It can create and modify files, execute terminal commands, navigate the web, and interact with __MCP tools__. Used by more than 5 million developers, Cline offers a Plan\/Act mode enabling planning and execution of complex tasks __autonomously and transparently__. It is compatible with all major AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek\u2026) and supports the __BYOK model__ (Bring Your Own Key).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Cline?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Cline is a VS Code extension that transforms your IDE into an autonomous development agent. It can create and modify files, execute terminal commands, navigate the web, and call MCP tools. Its Plan\/Act architecture allows it to plan an approach before acting, ensuring transparency and control of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Main Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Cline offers a set of features designed for modern developers. Its Plan mode allows defining a strategy before execution, while Act mode intervenes directly in code. The integrated MCP Marketplace provides access to hundreds of extensions. Cline is compatible with all major LLM providers: Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, AWS Bedrock, Azure, and can also use local models via LM Studio or Ollama. Real-time API cost transparency is displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Cases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Cline applies to many use cases: component generation, refactoring, bug fixing, automated test writing, code documentation, and application deployment. It is particularly effective for teams adopting an AI-first approach, wanting to automate repetitive tasks while keeping a human developer in oversight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Cline adds significant value through its transparent approach. Developers see exactly what the agent does at each step. The BYOK model ensures no data passes through third-party servers without your consent. The tool&#8217;s gratuity itself allows controlling costs by choosing the most suitable models for each task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pricing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Cline is entirely free and open source. The only costs are tokens from the connected LLM. You can use free models like Gemini 2.0 Flash, or premium models like Claude 3.7 Sonnet at varying rates depending on the provider. The dashboard displays costs in real-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Cline establishes itself as the reference choice for development teams wanting to integrate a powerful and transparent AI agent into their VS Code workflow. Its active community and rapid evolution make it a tool to closely follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strengths<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li><strong>Open source<\/strong> and approved by 5M+ developers worldwide<\/li>\n\n<li>Plan\/Act modes for <strong>controlled autonomy<\/strong> at each step<\/li>\n\n<li>Compatible with <strong>all major LLMs<\/strong> (Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek\u2026)<\/li>\n\n<li>MCP Marketplace integration to extend <strong>agent capabilities<\/strong><\/li>\n\n<li>Terminal access, browser, and <strong>file system<\/strong> in real-time<\/li>\n\n<li>Complete transparency on <strong>API costs<\/strong> with BYOK<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Limitations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Requires <strong>VS Code<\/strong> as environment (no standalone app)<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>LLM API costs<\/strong> can be high depending on chosen model<\/li>\n\n<li>Learning curve to master <strong>MCP workflows<\/strong><\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Agent autonomy<\/strong> may require regular supervision<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Is Cline free?<\/summary>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, Cline is a free open source tool. You only need an API key from an LLM provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini\u2026) to use it. Some models like Gemini Flash are available for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>What is the difference between Plan and Act modes?<\/summary>\n\n\n\n<p>Plan mode allows Cline to think and propose a strategy before acting.
