How to Use the Guidebook MCP in Cline
Build and sync Guidebook mobile event apps directly from VS Code using the autonomous power of Cline.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Guidebook MCP to Cline
Create your Vinkius account to connect Guidebook to Cline and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Deploy Guidebook changes directly from Cline
Initialize and configure mobile event apps using `create_guide` directly inside the Cline sidebar in VS Code. Cline takes your local event configuration, runs `check_guidebook_status` to verify the connection, and builds your Guidebook app workspace. It sets up the structure and configures the base settings without you leaving VS Code. If you need to make changes to an active Guidebook event, tell Cline what to modify. The Cline agent uses `update_guide` to update branding, themes, and basic event details, showing you the exact API diff before applying the changes.
Automate event schedule management
Automate session schedule management using `list_events` and `get_event` directly from your Cline editor. Cline queries your current Guidebook sessions and compares them against your local codebase. It identifies schedule conflicts or room double-bookings in Guidebook and fixes them instantly. By calling `list_locations` through this MCP Server, the Cline agent maps every workshop to its correct physical room. You can write a single prompt in Cline to update fifty sessions, and the agent handles the sequential Guidebook API calls.
Manage attendee and exhibitor directories
Inspect and update Guidebook attendee networks using `list_attendees` to verify registration numbers inside Cline. Keep your networking features and sponsor directories updated with this MCP integration in VS Code. Cline matches this data against your CRM to identify which ticket holders have not yet logged into the Guidebook app. For sponsor booths, the Cline agent uses `list_custom_lists` and `list_custom_list_items` to inspect existing Guidebook directories. It then runs `create_custom_list_item` to populate exhibitor profiles, mapping bios, social links, and booth numbers directly from your local markdown files in VS Code.
