How to Use the Common Paper MCP in Cline

Q: How does Cline interact with Common Paper templates?

Cline uses listtemplates via this MCP Server to fetch all available contracts and displays them in your VS Code sidebar. It can then pull specific structures using gettemplate to write automated testing scripts for your Common Paper integration.

Q: How do I debug webhook issues using Cline?

Cline runs listwebhooks to check which URLs are registered to your Common Paper account. If it finds an old endpoint, it uses deletewebhook to remove it and registers your active local tunnel instead.

Q: Can I list all my signed contracts inside VS Code?

Yes, Cline calls listsignedagreements through the MCP integration to fetch fully executed contracts and can write them directly to a local JSON file for your reference.

Cline builds contract-tracking dashboards and manages your Common Paper agreements autonomously inside VS Code.

Build contract dashboards with this Cline MCP Server

The `list_agreements` tool lets Cline fetch live contract data to build or update your internal Common Paper admin panels. Cline writes the frontend components, pulls the contract states, and hooks up the UI without you writing a single line of boilerplate. If a component needs to display specific details, Cline calls `get_agreement` to fetch the precise Common Paper contract fields. You get a working local interface populated with real-time contract data inside VS Code in minutes.

Automate recipient lookups during Cline development

The `search_agreements_by_email` tool allows Cline to look up active contracts through this MCP Server whenever you are debugging user accounts. Cline queries the email, finds the associated Common Paper contracts, and displays their status directly in your VS Code terminal. Cline can then use `get_template` to verify if the user signed the correct version of your Common Paper terms. This eliminates the need to manually verify legal status in an external browser tab.

Manage webhook lifecycles directly from the Cline sidebar

The `list_webhooks` tool gives Cline visibility into your active event listeners so it can debug Common Paper webhook delivery failures. Cline inspects the registered URLs, identifies mismatches, and corrects them on the spot. If an endpoint is outdated, Cline executes `delete_webhook` and registers the new one with `create_webhook` immediately using this MCP configuration. Your local event-driven architecture in VS Code stays perfectly in sync with your Common Paper legal documents.
