Can I view the full conversation history for a customer thread?
Yes. Use list_conversations with a mailbox ID to browse all threads, then call get_conversation_details with the conversation ID to retrieve the complete message history including sender, timestamp, and content for each message.
Does Helpwise require two separate credentials?
Yes. Helpwise uses HTTP Basic Authentication with an API Key and an API Secret. Both are generated in your Helpwise account under Settings > API. The credentials are Base64-encoded and sent in the Authorization header as Basic base64(apiKey:apiSecret).
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?
