clineAI - AI Coding Assistants Tool

Overview

clineAI is an autonomous coding agent integrated into your IDE that can create and edit files, execute terminal commands, use the browser, and analyze your project's file structure and source code. It operates with a human-in-the-loop permission model for safe execution and leverages the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to expand its capabilities.

Key Features

• Create and edit project files directly within your IDE.
• Execute terminal commands from the agent to run builds or tests.
• Use an integrated browser to gather context or external resources.
• Analyze project file structure and source code to inform changes.
• Human-in-the-loop permission model for safe, reviewed execution.
• Leverages the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to expand capabilities.

Ideal Use Cases

• Scaffold or modify project files programmatically.
• Run tests, builds, and other terminal tasks from the agent.
• Investigate issues by analyzing code and project structure.
• Gather external references or documentation via the agent browser.
• Iteratively refactor code with human review at each step.

Getting Started

• Install the clineAI extension or plugin in your IDE.
• Open your project workspace in the IDE.
• Grant permissions for file, terminal, and browser access.
• Enable MCP integration if available to expand agent capabilities.
• Invoke the agent with a task prompt and review proposed changes.

Pricing

Not disclosed.

Limitations

• Requires integration with a supported IDE to operate.
• Actions require human-in-the-loop approval before execution.
• Some capabilities depend on available MCP integration and configuration.
• Browser and terminal features need network and system access permissions.
