Cline

Cline is an open source AI coding agent that works inside the editor and from the command line. Given a task, it reads the relevant files, proposes edits across a project, runs shell commands and tests, and shows each change for approval before applying it. It is released under the Apache 2.0 license and its client side architecture keeps code on the developer's machine, with model calls going directly to the provider the developer chooses. It is built for individual developers and engineering teams who want an agent without committing to one model vendor. Cline ships as an extension for VS Code, JetBrains, Cursor and Windsurf, as a desktop application, as a CLI and as an SDK for embedding. A Plan mode lets the developer agree an approach before switching to Act mode to execute it. Developers bring their own API key, endpoint or weights and can route to Claude, OpenAI, Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock, Azure or local models through Ollama. MCP servers extend what the agent can reach, an MCP Marketplace lists ready made servers, and .clinerules files encode team standards. Enterprise deployments add multi agent teams, Slack, Linear and CI integration, and scheduled automations. The pricing page lists two plans. Open Source is free and includes the VS Code extension, the CLI, the MCP Marketplace, multi root workspaces and community support; users pay only for model inference, either at cost through Cline or with their own keys. Enterprise is priced on request and adds the JetBrains extension, SSO, an SLA, dedicated support, centralized billing, role based access control, provider spending limits, team management dashboards and authentication logs. Cline's home is cline.bot. The cline.ai domain belongs to an unrelated A/B testing product that was acquired by Strictly AI, so links to that address do not lead to the coding agent.
