How to Use the Airship MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline update my Airship audience tags during a debug session?

Yes, Cline invokes listtags to see what exists, then modifies your local code to send the correct tag updates. It acts as an autonomous hand, editing files and verifying live configurations simultaneously.

Q: Does Cline support sending rich push media through Airship?

Cline can construct complex JSON payloads for sendpushnotification containing rich media URLs. It validates the payload structure against your local schema before dispatching the alert.

Q: How does the agent handle bulk channel exports?

The agent uses listchannels to pull pages of device records. It then writes those records directly into a local JSON or CSV file in your workspace for easy analysis.

Build, test, and deploy Airship messaging workflows inside VS Code using Cline's autonomous execution.

Build live notification dashboards with Cline and this MCP Server

The `get_push_status` tool retrieves live Airship delivery metrics directly into your Cline workspace. Cline reads this Airship data, writes a React component to display the success rates, and updates your dashboard UI. You get a working interface without writing boilerplate Airship API code inside Cline. Cline fetches the live metrics, modifies your local files, and runs tests to confirm the Airship integration works.

Manage audience lists using this MCP Server

The `list_static_lists` tool retrieves your uploaded CSV audiences so Cline can inspect your Airship lists. The Cline agent writes scripts to clean up stale Airship lists and runs them directly in your VS Code terminal. This eliminates the risk of targeting inactive Airship users during automated Cline builds. Cline compares your local database exports with your live Airship lists and updates your targeting configurations automatically.

Debug channel registrations autonomously

The `get_channel_details` tool extracts deep metadata for specific Airship app installations inside Cline. Cline uses this Airship information to debug failed push notifications by checking if the target device is opted-in. Instead of guessing why an alert failed, you let Cline analyze the Airship device state. Cline reads the platform details, identifies configuration mismatches, and patches your Airship push payloads.
