# Cline — Uncensured AI

Operational guide for AI assistants and people. Reading requires neither JavaScript nor authentication.

## Prerequisites

You need an Uncensured AI account, credit and your own key from https://uncensuredai.com/keys. An OpenAI key will not work. If missing, ask the user to set it locally; do not create or search for keys in other accounts. Before editing, check OS, client version and active profile. Merge settings without overwriting existing providers, preferences or credentials.

## Connection values

- Base URL: https://uncensuredai.com/v1
- Endpoint: POST https://uncensuredai.com/v1/chat/completions
- Authentication: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_UNCENSURED_API_KEY
- Environment variable: UNCENSURED_API_KEY
- Protocol: OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions
- Model ID example: glm-5.3-flash-abliterated

Do not duplicate `/v1`. Check models available to the key with GET /v1/models. Do not assume image, tool, reasoning support or a context size: these depend on the model and client. Consult the current catalog.

## Setup

Open Cline in your editor, then Settings (gear). Configure these fields:

- API Provider: OpenAI Compatible
- Base URL: https://uncensuredai.com/v1
- API Key: your Uncensured AI key, in Cline’s credential field
- Model ID: glm-5.3-flash-abliterated

Save and select the same configuration for Plan and Act if the installed version configures them separately. Do not invent private extension JSON files or write the key into workspace settings. Use the provider panel or a documented interface for the installed version. If the agent cannot operate the editor, give the user only the remaining UI steps.

## Local key

`YOUR_UNCENSURED_API_KEY` is a placeholder. Set the actual value only on your device. macOS/Linux, in the terminal session:
```sh
export UNCENSURED_API_KEY="YOUR_UNCENSURED_API_KEY"
```

Windows PowerShell:

```powershell
$env:UNCENSURED_API_KEY="YOUR_UNCENSURED_API_KEY"
```
These commands apply to the current session. For persistence use a credential store or a local file excluded from Git, accessible only to its owner. Never echo the key into logs, screenshots, public prompts, URLs, reports or commits. Do not send it to third parties; Authorization must go only to https://uncensuredai.com. GUI apps may not inherit terminal variables: use their credential field.

## Verify without generating tokens

GET /v1/models

Save as `verify_uncensured.py` and run with Python 3 in the same key environment. It requires no dependencies and generates no completions. Check that the chosen ID is listed. It does not print the key:
```python
import json, os, urllib.request

key = os.environ["UNCENSURED_API_KEY"]
request = urllib.request.Request(
    "https://uncensuredai.com/v1/models",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer " + key},
)
with urllib.request.urlopen(request, timeout=30) as response:
    models = json.load(response)
print("Available model IDs:")
for item in models["data"]:
    print(item["id"])
```

## Optional API example: uses credit

Run only if the user authorized a generation. Install the Python SDK with `python -m pip install openai` in the project environment.
```python
import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=os.environ["UNCENSURED_API_KEY"],
    base_url="https://uncensuredai.com/v1",
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="glm-5.3-flash-abliterated",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Ciao!"}],
    max_tokens=64,
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

## Troubleshooting

- 401: missing, invalid or incorrect key; check the process receives it without displaying it.
- 403: check key permissions and restrictions.
- Insufficient credit: check account balance and limits; do not bypass prepaid billing.
- Model not found: use the exact ID returned by GET /v1/models.
- 404: check Base URL and path; avoid `/v1/v1` and the Responses endpoint in OpenCat.
- 429: respect Retry-After, wait and limit retries; no aggressive loops.
- Unsupported tools or context: check model capabilities; do not invent values.
- Required UI actions are unavailable to the agent: explain only the remaining steps and do not claim setup is complete.

## Data and scope

Uncensured AI does not retain prompts and responses on its own servers. Web chat history stays on the device. Account and billing data are separate. Third-party apps and agents may store conversations, files, logs or backups locally or in their own services: this guide does not change their policies.

## Report the result

Report app and version, modified paths without secrets, selected provider and model, model-list verification result and any remaining manual steps. Distinguish connectivity from a real generated response; never claim a test you did not run.
