How to Use the BoardMix MCP in Cline

Q: How does Cline use BoardMix templates during development?

Cline calls listtemplates to see your team's standard BoardMix layouts. Cline can then initialize a new BoardMix whiteboard using createfile so your design team has a pre-formatted canvas ready for feedback.

Q: Can Cline track changes made to my BoardMix files?

Yes, Cline uses getfileversions to pull the edit history of your BoardMix boards. This allows the Cline agent to verify if a design requirement changed since you last updated the codebase.

Build features in Cline using live BoardMix visual layouts and team specs pulled directly into VS Code.

Translate board layouts to React components in Cline

The `list_nodes` tool retrieves the exact spatial coordinates, text, and styling of your BoardMix whiteboard elements. The MCP Server passes this node data to Cline so the agent can analyze the layout hierarchy inside VS Code. Cline then writes the CSS and React code to match the BoardMix canvas structure, runs the local test suite, and shows you the working diff. You go from a rough BoardMix wireframe to a coded component in one automated Cline execution.

Sync team project directories with local workspaces

The `list_team_projects` tool exposes your entire BoardMix organizational hierarchy to your Cline coding agent. Cline uses this to map out where BoardMix design assets live across different product teams. When you start a new feature branch, Cline checks `list_files` to find the exact BoardMix whiteboard matching your ticket. It grabs the BoardMix specs, builds the file structure, and references the design requirements as it writes code.

Extract feedback to resolve design debt

The `get_comments` tool fetches active feedback threads directly from specified BoardMix whiteboard files into your Cline workspace. Cline targets these BoardMix threads to extract design changes, bug reports, and layout adjustments. Cline parses the BoardMix comments, finds the corresponding code files in your workspace, and applies the necessary visual fixes. Once edited, Cline runs your linter to verify the changes match your BoardMix project rules.
