Frequently asked questions
Can I merge multiple PDF files into one?
Yes. Use start_pdf_task with task type 'merge', then upload each PDF with upload_pdf_by_url, and finally call process_pdf_task to execute. Use get_pdf_download_link to retrieve the merged result.
Does iLovePDF require two credentials?
Yes. iLovePDF uses a Public Key and Secret Key pair. The server exchanges these for a JWT token automatically via api.ilovepdf.com/v1. No manual token management required.
Can I track the status of a PDF processing task?
Yes. Use get_task_status with the task ID to check progress. Use list_pdf_tasks to see all tasks with their current status (pending, processing, completed, failed).
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.
