Run phaseo cline to start a Cline CLI session through Phaseo, or create a key with phaseo setup cline and add an OpenAI Compatible provider in the Cline extension. The extension keeps keys in VS Code’s secret storage, so that last step happens in its UI.

​
Run the Cline CLI through Phaseo

The runner writes Cline settings to a temporary directory, launches cline, and deletes the directory when Cline exits, so your existing Cline or VS Code setup is untouched. If Cline is missing, an interactive run offers to install it. Put Cline’s own flags after --. phaseo run cline ... is the long form of the same command.

​
Configure the Cline extension

Create a key for the extension:
Then, in VS Code:
  1. Open the Cline panel and select the settings icon, or the provider below the chat box.
  2. Choose OpenAI Compatible and enter:
  1. Save the provider. If your version shows Verify, select it.
  2. Select the configured model for the next task.
To skip the CLI, use any Phaseo API key. Cline’s OpenAI-compatible configuration docs cover team-managed setups.

​
Check it works

Ask Cline to reply with PHASEO_CLINE_OK, then confirm the request appears in Settings → Usage → Logs.

​
Remove Phaseo

Delete or switch away from the Phaseo provider in Cline, then run:
This revokes the key. The CLI can’t clear VS Code’s extension storage, so the deleted key may still show in Cline until you remove it there.

​
Fix common problems

​
Verification fails

Keep the Base URL exactly as shown, including /v1, and paste a freshly retrieved key with no quotes or spaces.

​
The model list is empty

Type the Phaseo model ID yourself. Cline doesn’t need model discovery.

​
Chat works but tools fail

Pick a Phaseo model with tool-calling support. A working connection doesn’t mean the model supports tools.
