How to Use the Courier MCP in Cline

Q: How does Cline know which Courier notification template to use?

Cline can call the listtemplates tool to see a list of all available templates in your Courier account. This gives it the context to pick the right one based on your instructions.

Q: Can I manage multiple Courier brands from Cline?

You can list them. The listbrands tool lets your agent see all the configured brands in your workspace, which is useful when building UIs or scripts that need to be brand-aware.

Give Cline the tools to build real notification features. It'll pull live data from Courier to scaffold components, write tests, and ship code.

Build UIs with Live Courier Data

Tell Cline to build a delivery status dashboard. It will use `list_messages` to get real-time data on sent, delivered, and opened notifications, then write the component code for you. You're not working with mock data; you're building with the real thing. You can get more specific. Ask it to "create a component showing the full event history for a message." Cline will use the `get_message_history` tool, see the data structure, and write the code to display it correctly. It's a huge time-saver.

Script Admin Tasks in Your Editor

Need to send a one-off message to a specific audience? Just tell Cline. It can use `list_audiences` to find the right segment, then `send_notification` to fire the message. No need to open the Courier dashboard. This is great for building internal tools. You could ask Cline to write a script that pulls all users with `list_users` and checks their subscription preferences via `get_user_profile`. Cline doesn't just get the data; it writes the code that uses the data.

Write Tests Backed by Real APIs

When you're building a feature that sends notifications, you need to test it. You can instruct Cline to "write a test that sends a notification and confirms delivery." It will call `send_notification` and then poll `get_message_details` until the status is `DELIVERED`. This MCP Server gives Cline a direct line to your actual Courier setup. That means your tests are more than just unit tests; they're integration tests that prove your code works with the live service. Cline can even stage the new test file for you when it's done.
