Choose the Phaseo CLI runner for an isolated session, or create a dedicated key with the CLI and configure an existing Cline installation manually. Cline stores credentials in VS Code’s secure secret storage, so the final entry happens in the extension UI.
Run Cline through the Phaseo CLI
For the Cline CLI, let Phaseo provision the provider configuration for one session:
Use --catalog all to expose every active Phaseo text/chat model, or --dry-run --json to preview the install and launch plan. Use phaseo run cline ... for the explicit command form. The runner uses temporary Cline settings and data directories, so it does not overwrite an existing Cline or VS Code setup.
Create the credential with the Phaseo CLI
- Open the Cline panel in VS Code.
- Select the settings icon, or select the provider beneath the chat box.
- Choose OpenAI Compatible.
- Enter these values:
- Save the provider. If your version shows Verify, select it.
- Select the configured model for the next task.
Verify
Ask Cline to reply with PHASEO_CLINE_OK, then confirm the request appears in Phaseo activity.
Remove
Delete or switch away from the Phaseo provider in Cline, then run:
The CLI cannot clear VS Code’s private extension storage, but removal revokes the stored key.
Troubleshooting
Verification fails
Keep the Base URL exactly as shown, including /v1, and paste a newly retrieved key without quotes or whitespace.
The model list is empty
Enter the Phaseo model ID manually. Model discovery is not required.
Choose a Phaseo model with tool-calling support. Connectivity and model tool support are separate checks.
