Aboutcline.bot

Cline is an open-source AI coding agent with Plan and Act modes and MCP support. It runs in IDEs, as a CLI, in the cloud, and as an SDK. Cline Kanban runs many agents in parallel, each isolated, from a board of cards. It installs from npm and supports every major model provider.

Install
npm i -g cline
For an agent
