Cline is a VS Code extension for agentic workflows. Point its OpenAI-compatible mode at routing.run so requests use your dashboard key and route/… model ids.

​
Setup

1

Get your API key

Create an API key at app.routing.run. Copy the key — it starts with rk_.
2

Open Cline settings

In VS Code, open the Cline extension from the sidebar. Click the gear icon to open settings.
3

Create a custom provider

In the model or API dropdown, choose OpenAI Compatible or the custom provider flow if your version separates them. Name the provider routing.run if the UI offers a provider name field.
4

Configure connection

Set the following:
  • Base URL: https://api.routing.run/v1
  • API Key: full rk_… value from the dashboard API Keys page
  • Model ID: route/glm-5.1 (or any route/… your plan allows)

​
Manual configuration

If you want to fill Cline settings manually, use these exact values:
FieldValue
Provider namerouting.run if the UI offers a name field
Provider typeOpenAI Compatible
Base URLhttps://api.routing.run/v1
API Keyrk_REPLACE_ME
Model IDroute/glm-5.1
Keep the route/ prefix on model ids. If Cline lets you save multiple providers, name this one routing.run so you can switch back quickly. Plan tier and access are authoritative on GET https://api.routing.run/v1/models with your rk_ key. The full list is on the models page; common picks:
ModelUse case
route/deepseek-v3.2General-purpose chat (matches most doc examples)
route/glm-5.1Reasoning and coding
route/minimax-m2.7Long-context sessions
route/kimi-k2.5Agentic and tool-heavy flows
route/qwen3.6-plus-previewQwen3.6-class preview
route/qwen3.5-plusQwen3.5 flagship
Prefer route/kimi-k2.5 or route/glm-5.1 for tool-heavy flows when your tier allows them.
