Claude in VSCode (Cline)

Cline is a VSCode extension (formerly "Claude Dev") that runs an autonomous coding agent inside your editor. It supports any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so you can point it at api.oblion.io and use Claude — or any other supported model — without an official Anthropic API key.

1. Get an API key

Follow Account Registration and API Configuration to create a token on the Oblion AI dashboard. No special token group is required for Cline — a standard token works.

2. Install Cline

Open VSCode, go to the Extensions marketplace (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+X), search for Cline, and install it. A Cline icon will appear in the sidebar.

3. Point Cline at Oblion AI

1. Open the Cline panel and click the settings (gear) icon.
2. Under API Provider, choose OpenAI Compatible.
3. Fill in:
   • Base URL: https://api.oblion.io/v1
   • API Key: your Oblion AI token (sk-...)
   • Model: claude-sonnet-4-6 (or another Claude id — see Using Claude Models)
4. Save. Cline will now route every request through Oblion AI.

4. Verify it works

Open the Cline chat panel and send a simple prompt, e.g. "Explain what this project does." If you get a response, the connection is working.

Choosing a model in Cline

Cline works best with strong reasoning/coding models. Good options from Supported Models:

Troubleshooting

• "No available channel" error: the model you selected may require a specific group that your token isn't assigned to. Try a different Claude model id, or check your token's group on the dashboard.
• Requests hang or time out: large multi-file edits can take a while on slower models — try a faster model like claude-sonnet-4-6 first.
• 401 Unauthorized: double-check the API key was pasted correctly and the Base URL ends in /v1.
