Generate Referral Codes in Cline

This Friendbuy MCP Server lets Cline generate share codes and verify their status during development. Cline calls `create_referral_code` to mint a new code and injects it directly into your front-end components. It then runs `get_referral_code_status` to verify the code works before staging your Git commit. You get verified, working referral links without leaving your VS Code workspace.

Build and Test Conversion Flows with Cline

This purchase tracking integration lets Cline write and test your conversion logic on the fly. Cline uses `track_conversion_purchase` to simulate buying events and ensure your backend correctly reports sales. If a test fails, Cline runs `list_tracked_purchases` to see what actually hit the server and fixes your code. It handles the entire write-test-fix loop autonomously.

Monitor Live Referral Rewards and Webhooks

This Friendbuy MCP Server lets Cline inspect your live referral webhooks and active rewards. Cline queries `list_webhooks` to verify your server endpoints are configured correctly. When debugging reward issues, Cline pulls a list of successful conversions via `list_referral_rewards`. It matches these rewards against your database to find discrepancies.
