1. Open the Cline settings
Click the gear icon in the Cline panel and find the API Provider dropdown.
Pick OpenAI Compatible in Cline settings, paste the avots base URL and your av_mcp_ key, type a model id, and the VS Code agent runs on avots.
Cline has a built-in OpenAI Compatible provider. Point it at avots with three fields.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Base URL | https://api.avots.ai/openai/v1 |
| API key | av_mcp_… · get your key |
| Model | anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6 or any id from the table below |
Click the gear icon in the Cline panel and find the API Provider dropdown.
Select OpenAI Compatible, then paste https://api.avots.ai/openai/v1 as the Base URL and your av_mcp_ key as the API Key.
Type anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6 in the Model field, or any id from the table below.
Click Verify, then chat or run tasks. For agentic tool use, pick a model with function calling.
API Provider: OpenAI Compatible
Base URL: https://api.avots.ai/openai/v1
API Key: av_mcp_YOUR_KEY
Model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6
The Model field is free text, so type the id by hand, there is no auto-discovery. If Cline guesses the context window or max output tokens wrong, set them under Model Configuration.
curl https://api.avots.ai/openai/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer av_mcp_YOUR_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
}'
Your av_mcp_ key is not only for chat. avots also runs as an MCP server, so Cline can call avots creative tools, image, video, music, talking avatars, on the same key and the same balance.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| MCP server | https://mcp.avots.ai/ |
| API key | av_mcp_… · same key as above |
Set the model field to any id below, or a lazy name like claude / gpt / gemini that maps to a sensible default.
