Build Dashboards with Live Data

Tell Cline to build a component that shows at-risk customers. It gets to work, creating the file, then calling `list_customer_companies` and `get_company_health` to fetch the data it needs from your Gainsight instance. Cline doesn't just show you the data, it writes the code to display it. You get a functional component, populated with real-time customer health scores, ready to be dropped into your internal dashboards.

Script Your Customer Operations with this MCP Server

You can ask Cline to write a script that automates a routine check. For example: "Write a script that finds all open CTAs with 'Risk' in the title." Cline will generate the code using `list_calls_to_action` and `get_cta_metadata` to build the logic. This turns manual, repetitive checks into a simple, executable file. It's perfect for standardizing how your team pulls data from Gainsight CS, ensuring everyone gets the same information, the same way.

Manage Your Cockpit in VS Code

Forget context switching. Open the Cline sidebar and ask it to "list my cockpit tasks." It hits the `list_cockpit_tasks` tool and displays your to-do list right there in the editor. When you complete a task, you don't have to go to the Gainsight web app. Just tell Cline, "Log a call with Acme Corp," and it uses `log_timeline_activity` to update the record. You stay focused, and your data stays accurate.

Common questions about Gainsight CS MCP in Cline

Cline can interact with your workspace. When you ask it to build a report, it can create a new file and then populate it with data fetched from Gainsight CS tools like `list_customer_companies`.

Absolutely. After you finish a task, just tell Cline the details. It uses the `log_timeline_activity` tool to post the update to the correct customer timeline for you.

Just ask it directly: "Show me my open cockpit tasks." Cline queries the `list_cockpit_tasks` tool and displays your current to-do list inside VS Code, saving you a trip to the browser.

There's a tool for that. Just ask Cline to "verify my Gainsight API connection." It will run the `verify_api_connection` tool and confirm that everything is set up correctly.

Your data's privacy is protected. The server only handles person details and task metadata for the duration of a command. Communication is encrypted, and the connection doesn't store your credentials or any customer information on disk.
