Frequently asked questions
Can I see if a background check has any issues through the agent?
Yes! Use the get_report_details tool. The agent will return the current status. If the status is 'Consider', it means some records were found that require your review.
How do I invite a new candidate to start their check?
First, use create_new_candidate to add them to your account, then use start_background_check with the appropriate package name to trigger the invitation email.
Where do I find my Checkr API Secret Key?
Log in to your Checkr dashboard and navigate to Settings -> API. You can generate and copy your Secret Key from the 'API Keys' section.
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?
