Company information
The facts on file
- Description
- Cline is an open-source AI coding agent that runs inside VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, a CLI and an SDK, reading and writing files, running terminal commands and using a browser with explicit human approval on every action. It is bring-your-own-key by design, so teams choose their own model provider and pay inference at cost rather than a per-seat subscription. It targets developers and security-conscious engineering teams that want multi-file agentic changes without switching editors or handing code to a hosted service.

- Regulatory
- Vendor is Cline Bot Inc.; the VS Code extension still carries the legacy identifier saoudrizwan.claude-dev from its Claude Dev era. 'Open source' applies to the core, VS Code extension, CLI and SDK — JetBrains plugins are explicitly not open-sourced. Enterprise tier advertises SSO, OIDC, SCIM provisioning, audit logs and VPC deployment. The Apache-2.0 license file and any SOC 2 or ISO 27001 attestation could not be retrieved and should be confirmed before procurement rather than assumed.
