Automate with Cline CLI

WHAT CLINE DOES
Everything an agent should do, in your editor and your terminal.
Open source. Plan-and-Act. Every model. No vendor lock-in.
Edits across your project
Coordinated multi-file changes with linter-aware fixes, diffs, checkpoints, and one-click undo on every step.
Runs bash commands
Executes in your terminal and reacts to output as it appears. Long-running dev servers, tests, deploys, all handled live.
Plan, then Act
Toggle Plan mode to align on a strategy, then Act to execute. Approve every step, or flip auto-approve for autopilot.
Rules and Skills
Ship .clinerules with your repo to teach the agent your coding standards, architecture, and deployment conventions.
Every model, your choice
Claude, GPT, Gemini, local Ollama / LM Studio, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Bring your own key or your own weights.
Extend with MCP and plugins
Register custom tools and lifecycle hooks via the SDK. Plug in MCP servers for databases, APIs, and infrastructure.
Multi-agent teams and schedules
Coordinator agents delegate to specialists with their own tools and context. Run them on cron for recurring automations.
Connect to Slack, Linear, and CI
Chat with the agent from Slack, Discord, Telegram, or Linear. Run it headlessly inside GitHub Actions, GitLab, or any pipeline.
Any model, your infrastructure
Cline works with every major provider. Bring your own key, your own endpoint, or your own weights and keep your workflow exactly the same.
