Cline

Cline is an open-source AI coding agent that works in your editor, your terminal, a desktop app or through an SDK. It is built to make multi-file changes and run commands under your control.

Cline can read a codebase, make edits across several files and run bash commands such as tests and servers. Plan and Act modes let you agree on a strategy before changes are made. It connects to many AI models, including Claude, GPT, Gemini and local models, and supports the Model Context Protocol for extra tools.

• Multi-file changes with checkpoints
• Plan and Act modes before execution
• Support for Claude, GPT, Gemini and local models
• Terminal commands for tests and servers
• Extensions for VS Code, Windsurf, JetBrains and Cursor

Individual developers and organizations that want an open-source agent with no vendor lock-in. Teams that need stronger governance can look at the enterprise option.

The open-source extension is free for individual developers, who pay only for AI model usage on a usage basis. Enterprise pricing is custom for teams that need advanced management and security. The desktop app runs on Mac, Windows and Linux. Review the commands the agent wants to run, especially in a shared environment.
