Cline#7

The foundational open-source VS Code agent featuring transparent Plan/Act approval safeguards and complete MCP integration.

Cline redefined autonomous coding inside VS Code. It introduced the popular Plan/Act operational paradigm, allowing developers to review every planned file alteration and terminal command before authorizing execution. Cline gives complete provider autonomy, letting users connect to Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, AWS Bedrock, or local Ollama models.
