How to Use the Lancerkit MCP in Cline

Q: How does Cline use Lancerkit time logs?

The agent queries gettimelogs to analyze your active hours for any given project. It can then generate markdown summaries or code components based on those metrics. This lets you automate your weekly reporting directly inside VS Code.

Q: What should I do if a tool call fails?

You should run getstatus to verify that your API credentials are still valid. If the connection is healthy, check the Cline console for any payload formatting issues. The server output will pinpoint the exact parameter mismatch.

Let Cline build client dashboards and pull Lancerkit billing logs directly into your VS Code workspace.

Build dashboards using Lancerkit MCP Server tools

Cline works like an autonomous developer right inside your workspace. When you tell it to build a custom billing dashboard, the agent calls `list_invoices` to gather your financial statistics. It writes the React components, sets up the state, and renders the interface. You don't need to write repetitive API handlers or fake data. Cline pulls live hours using `get_time_logs` to fill the UI with real records, making your administrative tools accurate from day one.

Map files to projects automatically with Cline

Keeping your local files organized around client contracts is simple when your agent has direct MCP access. Cline calls `list_projects` to see what's active and runs `get_project` to fetch the directory structure. It then sets up your local workspace to match those exact project parameters. This setup cuts out manual directory creation and naming errors. Your agent keeps your repository aligned with your CRM files without you lifting a finger.

Audit billable services directly in VS Code

Verifying that your code matches what you're billing is a fast job for your agent. Cline calls `list_services` to fetch your rates and matches them against active tasks. It runs `list_tasks` to verify every hour spent coding is mapped to a valid billing item. This prevents unbilled work from slipping through the cracks unnoticed. The agent highlights any mismatch in VS Code, letting you fix it before you submit.
