Cline connects directly to LithosAI through its OpenAI Compatible provider. You do not need a local proxy or protocol adapter.

​
Before you begin

Install Cline in your editor, create a key on the API Keys page, and confirm the model ID you want to use on the Models page.
1

Open the provider settings

Open Cline, select the gear icon, and choose OpenAI Compatible from API Provider.
2

Configure LithosAI

Enter the following values:Replace the model ID if you selected a different model in the LithosAI console.
3

Set the model limits

Open Model Configuration and copy the model’s context window and maximum output tokens from the LithosAI console. Enable image support only when the selected model accepts image input.
Cline cannot read these values from an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, and provider-specific reasoning controls are not exposed through the OpenAI Compatible provider.
4

Confirm the connection

Select Verify, then start a task in a project you want Cline to inspect.

​
Verify the connection

Open a project that contains a README.md, then ask Cline:
Cline should read the local file and return its heading. This verifies both the model response and a basic local tool call.
