Cline (gateway)

Route Cline’s LLM calls through the Respan gateway for automatic logging, caching, and model switching. Cline has a built-in OpenAI Compatible provider, so only your RESPAN_API_KEY is needed.

Setup

1

Install Cline

Install the Cline extension from the VS Code Marketplace, then open it from the sidebar.

2

Configure the OpenAI Compatible provider

  1. Click the gear icon to open Cline Settings.
  2. Under API Provider, choose OpenAI Compatible.
  3. Fill in the fields:
    • Base URL: https://api.respan.ai/api
    • API Key: YOUR_RESPAN_API_KEY
    • Model ID: gpt-4o
  4. Save.

No separate provider key needed. The Respan gateway handles provider authentication.

3

Start coding

Open the Cline chat panel and send a message. All LLM calls now route through Respan.
