Cline executes complaint lookups
Give Cline a task to find a specific entry using `get_complaint`. It fetches the full narrative and company response to populate your documents. Automate your research by letting the agent run `search_complaints` across millions of entries. Cline handles the request and displays the output directly in your chat.
Query by product category
Cline uses `get_complaints_by_product` to segment data by mortgage, credit card, or debt collection. It isolates the sector you care about. Use this tool to compare metrics across different years or products. Cline grabs the data and formats it for your project needs.
Track recent market trends
Run `get_recent_complaints` to keep your dashboard updated with the latest activity. Cline pulls the freshest entries from the wire. This MCP Server provides the raw input for your analysis scripts. Cline manages the connection and delivers the data without manual intervention.
