Cline

Connect

Install Cline if needed.
Download a compatible model in Magnitude.
Open Connections → Cline and click Connect.
Select a downloaded model on the connected card, then click the command to copy it.
Paste it into your terminal from your project folder. On Windows, use PowerShell.

This connector detects the cline executable and manages its provider configuration. Having only an editor extension installed does not necessarily make this CLI integration available. Magnitude configures the OpenAI-compatible provider.

Run Cline

After connecting in Magnitude, start Cline with:

cline --tui --provider openai-compatible --model MODEL_ID

Replace MODEL_ID with the exact model ID, such as gemma-4-e2b-it-qat:gguf:q4, rather than its display name. The command shown in Connections already includes the correct ID for your selected model, so you can copy it without editing. Keep Magnitude running; it loads the model when the agent requests it.

Configuration

Connect writes ~/.cline/data/settings/providers.json and ~/.cline/data/settings/models.json. Location overrides: CLINE_DATA_DIR and CLINE_PROVIDER_SETTINGS_PATH.

On another computer

In Magnitude, turn on Settings → Network access.
On the other computer, open http://ADDRESS:10100 in a browser, using the address from Reachable at, and sign in with the API key.
In Connections, click Copy setup prompt on Cline and send it to your agent.

Edit the files yourself

Use the address from Reachable at for ADDRESS and the API key for API_KEY. ~/.cline/data/settings/providers.json:

{
  "providers": {
    "openai-compatible": {
      "settings": {
        "provider": "openai-compatible",
        "client": "openai-compatible",
        "protocol": "openai-chat",
        "baseUrl": "http://ADDRESS:10100/inference/v1",
        "apiKey": "API_KEY",
        "model": "MODEL_ID"
      },
      "updatedAt": "2026-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
      "tokenSource": "manual"
    }
  },
  "lastUsedProvider": "openai-compatible"
}

Set updatedAt to the current time. Cline replaces a provider entry that has no updatedAt with its own stored settings the next time it starts.
