Frequently asked questions
Can my AI create branded short links with custom aliases?
Yes. Use the create_short_link tool with the URL and an optional alias parameter. For example, ask your agent to shorten 'example.com/campaign' with alias 'summer24'.
How do I view click analytics for a specific link?
Use the get_link_stats tool with the link ID. The agent returns total clicks, referrer sources, device breakdown, and geographic distribution.
Can I manage and delete links through the AI?
Yes. The update_link tool changes the destination URL of an existing link, and delete_link permanently removes it from your account. Both require the link ID.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
