Automated proposal drafting with Cline
Cline reads your workspace files to understand your project scope. It then pulls your standard pricing using `list_templates` and instantly calls `create_proposal` to write the draft without you copy-pasting code blocks. This MCP setup cuts out the back-and-forth context switching. Your agent prepares the entire document, hooks up the client metadata, and gets it ready for review while you write code.
Instant client profiles from your editor
Creating new accounts shouldn't slow down your coding. The agent runs `create_client` to register new prospects instantly, then fetches their profile data using `get_client` to confirm the details. Your workspace stays clean when contacts sync automatically. Connecting this MCP Server means your editor acts as a direct link to your sales pipeline.
Audit and update proposal pricing tables
Keep track of your project margins without leaving VS Code. Cline checks active pricing structures using `list_fees` and applies updates with `update_proposal` when project requirements change. You get complete control over the numbers. The agent reads the existing terms with `get_proposal` to verify everything matches your project estimates before finalizing the draft.
