Cline

Cline is an open-source AI coding agent developed by Cline Bot Inc. It is available as a CLI assistant, VS Code extension, JetBrains plugin, native macOS and Windows desktop app, and SDK. Cline reads project structure, edits files across a codebase, runs terminal commands, observes build and test output, and can correct issues such as missing imports, type mismatches, syntax errors, and failed tests. Its Plan and Act modes separate codebase exploration and planning from execution; edits and commands can require human approval, with checkpoints for reviewing or reverting changes.

Overview

The CLI supports interactive and headless operation for scripting and CI/CD, while the SDK exposes the shared agent engine for custom tools, plugins, lifecycle hooks, multi-agent teams, scheduled agents, connectors, and MCP servers. The project supports models from multiple providers and OpenAI-compatible endpoints, including local-model runtimes, and can connect agent sessions to messaging platforms such as Telegram, Slack, Discord, Google Chat, WhatsApp, and Linear. It is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license.
