+
+## Install the Cline extension
+
+The Cline extension is available in the
+[Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=saoudrizwan.claude-dev).
+
+Install the extension using the **Install** link on the Marketplace page or
+search for "Cline" in the Extensions panel within VS Code.
+
+You can also install from the CLI:
+
+```bash
+code --install-extension saoudrizwan.claude-dev
+```
+
+If you need help, see
+[Managing Extensions](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/extension-marketplace)
+in the VS Code documentation.
+
+## Configure Cline to use CodeGate
+
+import ClineProviders from '../partials/_cline-providers.mdx';
+
+To configure Cline to send requests through CodeGate:
+
+1. Open the Cline extension sidebar from the VS Code Activity Bar and open its
+   settings using the gear icon.
+
+   <ThemedImage
+     alt='Cline extension settings'

+   />
+
+1. Select your provider and configure as detailed here:
+
+   <ClineProviders />
+
+1. Click **Done** to save the settings.
+
+## Verify configuration
+
+To verify that you've successfully connected Cline to CodeGate, open the Cline
+sidebar and type `codegate version`. You should receive a response like
+"CodeGate version 0.1.14":
+
+<ThemedImage

+Warning: CodeGate detected one or more malicious, deprecated or archived packages.
+
+ • invokehttp: https://www.insight.stacklok.com/report/pypi/invokehttp

+## Remove CodeGate
+
+If you decide to stop using CodeGate, follow these steps to remove it and revert
+your environment.
+
+1. Remove the custom base URL from your Cline provider settings.
+
+1. Stop and remove the CodeGate container:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker stop codegate && docker rm codegate
+   ```
+
+1. If you launched CodeGate with a persistent volume, delete it to remove the
