How to Use the Bidsketch MCP in Cline

Q: Can I list my Bidsketch templates inside Cline?

Yes, Cline uses the listtemplates tool to display all your active layouts. You can then select which template you want the agent to use for your next pitch.

Let Cline write code and generate matching Bidsketch proposals using this MCP Server entirely within your VS Code workspace.

Build client profiles directly from VS Code with Cline

Cline reads your project directory to extract client details, then runs `create_client` to register them in your account. You don't need to manually type names or emails into a web browser. This MCP Server connection allows Cline to verify the client exists before drafting contracts. If the contact isn't found, the agent creates them on the fly and proceeds to the next task.

Generate proposals based on live workspace files

After completing a feature, ask Cline to write the matching pitch by calling `list_templates` to find the right layout. By loading this MCP toolset, the agent runs the selection process behind the scenes to keep you focused on coding. Using `create_proposal`, Cline sends the complete document to your account. It handles the JSON formatting in the background so you never have to write raw schema blocks yourself.

Sync proposal details with your active git branch

Keep your sales team updated by letting Cline match git commits to active proposals using `list_proposals` to find open bids. The agent coordinates with your repository status to keep sales documents in sync. Once found, it runs `get_proposal_details` to check the current scope using the MCP interface. Cline then updates your local documentation or writes a git commit message that references the proposal status.
