End-to-end industry coding for Cline

Cline uses `search_sic_codes` to map legacy business descriptions to valid industry standards. It performs the search, parses the output, and updates your records without you touching a single file. This eliminates the manual drudgery of looking up codes in spreadsheets. You tell the agent the goal, and it executes the classification pipeline.

Direct tool execution in Cline

The MCP Server hooks directly into the Cline sidebar, allowing you to trigger lookups with a click. Use `get_classification_details` to verify that your chosen codes meet current regulatory requirements. This provides a direct feedback loop. You see the code definition immediately, allowing for rapid validation of your underwriting criteria.

Automated status checks for reliable builds

Cline can run `check_api_status` as part of its pre-task verification. If the service is unreachable, it pauses the execution to prevent errors in your automated classification workflow. This prevents downstream failures. You get a clear, actionable log entry if the classification service experiences any downtime.
