Run end-to-end statutory updates using Cline

The `get_company` tool retrieves active registration details directly from Companies House. Cline uses this data to write local configuration files, build compliance dashboards, and stage the changes in your repository. If the local registry is missing a company, Cline executes `add_company` to register it on your portal. The agent then runs tests against the updated payload to verify everything is formatted correctly.

Audit corporate structures through the MCP Server

The `list_directors` tool pulls active officers to verify compliance status. Cline compares this list against your internal database, identifies discrepancies, and drafts the necessary correction scripts. It then runs `list_shareholders` to verify equity distribution. You get a complete visual diff of your corporate structure directly in your VS Code sidebar.

Track filing deadlines inside your editor

The `get_filing_status` tool fetches upcoming statutory deadlines for your entire portfolio. Cline parses these dates, flags urgent tasks, and writes them to your project's markdown roadmap. To ensure the connection is live before running these audits, Cline triggers `check_informdirect_status`. This keeps your local environment updated with real-time compliance schedules.
