Gotchas
- Cline's Model ID must match a model id from the ToRouter catalog exactly. Typos return a
model_not_founderror. - For agentic / tool-use flows, prefer Claude (
claude-opus-4-7,claude-sonnet-4-5) or GPT-5 — Cline relies heavily on tool calling and these have the best track record. - Set per-model context window in Cline settings if the default is too low for big repos; the gateway forwards full context unmodified.
- The Anthropic provider slot also works — use base URL
https://portal.torouter.aiand the same key.
