How to Use the Copilot CRM (Assembly) MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline draft and send portal messages using Copilot CRM (Assembly)?

No, this server does not write messages. Cline uses listportalmessages to read thread summaries and timestamps, allowing it to analyze communication history and draft replies for you to send manually.

Q: How does Cline handle custom metadata fields in Copilot CRM (Assembly)?

Cline calls listcustomfields to learn your CRM's specific schema. It uses these definitions to safely format any updates it makes via updateclient, preventing database validation errors.

Q: Can Cline download client files from the portal?

Cline uses listfiles to inspect file names, sizes, and upload dates. It can identify which files are missing or present, but it does not download or store the actual files locally.

Let Cline build custom CRM dashboards and run end-to-end client management tasks directly from your VS Code sidebar.

Build Live CRM Dashboards in VS Code

The `list_clients` tool pulls active customer records directly into Cline's context window. Cline uses this live data to write, test, and render custom dashboard components in your workspace. Instead of coding with dummy data, Cline runs `list_companies` to populate real corporate relationships. It builds your UI, verifies the API endpoints, and shows you the working diff immediately.

Resolve Billing Issues Autonomously

The `list_invoices` tool gives Cline direct visibility into client account balances and due dates. When a payment fails, Cline doesn't just notify you; it investigates the root cause. Cline queries `get_client_details` to verify the billing contact info, then checks `list_portal_messages` to see if the client already reached out. It prepares a complete resolution plan without your intervention.

Run Client Onboarding Workflows via Cline MCP Server

The `create_client` tool registers new users in your Copilot portal with a single prompt. Cline takes raw text from your notes, extracts names and emails, and creates the record. It then calls `list_forms` to identify the required onboarding questionnaire. Cline links the form to the new profile and updates their account status using `update_client` to keep your pipeline clean.
