Frequently asked questions
Can the agent fetch the exact mock server endpoints for one of my APIs?
Yes. You can use the get_doc_url capability to retrieve both the public facing documentation url and the private mock server endpoint string. Your agent can immediately use this url to simulate requests internally using other modules or tests.
Am I able to update the Blueprint markup completely through the agent?
Absolutely. Instruct your AI agent to fetch the blueprint with get_api. Once read into context, prompt the agent to make your desired changes (e.g. 'Add a new POST route for user creation'). Then, instruct it to use publish_blueprint to upload the newly revised markdown.
How does the team feature list function mapping work?
Apiary enables collaboration. Utilizing list_teams, the agent finds the slugs of your organizations. Then, using list_team_apis, it fetches all collaborative APIs available for that precise team. This hierarchy avoids hallucinating random endpoint repositories.
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.
