Frequently asked questions
Can I view survey responses and NPS scores?
Yes. Use list_surveys to see all surveys with response counts and status. Use get_survey_stats for aggregate metrics including completion rate, NPS score, and response trends. Use list_survey_responses to read individual user responses. Use get_survey for the full question list and settings.
Can I analyze heatmap data for specific pages?
Yes. Use list_heatmaps to browse all heatmap snapshots, then get_heatmap with a specific Heatmap ID to retrieve click, scroll, and move interaction data along with the page URL. This reveals where users focus attention and which elements they interact with most.
Can I track conversion funnel drop-offs?
Yes. The list_funnels tool retrieves all configured conversion funnels with step-by-step drop-off data. Each funnel shows the number of users entering each step and the percentage that continue to the next, helping you identify exactly where users abandon the flow.
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.
