Frequently asked questions
Can I see exactly what text changed on a page between the last two checks?
Yes! Use the get_snapshot_diff tool with the watch UUID. It will return the specific differences between the current state and the previous snapshot.
How do I trigger an immediate recheck of a specific website?
You can use the get_watch tool and set the recheck parameter to '1'. This forces the server to fetch the latest version of the page immediately.
Can I filter my monitors by tags using the AI?
Absolutely. When using list_watches, you can provide a tag name to filter the results and only see monitors associated with that specific category.
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.
