How to Use the Tower MCP in Cline

Q: How do I get project details using Tower and Cline?

You simply tell Cline to fetch the data. It uses getproject and generates a runnable snippet that pulls all necessary metadata into your current environment for scripting.

Q: Can I manage tasks with Tower and Cline?

Yes. You can use createtask, listtasks, or updatetask. Cline generates the exact code needed to handle these changes, letting you commit them as functional units.

Q: What if I need team lists using Tower and Cline?

Cline handles that by writing calls to listmembers or listteams. This lets you process the roster data—maybe filtering members based on project roles—all within your VS Code environment.

Q: Does Tower and Cline handle documentation?

It does. You can write code that calls listdocfolders to map out document structures, which is critical if you're building tooling around the content stored in Tower.

Run project workflows end-to-end with Cline: Write code against Tower's API directly in VS Code.

Perplexity

Automating task creation and updates.

Instead of manually updating status fields, you tell Cline what needs to change. It uses `create_task` when a new item is needed or `update_task` if the scope shifted. You get code that reflects the current state. Cline treats this like writing local API calls. If it finds an existing task ID using `list_tasks`, it writes the logic to modify it, staging the change for review.

Retrieving project scope and members.

Need a list of all projects or who's on which team? Cline runs `list_projects` and `list_members`. It then writes Python functions that consume this data, allowing you to process the results directly in your workspace. It’s ideal for generating reports. You can write code that iterates through every project using the returned list of IDs.

Handling deep project context.

You need a comprehensive view for an endpoint? Tell Cline to get `get_project` details, and it writes the required fetching logic. Then, you can programmatically pull related data like discussions using `list_discussions`. This lets you write scripts that combine task status (`get_task_details`) with conversation logs into one cohesive output file.
