How to Use the Hexomatic MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline write Hexomatic scraping results directly to a local file?

Yes, Cline is built for this. It calls getworkflowresults to retrieve the data and then uses its file-writing capabilities to save it to your workspace.

Q: How does Cline handle failed Hexomatic runs?

When a run fails, Cline calls getexecutionlogs to inspect the error. It reads the diagnostic logs to see if a selector changed or if the target site blocked the request.

Q: Can I search for specific recipes inside Cline?

Yes, you can. Use listscrapingrecipes to have Cline search your custom point-and-click scraping setups and find the right one for your task.

Let Cline run Hexomatic scrapers, extract structured data, and write it directly to your local files.

Perplexity

Pull scraping results straight into VS Code

The `get_workflow_results` tool fetches the raw output data from any completed workflow execution in your account. Cline takes this structured payload and writes it directly to JSON, CSV, or markdown files in your project directory. You do not have to download files manually or copy-paste raw text from a browser tab. Tell Cline what format you need, and it parses the results, updates your local database, or commits the data to your repository.

Toggle and configure workflows using Cline

The `update_workflow_status` tool allows your agent to activate or deactivate specific scraping jobs directly from the sidebar. When you need to pause automated runs during development, Cline handles the toggle instantly. It can also call `get_workflow_details` to inspect the exact configuration of a recipe before making changes. This ensures you never run a stale or misconfigured scraper by mistake.

Inspect team environments inside this MCP Server

The `list_account_teams` tool retrieves the list of collaborators and team members associated with your workspace. Cline uses this information to verify who owns specific scraping recipes or workflows. This helps teams coordinate when building shared data pipelines. Your agent can quickly identify the correct workspace context before executing or modifying shared recipes.
