How to Use the Modrinth MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline automate Modrinth modpack updates in my workspace?

Yes, Cline reads your local manifest, runs listversions to check for newer files, and updates the JSON file. It writes the code, runs validation tests, and stages the changes in git.

Q: How does Cline use Modrinth to resolve version conflicts?

Cline calls getprojectdependencies to find conflicting library requirements. It then queries getversion for compatible releases and rewrites your configuration to use matching versions.

Q: Can I ask Cline to find popular Modrinth plugins for my server?

Yes, you can instruct Cline to search for plugins. It uses searchprojects and filters them by looking at listprojectfollowers to find the most popular options.

Q: How do I check who owns a specific project?

Cline runs getteammembers to retrieve the team list. It can then fetch individual profiles using getuserprofile to show you the authors.

Let Cline build your Minecraft modding tools and manifest files using live Modrinth API data.

Perplexity

Build automated modpack installers inside Cline.

Tell Cline to build a custom installer script, and it will write the code while pulling live data from Modrinth. It uses `search_projects` to find the target mods and writes the download logic directly into your workspace files. The agent doesn't just write the code; it executes `get_project` to verify the project URLs and structures. It runs tests on the generated installer to make sure it runs without errors.

Let the Cline MCP Server manage version manifests.

Keeping manifests updated is tedious. Cline automates this by calling `list_versions` to check for updates to your installed mods and rewriting your JSON manifests on the fly. It uses `get_version` to grab the exact hash and download URL for the latest stable build. Cline then stages the modified manifest in git so you can review the diff.

Verify project popularity and community metrics.

Cline helps you filter out dead projects before writing them into your setup. It uses `list_project_followers` to gauge community interest and active engagement. By coupling this with `search_users` and `list_user_projects`, the agent can build a curated list of high-quality plugins that meet your strict criteria.
