Use Redline in Cline (VS Code)

Cline has a built-in OpenAI Compatible provider. Point it at Redline's /v1 base URL, paste your key, and enter a model id.

Select the OpenAI Compatible provider

Open the Cline settings (the gear icon) and set:

  • API Provider: OpenAI Compatible
  • Base URL: https://redline-gateway.pages.dev/v1
  • API Key: your rl-... key
  • Model: a model id such as deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3.1

Under Model Configuration, set the real Context Window and Max Output Tokens from the model's catalogue page, and enable Computer Use only for a model that supports tool calling.

Agents need tool calling Cline edits files and runs commands through function calls. A model without tool-calling support will chat but cannot act. Check the model page before you pick one.
