Connect Cline to an OpenAI-compatible API

Cline versions that support a custom OpenAI-compatible provider can connect to nexinfer with a base URL, API key and model ID.

Configuration

1. Open Cline settings.
2. Select OpenAI Compatible or the equivalent custom provider option in your installed version.
3. Enter the following values:

Base URL: https://api.nexinfer.com/v1
API Key:  sk-nexinfer-xxxx
Model ID: choose a currently available model from the nexinfer dashboard

4. Save the settings and run a small test request.

The exact setting labels can change between Cline releases. If your version does not expose a custom base URL, consult that version’s documentation before changing providers.

Troubleshooting

• 401/403: confirm the API key is active and copied without extra spaces.
• Model unavailable: choose a model currently assigned to your key’s group.
• Endpoint error: keep /v1 at the end of the base URL.
• Long-running request fails: review the request status in the dashboard before retrying.

For a terminal-based setup, see the Codex guide or Claude Code guide.
