How to Use the Fee Navigator MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline handle bulk uploads of merchant statements?

Cline can loop through a directory of files and call uploadstatement for each one. It manages the queue, tracks the analysis status with listrecentactivities, and alerts you when all audits are complete.

Let Cline build custom dashboards, run automated audits, and generate Fee Navigator proposals directly in VS Code.

Build audit dashboards using Cline

Building custom audit dashboards is easy when Cline uses these merchant tracking tools. Tell Cline to create a local React component to track your client statements, and watch it write the code. It pulls live data using `list_recent_activities` and `list_audits` to populate your UI. The agent handles the API integration and file creation without you writing a line of code. It will even write tests to verify that `get_audit` outputs parse correctly. If there is a bug in how statement data is displayed, Cline reads the error, modifies the component, and runs the test suite until it passes.

Run end-to-end fee audits with this MCP Server

Running end-to-end fee audits becomes a hands-off task with this VS Code integration. You don't need to manually upload statements through a web portal anymore. Give Cline a folder of PDF statements, and it will use `upload_statement` to send them off. It then triggers `analyze_statement` for each file and monitors the progress. Once processed, Cline grabs the savings metrics via `get_proposal` and generates a clean markdown summary. You get a complete, ready-to-send proposal saved directly to your workspace.

Compare merchant rates against industry averages

Comparing merchant rates against industry averages is automated by Cline using live benchmark data. Let Cline do the heavy lifting of market research. The agent queries `get_industry_stats` to fetch real-world payment processing baselines. It then compares these benchmarks with your active merchant data from `get_merchant`. Cline highlights exactly where a merchant is overpaying on interchange or processor markups. It writes a detailed breakdown directly into your project files, giving your sales team the exact data points they need to close.
