Cline
Cline offers an OpenAI Compatible provider with minimal configuration.
Steps
- Open Cline settings and select OpenAI Compatible as the API provider.
- Fill in:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Base URL | https://api.fenno.ai/v1 |
| API Key | Your Fenno key |
| Model ID | A model id from the console |
- Save and run one conversation to verify.
Tips
- Prefer models with long context and tool support for coding.
- Cap output tokens in Cline to bound per-call cost.
- When several projects share a key, use per-key usage views to attribute spend.
Verify the first request
Save and enable the provider, then start a test conversation with “Reply with OK only. Do not modify files.” Match the time and model in the Fenno console, then test tools separately in a disposable repository.
If your version stores separate models for Plan and Act modes, check both configurations so that switching modes does not silently restore a different provider.
Capabilities and troubleshooting
| Symptom | Check |
|---|---|
| Model unavailable | Use an exact ID, not a display name or an invented provider prefix |
| Authentication failure | Check the key and active mode’s provider without exposing credentials in logs |
| Tool or image requests fail | Enable capabilities supported by the selected model, not every option |
| Context or output limit errors | Use actual model limits rather than copied defaults |
