Connect Cardly MCP to Cline

Ship real mail from Cline
Ordering physical items usually means opening a browser and clicking through checkout flows. Connecting this integration lets your VS Code agent handle the entire transaction. It calls `place_greeting_card_order` to turn your markdown drafts into printed paper. Before spending any money, the agent generates a digital proof. Running `preview_greeting_card` creates a visual layout so you can check the formatting.
Pull artwork directly into your project
Finding the right cover design happens right in your terminal output. The agent fetches the current catalog by hitting `list_card_artwork`. You see the available options without logging into a web dashboard. Getting the exact print specifications requires one more step. Cline uses `get_artwork_details` to understand the dimensions and bleed areas before formatting your text.
Manage your mailing lists programmatically
Keeping track of who gets what card is handled entirely through MCP API calls. Your agent checks existing groups using `list_contact_lists` and verifies individual recipients with `find_contact`. Adding new customers or team members takes zero manual effort. The tool `add_contact_to_list` pushes their physical address into the system instantly.
