How to Use the Frontify MCP in Cline

Q: How does Cline fetch Frontify brand guidelines?

Cline uses the listbrandguidelines tool to pull active documentation trees into your editor. It reads these rules to ensure any CSS or component code it generates matches your official brand guidelines.

Q: Can Cline handle custom GraphQL queries on Frontify?

Yes, Cline uses executegraphqlpayload to run raw queries against the headless DAM. It writes the query, sends it, and uses the returned data to populate your local files.

Q: How can I verify who has access to our brand assets?

You can ask Cline to run listplatformusers to see everyone registered on the platform. If someone is missing, Cline can use inviteworkspaceuser to grant them access to a project.

Build frontends and update Frontify assets directly from your Cline sidebar in VS Code.

Sync code assets with Cline MCP Server

The `get_project_assets` tool pulls active image links and files straight into your VS Code workspace. Cline reads these assets to write precise image components, ensuring you never hardcode stale URLs. If Cline needs to verify workspace structure first, it runs `list_workspace_projects` to find the correct folders. This MCP Server connection lets your agent build entire UI components using live asset data.

Edit asset metadata during code generation

The `patch_asset_metadata` tool updates your brand portal attributes directly from the sidebar. Cline can modify asset tags to match your codebase changes, keeping your design system and repository in sync. It checks platform identity schemes using `list_platform_users` to see who made the changes. This guarantees that metadata updates are attributed to the correct team members within your VS Code workflow.

Clean up deprecated assets from VS Code

The `wipe_media_asset` tool removes obsolete media files from your active brand portal directly from your active MCP container. When Cline refactors a component and replaces an old graphic, it deletes the unused asset from the DAM to prevent clutter. Before deleting, Cline checks your account boundaries using `get_account_limits`. This ensures your automated cleanup scripts do not trigger rate limits or violate storage constraints.
