Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Attio Personal Access Token?
Log in to your Attio account, go to Workspace Settings > Developers, and you can create a new Personal Access Token (PAT) there.
What are 'Attributes' in Attio?
Attributes are the columns or fields on an object (e.g., Name, Email, Deal Value). You can list them using the list_attributes tool.
How does 'assert_record' work?
The assert_record tool performs an 'upsert'. It checks if a record with a specific matching attribute (like an email address) already exists. If it does, it updates it; if not, it creates a new record.
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.
