How to Use the Bonusly MCP in Cline

Build end-to-end recognition tools in Cline

Cline does more than talk; it builds entire UI components using your live team data. Ask it to create a custom sidebar widget, and it will fetch data using `get_leaderboard` and `list_bonuses` to populate the view. It writes the React code, hooks up the API, and tests the output. This turns your editor into a control center for team culture. You get custom, functional tools built around your team's real-time recognition activity without writing the boilerplate yourself.

Bulk issue points based on workspace activity

Cline can scan your git history, identify major contributors, and draft recognition posts. It uses `list_users` to find the correct profiles and matches them with `get_user` to avoid mistakes. The agent then prepares the `give_bonus` payloads for your approval. This makes celebrating big milestones a natural part of your development loop. The entire process runs through the secure MCP Server interface right inside your VS Code workspace.

Track personal point balances in real time

Keep track of your own giving power without opening a browser. Cline calls `get_my_profile` to check your remaining allowance and displays it in your status bar or terminal. You always know exactly how many points you have left to distribute. It can also cross-reference your balance with `list_redemptions` to show what you can claim. This keeps your personal rewards top of mind while you focus on your code.
