How to Use the Guru MCP in Cline

Q: How does Cline search Guru cards during a task?

Cline uses searchknowledgebase to query your wiki whenever it encounters an unfamiliar internal API or library. It grabs the relevant details and writes code that complies with your team's existing guidelines.

Q: Can I manage collections with this MCP integration?

Yes. The agent can call getcollectiondetails to read metadata and understand the structure of your workspaces. This helps it place new cards in the correct folders.

Let Cline pull internal Guru cards directly into VS Code to build features that match your team wiki.

Perplexity

Cline executes tasks using your wiki

Cline doesn't just explain code; it builds it using your actual team rules. The agent uses `get_card_details` to read your API specs and formatting guidelines directly from your wiki. It then writes the code, runs tests, and ensures everything matches your internal standards. When it finishes a task, it can run `create_knowledge_card` to document the new architecture. Your team gets a fully updated wiki card explaining the new code path without you writing a single line of documentation.

Run deep searches with Cline MCP Server

Finding the right documentation inside VS Code used to mean opening a browser. Now, Cline uses this MCP Server to run `search_knowledge_base` and scan your entire wiki for relevant setup guides. It pulls the exact setup steps into its context window instantly. If the search returns multiple options, the agent uses `list_knowledge_collections` to filter down to the exact workspace your team cares about. It skips the noise and focuses only on what is relevant to your current folder.

Clean up outdated team cards

Codebases evolve fast, and documentation rot is a constant headache. Cline uses `delete_knowledge_card` to prune obsolete guides when you refactor old services. It cleans up the garbage so your team doesn't follow outdated instructions. Before removing anything, the agent runs `list_knowledge_cards` to make sure it isn't breaking active links. It acts as a smart gardener for your internal wiki, keeping things tidy while you focus on shipping features.
