How to Use the Apidog MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline update my local codebase when Apidog schemas change?

Yes, Cline can run listschemas to detect updates. It then rewrites your local type definitions and runs your test suite to make sure nothing broke.

Q: Can Cline handle multiple API projects at once?

Yes. Cline uses listprojects to show you all available workspaces. You can tell it to focus on a specific project, and it will restrict its queries to those endpoints.

Let Cline read your live Apidog endpoints and write fully-typed API integrations directly inside VS Code.

Explore Apidog endpoints from Cline

Cline does not just chat; it writes code and runs tests. When you tell it to integrate a backend endpoint, it runs `list_endpoints` to see what is available in your Apidog project. You do not need to keep a browser tab open to check path parameters. Cline uses `get_endpoint` to read the exact payload definition and immediately writes the Axios or Fetch call in your active file.

Let Cline build UI components from OpenAPI specs

Tell Cline to build a dashboard component using your API data. It uses `export_openapi` to grab the entire API specification from Apidog. Cline reads the schemas, creates the React component, imports the correct types, and writes the mock service worker handlers. It handles the entire task end-to-end without you writing a single line of boilerplate.

Auto-generate TypeScript types from Apidog models

Stop writing TypeScript interfaces by hand. This MCP Server lets Cline invoke `list_schemas` to fetch the exact data models defined in your Apidog workspace. It then writes those types directly into your source files. If a backend engineer changes a DTO, tell Cline to update your types, and it will overwrite them with the fresh schema from Apidog.
