep the API Provider as `OpenAI Compatible` and choose a model that supports tool use from the [Model Marketplace](https://ofox.ai/models).
