How to Use the Refiner MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline write integration tests for my Refiner tracking code?

Yes. Cline uses trackrefinerevent to understand your event structure and writes complete Jest or Cypress tests to verify your frontend triggers.

Q: How does Cline fetch user segments from Refiner?

Cline calls listrefinersegments to retrieve your active cohorts. It then uses this data to write matching conditional rendering logic in your React components.

Q: What happens if a survey API call fails during a run?

Cline catches the error, runs checkrefinerstatus to see if it's a network issue, and adjusts its code-generation plan to include proper error boundaries.

Give Cline direct access to your Refiner survey responses to build and test feedback widgets right in VS Code.

Let Cline build custom feedback views

Cline takes your command to build a React dashboard and executes it end-to-end. It calls `list_refiner_responses` to fetch the raw JSON feedback, writes the UI component, and hooks up the live feed. You don't copy-paste anything. The agent writes the files, runs your local test runner to make sure it doesn't break, and shows you the final git diff.

Sync user profiles using Cline and this MCP Server

When you need to test user tracking, Cline uses `identify_refiner_user` and `get_refiner_contact` to pull actual contact details into your local environment. It maps these fields to your database schema. The agent writes the migration files and local integration tests. It handles the entire end-to-end pipeline while keeping your survey segments matched.

Debug survey status issues directly in VS Code

If your frontend feedback widget stops showing up, tell Cline to investigate. It runs `check_refiner_status` and `list_refiner_surveys` to verify if the survey is active and the API is reachable. It then inspects your local tracking code, finds the mismatch, and applies the fix directly to your codebase.
