Yes, Cline runs getbrandfolderassets to search your workspace using your plain English requests. It returns matching assets directly inside your VS Code panel.

Q: Does Cline let me inspect Brandfolder asset metadata?

Yes, Cline calls getassetdetails to pull down complete metadata, including dimensions, file types, and upload dates, directly into your editor.

Q: Can I remove assets from my library using this setup?

Build asset-rich UI components with Cline

Use `list_asset_attachments` to let Cline query your asset library and pull live CDN URLs directly into new React or HTML components. The tool provides the raw asset paths so your agent can write, test, and save the code without manual intervention. Instead of hunting down image links in a browser, you tell Cline what UI element you need. It queries the server, gets the asset endpoints, and creates the file in your project directory.

Batch update asset tags inside your workspace

Execute `patch_cms_asset` to modify asset metadata directly from your VS Code sidebar. Cline inspects your local code context, finds out what tags are missing by running `list_asset_tags`, and updates the remote assets. This setup lets you manage your creative pipeline without leaving your editor. Cline writes the changes directly to your Brandfolder account, keeping your team's assets in sync via this MCP Server.

Wire up assets using this MCP Server

Call `create_cms_asset` to upload new local assets or build files directly from VS Code to your asset manager. Cline takes your local exports, triggers the upload tool, and returns the newly created asset details. You get a direct bridge between your local workspace and your digital asset manager. Cline handles the API handshake, uploads the files, and logs the asset IDs for your future code imports.
