Cline is a VS Code extension for AI-assisted coding. Configure it with an OpenAI Compatible provider pointing to the AI Gateway to access every model in the catalog, including Anthropic Claude models.

​
Prerequisites

  • Cline extension installed in VS Code (saoudrizwan.claude-dev)
  • Active Orq.ai account
  • Orq.ai API key

​
Setup

Open the Cline panel → Settings → API Provider → select OpenAI Compatible. Fill the fields: Save and start using Cline.
Always use the provider/model_id format for model IDs (e.g. anthropic/claude-sonnet-5, not claude-sonnet-5). Bare IDs return a 400 invalid model format error.

​
Skills

Orq Skills add pre-built agentic workflows to Cline for the full Build, Evaluate, Optimize lifecycle.

​
Installation

Set an API key and connect the Orq MCP server first. Skills are then triggered by describing what is needed.

Orq Skills

The full catalogue of skills and slash commands.
Slash commands (/orq:quickstart, /orq:traces, and others) are only available in Claude Code.

​
Troubleshooting

The model ID is missing the provider prefix. Change claude-sonnet-5 to anthropic/claude-sonnet-5, gpt-5.6-sol to openai/gpt-5.6-sol, and so on.
Verify the Base URL is set to https://my.orq.ai/v3/router. Requests sent to a provider’s own endpoint bypass the AI Gateway and produce no Traces.

​
Verification

Send a message in the Cline panel. The response appears in the chat and the request appears in Orq.ai Traces with the model identifier anthropic/claude-sonnet-5 (or whichever model was selected).
