Cline

Cline, the open-source coding agent that runs inside your editor. These pages cover setup and model choice, MCP servers, plan and act modes, cost control, and the practical question of what Cline does with the files it touches. Because Cline works directly on a local workspace, most of the guides here spend time on the boundary between local work and shared work: what to commit, what to publish, and how a teammate or client sees the result without a repository checkout.

Model selection gets more space here than it usually does, because Cline runs on your own API keys and the bill is visible in a way it is not with a subscription product. The pages also cover MCP server configuration, approval settings, and the working rhythm that keeps a long task on track without either babysitting every step or approving them all blindly.
