Frequently asked questions
Can I find all professional email addresses for a specific company?
Yes. Use search_domain_emails with a domain (e.g., 'stripe.com') or company name (e.g., 'Stripe') to retrieve all professional emails found for that organization. Each result includes the email, confidence score, position, and source URLs. Use get_domain_email_count to preview how many emails are available before using search credits.
Can I verify if an email address is valid before sending outreach?
Yes. The verify_email_address tool checks the validity and deliverability of any email address. It returns a status (deliverable, undeliverable, risky, unknown), confidence score, and details about the email server (MX records, SMTP check, accept-all detection). This prevents bounces and protects your sender reputation.
How does Hunter API authentication work?
Hunter uses an API Key passed as a query parameter (?api_key=YOUR_KEY) in all requests to api.hunter.io/v2. This differs from the typical Bearer token pattern. Your API key is available in the Hunter dashboard under Account > API. Free accounts include 25 searches and 50 verifications per month.
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.
