Frequently asked questions
Can I search for contacts using specific filters?
Yes. The search_contacts tool accepts a JSON array of HubSpot filters. Example: [{"propertyName":"email","operator":"CONTAINS_TOKEN","value":"@company.com"}]. This uses HubSpot's native search API to find contacts matching property values, date ranges, or engagement criteria. Use get_object_schema with 'contacts' to discover all searchable properties.
Can I link contacts to companies and deals?
Yes. Use link_crm_objects with the source object type and ID, target object type and ID, and the association type name. Example: link a contact to a company with fromType='contacts', fromId='123', toType='companies', toId='456', associationType='contact_to_company'. This creates bidirectional CRM relationships.
What type of HubSpot credential do I need?
You need a Private App Access Token from your HubSpot account. This is different from OAuth tokens — it provides direct API access scoped to the permissions you select when creating the Private App. The token is sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header against api.hubapi.com.
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.
