Cline

Cline is an autonomous coding agent that can read files, write code, run terminal commands, and browse the web. It runs inside VS Code and uses the OpenAI or Anthropic API for its reasoning model.

Install​

Install the Cline extension from the VS Code Marketplace.

Configure​

  1. Open the Cline extension panel and click the Settings gear.
  2. Set API Provider to OpenAI Compatible.
  3. Fill in:
    • Base URL → http://localhost:3000/v1
    • API Key → sk-rt-YOUR_PROJECT_TOKEN
    • Model → any model registered in your Routerly project (e.g. gpt-5-mini)
  4. Set Context Window to at least 32000 — agentic tasks require a large context.

To use Anthropic via Routerly:

  1. Set API Provider to Anthropic.
  2. Set Base URL to http://localhost:3000 (no /v1).
  3. Set API Key to sk-rt-YOUR_PROJECT_TOKEN.
  4. Pick a model (e.g. claude-haiku-4-5).
note

Agentic tasks consume many tokens per step. Set a budget limit on your project token to cap spending automatically.

Usage​

Open the Cline panel and describe the task. Cline will plan, write code, and execute steps autonomously. Every LLM call is routed through Routerly — costs and traces are visible in the dashboard.
