How to configure ZZSwitch API in Cline
When connecting Cline to ZZSwitch, the key fields are API endpoint, API key and model name. Run a small task first to verify authentication, model availability and balance.
Cline usually uses the /v1 endpoint when configured as an OpenAI-compatible provider.
Configuration flow
Add or edit an OpenAI-compatible provider in Cline. Use your ZZSwitch Token as the API key, and copy an available model name from the console.
Which endpoint?
OpenAI-compatible clients usually use https://api.zzswitch.com/v1. Do not include a full request path such as /chat/completions unless the tool explicitly asks for it.
How to validate
Start with a short chat, a small code explanation or a read-only task. After authentication, model and balance look correct, move to larger tasks.
Cost note
Cline may consume more tokens when reading files, planning multiple steps or running automated tasks. Start small and review call logs.
