2. Configure Cline

Install and open Cline in VS Code, then enter the Provider configuration through the settings button in the Cline panel, and fill in:

Field Value
API Provider OpenAI Compatible
Base URL https://api.acedata.cloud/v1
API Key The API Key just copied
Model ID The model ID currently provided by the Coding Plan

Keep the remaining model capability configurations as default for now; when images or a larger context are needed, adjust them according to the actual capabilities of the selected model.

3. Verify

After saving, create a new task and send Reply only OK. Then have Cline read a test file to confirm that the model supports tool calling; call records can be viewed in Usage History.

A 401 usually indicates an incorrect Key; a 404 usually indicates an incorrect Base URL or model ID. If the model can chat but cannot operate on files, check the tool calling capability of that model.
