Cline

Connect CometAPI to Cline in VS Code using the OpenAI-compatible provider; configure base URL, API key, and model, then verify calls with a test prompt.

Cline is a VS Code extension that brings AI coding assistance directly into your editor. Configure it to use CometAPI as a custom OpenAI-compatible provider.

Prerequisites

• Cline installed in VS Code
• A CometAPI account with an active API key

Setup

1. Install Cline in VS Code

   Search for Cline in the VS Code Extensions panel and install it.

   
2. Get your CometAPI API key

   Log in to the CometAPI dashboard. Click Add API Key and copy your key and base URL (https://api.cometapi.com).

   

   
3. Configure the API provider

   Open Cline settings and select OpenAI Compatible as the provider. Enter https://api.cometapi.com/v1 in the Base URL field, paste your key into API Key, and enter the model name you want to use.

   
4. Test the connection

   Send a test prompt in Cline (e.g., ask it to generate a hello world function). A successful response confirms the integration is working.
