Configure Cline with an OpenAI-compatible API.

Enter the Yolo-Auto base URL, API key, model ID, and context window in Cline, then test the coding agent on the free tier.

Who Cline OpenAI-Compatible API Setup is actually for

Cline OpenAI-Compatible API Setup is best for developers and power users who want model access inside tools, agents, scripts, and apps, not just a closed consumer chatbot tab.

• Cline users configuring a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
• Developers troubleshooting base URL, model ID, or context settings.
• Long coding sessions where predictable LLM pricing matters.

Keep the coding agent, change the model backend

The integration uses each tool's existing custom-provider support. Yolo-Auto supplies an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, API key, and public Qwen model without replacing the coding-agent interface.

Start with the free tier to verify the configuration. The same endpoint and model shape continue working when a flat-rate paid plan becomes a better fit for longer sessions.

Enter these OpenAI-compatible values in Cline

Choose OpenAI Compatible, copy each value exactly, and replace the API-key placeholder with your Yolo-Auto key.

These examples use qwen3.8-flash, our recommended model for text, images, and tools on Free and paid plans. Paid users can optionally choose yolo, a configurable route initially backed by Flash. Its server-side target can change while your client model ID stays the same.

Base URL: https://yolo-auto.com/v1
API Key: YOUR_yolo_API_KEY_HERE

If the connection fails, verify the /v1 suffix, API key, and current model ID first.
