# Cline

> Configure Cline's OpenAI Compatible provider for SnapGen.

Cline has a dedicated **OpenAI Compatible** provider with fields for the base URL, API key, model ID, context settings, and displayed prices.

## Configure Cline

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open provider settings">
    Install Cline in VS Code, open the Cline panel, then choose the settings icon.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the provider">
    Set **API Provider** to **OpenAI Compatible**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter gateway settings">
    Set **Base URL** to `https://api.snapgen.org/v1`, enter your SnapGen API
    key, and set **Model ID** to an exact text model ID.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set displayed pricing">
    Enter the model's input and output price from its SnapGen model page so
    Cline's local cost estimate uses the correct rate.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify">
    Use Cline's verification control, then send a small read-only task before
    enabling automatic edits or terminal actions.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Example settings

| Field        | Value                        |
| ------------ | ---------------------------- |
| API Provider | OpenAI Compatible            |
| Base URL     | `https://api.snapgen.org/v1` |
| API Key      | Your SnapGen key             |
| Model ID     | `gpt-5.4-mini`               |
| Input price  | `$0.25` per 1M tokens        |

<Warning>
  Cline's context-window and capability fields are client-side declarations.
  Do not guess a context size or enable image/computer-use support unless you
  have verified it for the selected model.
</Warning>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Verification returns 401">
    Re-enter the API key and make sure no whitespace was included. Confirm the
    base URL ends in `/v1`.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Verification returns model_not_found">
    Call [`GET /v1/models`](/api-reference/list-models) with the same key and
    copy an exact returned model ID.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Cline's cost display is wrong">
    Cline does not fetch SnapGen pricing automatically. Update its model
    configuration with the input and output rates shown on the individual model
    page.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Tool calls fail but plain chat works">
    Test another text route and reduce optional capability declarations. A
    successful Chat Completions request does not guarantee identical agent-tool
    behavior across models.
