How to fix a wrong Cline Base URL causing request failures
The Base URL is the core setting that connects to AI Code With. Cline appends /v1/messages to the Base URL automatically, so adding /v1 duplicates the path and the request fails.
Start with these checks
The Base URL was entered with a /v1 suffix, so Cline builds a duplicated path.
- The request fails after sending a message, or reports a wrong endpoint path.
- The Base URL was entered with a /v1 suffix, and Cline appends another /v1/messages
- Open Cline settings and find the Base URL field

Understand Cline's path appending
Cline's Anthropic Provider uses the official SDK, which appends /v1/messages to the Base URL. Enter only the domain — do not add a /v1 suffix.
02
Enter the correct Base URL
Check Use custom base URL, change the address to https://api.aicodewith.ai, remove every extra trailing path segment, and save the settings.
- 1Open Cline settings and find the Base URL field
- 2Remove any trailing /v1, /v1/messages, or guessed path
03
Verify the request succeeds
Send a test message after saving; a normal reply means the path is correct. If it still fails, make sure Use custom base URL is checked.
- 1Remove any trailing /v1, /v1/messages, or guessed path
- 2Enter https://api.aicodewith.ai (no /v1 — Cline appends /v1/messages automatically)
If it is still not fixed
