Exploring the world of AI coding @Cline
We're excited to announce that Amazon Web Services has officially contributed 35 new Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to the Cline ecosystem. This is a major milestone that extends the power of AI to nearly every corner of the AWS platform, allowing developers to manage their entire cloud
For some time, Cline offered two ways to provide persistent guidance: a simple "Custom Instructions" text box and the more robust, file-based .clinerules system. While the text box was a familiar starting point, it was always a stepping stone. Today, we're fully embracing the more powerful

Hello Cline community 🫡 v3.17.14 is focused on expanding provider support, refining the terminal experience, and shipping a handful of important stability improvements. New Provider Integrations We're committed to making Cline as flexible as possible, and that means letting you plug in the tools you already use.
It feels like every month there's a new "must-have" AI coding tool. The FOMO is real; but so is the fatigue of constantly switching, learning new workflows, and migrating settings. It’s exhausting, but that's the price for developers who want to be armed
Remember when AI coding meant tab autocomplete? The human did 95% of the work: navigating the codebase, finding the right files, locating the exact spot to edit, beginning to type, and only then could AI offer a helpful suggestion. The human was the driver, AI was barely a passenger. Today&
When developers first encounter Cline, they often describe it as their "AGI moment" – that pivotal instant when they realize AI has crossed from helpful suggestion tool to genuine coding partner. But what exactly separates a true coding agent from the growing crowd of AI-powered development tools? The answer
Yesterday, Windsurf users lost access to Claude 3.x models with five days' notice. OpenAI's acquisition of Windsurf created competitive tensions with Anthropic, and developers got caught in the crossfire. Picture this: you're deep into a critical project, and suddenly your AI coding assistant is
