FAQ
How do I add an MCP server to Cline?
Open the MCP Servers icon in Cline's sidebar, edit the cline_mcp_settings.json file, and paste the server block from the detail page. Cline connects immediately and lists the available tools.
Can Cline install MCP servers by itself?
Yes — Cline can create and configure new MCP servers autonomously when you ask it to add a capability. For well-known servers it is still faster to paste a known-good configuration from this catalog.
Which servers pair best with autonomous coding?
Filesystem and GitHub servers for repository work, database servers for schema inspection, and browser-automation servers for verifying UI changes — the category links below go deeper on each.
