Cline
Connect the Cline VS Code extension to APIClaw with the OpenAI Compatible provider.
Prerequisites
- Install the Cline extension in VS Code.
- Create an API key in the API Keys dashboard.
- Copy a full model ID from the model hub.
Configure
- Open the Cline settings panel (gear icon).
- Set API Provider to OpenAI Compatible.
- Paste this Base URL:
https://apiclaw.biz/v1- Enter:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Base URL | https://apiclaw.biz/v1 |
| API Key | Your APIClaw API key |
| Model ID | Full model ID from the model hub |
Do not paste https://apiclaw.biz/v1/chat/completions into Base URL. Cline appends the chat path itself.
Once the Base URL and key are in, Cline fetches the model list, so you can usually pick your model instead of typing the ID.
Set Context Window Size and Max Output Tokens to your model's real numbers from the model hub. Cline has no catalog entry for APIClaw models, so leaving the defaults makes it mismanage long conversations. The Input Price and Output Price fields only drive Cline's own cost display and never affect what APIClaw bills.
Cline configures models per mode, so if you use Plan and Act, set the model in both or it will fall back when you switch.
Verify
Ask Cline to inspect a file in your workspace. Confirm the request appears in logs.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid API key: re-paste the key and confirm it is active.
- Model not found: use the exact hub model ID.
- Connection errors: Base URL must be reachable and exactly
