How to Use the Griffin MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline execute financial transfers using Griffin?

Yes, Cline can initiate internal movements by calling createinternaltransfer directly from your workspace. It writes the configuration payload, validates the account details using getaccount, and executes the transfer safely.

Q: How does Cline verify my API identity?

Cline uses the getme tool to confirm your active authentication status with the banking API. This ensures all subsequent calls, like fetching organization lists, run under the correct user permissions.

Q: Can I use Cline to manage Griffin payees?

Yes, Cline calls listpayees to retrieve your saved payee list from the server. It can then use this data to populate local files or generate mock payloads for your testing environment.

Q: Is my transaction history safe when using Cline?

Your transaction details retrieved via listtransactions are processed purely within Cline's local session in VS Code. The connection runs through our secure MCP gateway on Vinkius, meaning no sensitive transaction data is cached or stored on external servers.

Let Cline write code, build dashboards, and execute Griffin banking operations directly inside VS Code.

Build live banking dashboards with Cline

The `list_accounts` tool pulls real-time financial balances directly into your VS Code workspace. Cline reads this active account data, writes the frontend React components to display it, and handles the API integration automatically. You tell Cline to build an account overview page, and it fetches the necessary data using `get_organization` to populate the layout. It writes the tests, runs them in your terminal, and presents the completed diff.

Automated audit trail generation in Cline

The `list_transactions` tool fetches historic ledger entries for any specified bank account. Cline parses these transaction lists, formats them into Markdown reports, and commits them to your local git repository. If a specific transaction looks suspicious, Cline calls `get_transaction` to inspect the metadata. It appends these detailed logs directly to your active pull request to simplify audit reviews.

Direct verification management via Cline MCP Server

The `list_verifications` tool exposes the KYC and KYB compliance status of your customers inside VS Code. Cline checks this list to identify which organizations need immediate review. By querying `get_verification`, Cline pulls the precise document status and compliance flags. It then writes a notification script to alert your ops team about the specific verification failures.
