Cline CLI v3.0.69

2026-10-07 · official notes

Summary

• MCP servers launched with npx or uvx on Windows now load. They often took longer than the 3-second startup limit and were silently dropped, so their tools never showed up. The default is now 10 second
• Claude through a custom Anthropic base URL (Azure AI Foundry, corporate gateways) no longer fails with a 400 error
• Kimi K3 and other models that only accept certain reasoning levels no longer reject requests. The CLI picks the closest level the model supports

Full notes

- MCP servers launched with `npx` or `uvx` on Windows now load. They often took longer than the 3-second startup limit and were silently dropped, so their tools never showed up. The default is now 10 seconds
- Claude through a custom Anthropic base URL (Azure AI Foundry, corporate gateways) no longer fails with a 400 error
- Kimi K3 and other models that only accept certain reasoning levels no longer reject requests. The CLI picks the closest level the model supports
- OpenAI-compatible providers no longer print a `providerOptions key 'openai-compatible'` deprecation warning on every response
- If a model's response ends without a recognized finish reason, the agent asks it to continue once instead of treating the response as complete
- `cline config --json` prints JSON again. It opened the interactive view instead, which failed outside a terminal; `cline config --json mcp` printed plain text
- `-y`/`--yolo` is now listed in `cline --help`, with a warning to use it only in sandboxed environments
