Frequently asked questions
Can I create a workspace from a repo URL?
Yes! Use the create_and_start_workspace tool with the repository URL. Your agent will provision and start a cloud environment for that specific context immediately.
How do I see who is in my organization?
Simply ask the agent to run the list_organization_members action with your Organization ID. It will return a list of all users and their roles within that organization.
Can I manage environment variables for my development setups?
Yes. You can use create_environment_variable to set new secrets or configs, and list_environment_variables to review existing ones for your workspaces.
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.
