Auto-generate sales tools in VS Code

The `list_opportunities` tool fetches active sales pipeline data so Cline can build custom UI components and dashboards directly in your workspace. Cline pulls the live deal values, writes the React or Vue code to display them, and runs local tests to verify the layout. You don't have to write boilerplate API integration code. Cline inspects the schema, writes the fetching logic, and hooks it up to components using live CRM data.

Webhook management via Cline MCP Server

The `create_webhook` tool registers HTTP endpoints in Close CRM to trigger local development servers or live production backends. Cline sets up these webhook subscriptions, writes the Express or FastAPI receiver code in your workspace, and configures the local port forwarders. This lets you build and test automated lead routing scripts locally. When a lead is created, your local workspace receives the payload instantly, allowing Cline to debug the integration in real time.

Automated lead sync and data cleaning

The `list_leads` tool pulls paginated lists of customer records into Cline for batch processing and deduplication. Cline writes custom cleanup scripts, runs them against the fetched lead list, and uses `update_lead` to push the corrected data back to your CRM. It handles thousands of records without manual exports. You get clean CRM data and the exact code used to clean it, saved directly in your git repository.
