Connect Cline, Roo Code or Kilo Code to ApiClo
For Cline, Roo Code and Kilo Code, select the OpenAI-compatible provider, enter https://apiclo.com/v1, an ApiClo API key and an exact model ID. The extension sends model requests to ApiClo; any separate extension subscription remains a separate product.
Before you start
- Install the chosen VS Code extension and create a separate ApiClo key.
- Look up the model ID and input, output, cache-read and cache-write rates in ApiClo's model table.
Steps
Select a provider
Open the extension's provider settings and choose OpenAI Compatible. Labels vary by extension and version; choose the option accepting your own Base URL.
Enter the connection
Use https://apiclo.com/v1, your ApiClo key and a model ID such as claude-sonnet-5. Do not add /chat/completions to the Base URL or an apiclaude/ prefix to the model ID.
Test the workflow
Send a short message, then test one file-reading tool in a disposable project. Confirm both requests in ApiClo Logs before a long agent task.
Examples
OpenAI Compatible
Provider: OpenAI Compatible
Base URL: https://apiclo.com/v1
API key: YOUR_APICLO_KEY
Model ID: claude-sonnet-5
Check the result
The extension returns a reply, the requested model appears in Logs, and the tool test completes. Check billed tokens and actual cache hits there; entering cache prices in a client does not enable caching.
Troubleshooting
- 401: re-enter the complete key without spaces and confirm it is active.
- Model not found: use the ID from ApiClo's table, not its display name or another provider's prefix.
- Text works but tools fail: inspect the extension version, model capabilities and tool error. Do not assume OpenAI compatibility guarantees every agent feature.
Compatibility and billing
ApiClo bills the model requests it receives. Client-side estimates can differ from billed usage; consult Logs and current rates. Context size, images, tool calls and caching depend on the chosen model and client.
