Frequently asked questions
Can I create a certificate and send it to someone in one workflow?
Yes! First use create_credential with the recipient details and template ID, then issue_credential to make it official, and finally send_credential to deliver it via email.
How do I find the right template ID to use when creating a credential?
Use the list_credential_templates tool to browse all available templates. Each template includes its ID, name, and description. Copy the ID and use it in the create_credential tool.
Can I search for a credential by the recipient's email address?
Absolutely. Use the search_credentials tool and enter the recipient's email as the query. It will return all credentials matching that email address.
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.
