Use Kimi K2.6 with Cline in Morocco — velqa.dev, pay in dirhams (MAD)

Configure the Cline VS Code extension to use velqa.dev models with local payment in Moroccan dirhams.

Prerequisites

• VS Code with the Cline extension installed
• A velqa.dev API key (see the quickstart)

Configuration via the Cline interface

Configuration is done entirely from the extension's graphical interface — no need to edit settings.json manually.

1. Open Cline in the VS Code sidebar (Cline icon)
2. Click the Settings icon (gear) at the top right of the panel
3. Under API Provider, select OpenAI Compatible
4. Fill in the fields:

1. Click Save

Context window and output (important)

Fill in Context Window Size and Max Output Tokens (in the OpenAI Compatible provider's advanced settings). These two values tell Cline when to automatically compact the context. Without them, a long agentic session lets the context grow unbounded and eventually triggers Trop de tokens demandés. Reessaie plus tard. — while also burning through your quota faster.

Values per model:

Switching models

To switch to another model, go back to the settings and change the Model ID field:

• kimi-k2.6 — coding agent, long tasks
• minimax-m3 — code generation and refactoring
• glm-4.7-flash — fast tasks, general chat — the most responsive
• deepseek-v4-flash — high-volume, economical

Test

Open the Cline chat and type a simple instruction, for example Explain this file. If Cline replies, the configuration is correct.

On a 401 Unauthorized error, check that the sk-... key is copied correctly (no spaces). On a Model not found error, check the exact model identifier at velqa.dev/models.

Note on native tools

Cline uses OpenAI native tool calling. Kimi K2.6 and MiniMax M3 support this protocol — they are compatible with no extra configuration.
