Using SuiteCloud Developer Assistant with Cline in WebStorm

SuiteCloud Developer Assistant can be used in JetBrains IDEs, including WebStorm, through AI assistant plug-ins that support OpenAI-compatible providers, such as Cline.

Note:

The tool has been tested in WebStorm using Cline, and this configuration has been validated during testing.
