Frequently asked questions
How do I get an Apollo API Key?
Log in to your Apollo.io account, go to Settings > Integrations > API, and generate a new API key. Ensure you have the necessary permissions based on your plan.
Does searching for people consume credits?
Basic searching typically does not consume credits, but 'enriching' a contact to reveal their verified email or phone number will consume Apollo export credits according to your subscription plan.
Can I add contacts directly to my sequences?
Yes! Use the add_contact_to_sequence tool. You'll need the Contact IDs, the Sequence ID, and the ID of the email address you want to use for the outreach.
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.
