How do I manage the email addresses associated with my account?
You can use create_email to add a new address, update_email to change settings like the default status, and delete_email to remove an address from your profile.
Is it possible to view and decline project invitations via AI?
Yes. Use get_invitation to see the details of a pending invite and decline_invitation if you do not wish to join that specific project.
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?
