Direct Lead Enrichment with Cline

Cline can now find professional contacts on command. Use `domain_search` to gather prospects and `email_count` to gauge the size of your target audience. It writes the data directly into your files. You tell it what you need, and it populates your spreadsheets or markdown files with the results.

Automated Email Verification for Cline Users

Stop worrying about bounce rates. Cline runs `email_verifier` on your lists to ensure every address is live before you start your outreach. It performs the check and reports back. If an address is suspicious, Cline marks it for removal so you only spend time on valid leads.

Full Campaign Oversight for Cline

Cline manages your Hunter campaigns without you leaving the editor. Use `list_campaigns` to see what is active and `get_campaign` to inspect specific metrics. It can also retrieve your saved leads using `list_leads`. This keeps your outreach data synced with the work you are doing in your project.
