Cline Setup Guide

After setup, you can operate CloudBase services directly from Cline’s AI chat.

Examples:

  • "Create a users collection" - AI creates database collections automatically
  • "Deploy this function" - AI uploads and configures cloud functions
  • "Deploy the frontend to CDN" - AI uploads files and configures hosting

No need to switch to the Cloud console — you can do everything in Cline with natural language.
