Cline automates recipe discovery via MCP Server

Tell Cline to find a drink based on what you have, and it calls `get_cocktails_by_ingredients` to get the job done. It fetches the data and writes the recipe file automatically. You don't have to copy-paste anything. Cline handles the tool interaction and confirms the result in your project.

Search and import with Cline

Use `search_cocktails` to find specific recipes by name while Cline writes the code for your app. It grabs the instructions and drops them right where you need them. This keeps your workflow moving without manual lookups. Cline manages the context so your code stays accurate.

Tequila and Rum tools for Cline

Call `get_tequila_cocktails` or `get_rum_cocktails` to pull lists of popular drinks into your tasks. Cline processes the output and formats it for your documentation. It treats these API responses like any other code source. You get the data you need without leaving VS Code.
