How to Use the BugHerd MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline read comments on a BugHerd task before writing code?

Yes, Cline uses listcomments to pull the entire conversation history of a ticket into its context window. This helps the agent understand specific tester feedback before it edits your workspace files.

Q: How does Cline handle assigning a BugHerd task to a developer?

Cline calls listusers to get your team's account IDs and then executes updatetask to assign the ticket. You can simply tell Cline to assign the bug to a specific teammate in plain English.

Q: Does this MCP Server let Cline create new BugHerd projects?

Yes, Cline can run createproject to spin up a brand new board. This is useful when you ask Cline to start a new repository and it needs a corresponding tracking board.

Cline drives BugHerd updates directly from your VS Code sidebar as it writes and tests your code.

Sync Cline code changes with BugHerd tasks

`update_task` is the MCP tool that lets Cline change the priority, description, or status of your BugHerd issues as it completes coding tasks. The agent modifies your files, runs the test suite, and updates the task status in one continuous run. This removes the manual overhead of keeping your project board in sync with your git branch. Your project managers see real-time progress because Cline handles the updates the moment the code passes tests.

Build BugHerd tasks directly from Cline workspace errors

`create_task` allows Cline to generate new issues in your BugHerd project whenever a local build fails or a bug is found. The agent captures the error logs, formats them, and posts them to your board. It queries your active boards with `list_projects` to target the right workspace. You get highly detailed bug reports without writing a single line of markdown.

Fetch BugHerd context to guide Cline code generation

`get_task` retrieves the exact user feedback and technical requirements from a BugHerd issue to guide Cline's coding. The agent reads the ticket description before it touches your source code. It also calls `list_comments` to parse any feedback left by QA testers. This ensures Cline writes the correct fix on the first try, matching the exact expectations of your team.
