How to fix Cline config not applied or requests not going through AI Code With

If messages do not hit the AI Code With endpoint, Use custom base URL is probably unchecked or the address is wrong. Checking these two points confirms requests really reach AI Code With.

Start with these checks

Cline is not using the custom Base URL, so requests do not go through AI Code With.

  • Messages do not go through AI Code With, or Cline reports the official endpoint failing.
  • Use custom base URL is not checked, so requests still go to the Anthropic official endpoint
  • Open Cline settings and confirm Use custom base URL is checked

01

Make sure the custom endpoint is enabled

Cline uses the Anthropic official endpoint by default. Requests only go to AI Code With when Use custom base URL is checked — verify this first.

02

Check the address and save

Confirm the Base URL starts with https://api.aicodewith.ai and save the settings. If Cline cached the old config, reload the VS Code window to apply it.

  1. 1Open Cline settings and confirm Use custom base URL is checked
  2. 2Confirm the address starts with https://api.aicodewith.ai

03

Verify in usage records

Send a message, then match it by time in the AI Code With usage records. Seeing the call means the request really went through the AI Code With endpoint.

  1. 1Confirm the address starts with https://api.aicodewith.ai
  2. 2Save the settings and reload the VS Code window if needed

If it is still not fixed
