How to Use the Genius Referrals MCP in Cline

Q: Is my referral program data safe with Cline?

Yes. Data from tools like getadvocatedetails, which can include names and emails, is streamed directly to the Cline extension in VS Code. It's your responsibility to review what Cline stages so you don't commit sensitive data to your git repository.

Let Cline build referral dashboards and automate advocate reports. Connect Genius Referrals and have your agent DO the work, not just talk about it.

Build Live Dashboards with Cline

Tell Cline to build a component that shows your top advocates. It will use the `list_top_performers` tool to fetch live data from Genius Referrals, write the React or Vue component, and even add tests for it. Cline doesn't just give you a code snippet. It understands the whole task. It will import the necessary functions, handle the API call using this MCP server, and stage the new files for you to review. You get a working component, not just an idea.

Manage Advocate Data from VS Code

You can manage your referral program without leaving your editor. Ask Cline to "create a new advocate with this email and name." It runs the `register_advocate` tool and confirms the result. Need to check on someone's status? Just ask. Cline uses `get_advocate_details` to pull their information or `list_tracked_referrals` to see the leads they've sent. It's faster than logging into a web app.

Script Complex Referral Workflows

Use Cline to automate tedious marketing operations. For instance, you could tell it to write a script that pulls all payout requests via `list_payout_requests` and flags any that are older than 7 days. This isn't just about fetching data. Cline can use the `log_referral_conversion` tool to attribute a new signup from a webhook, then use `list_awarded_bonuses` to confirm the advocate got their reward. It connects the dots for you.
