Frequently asked questions
Can I search for contacts and send messages through the AI agent?
Yes. Use search_contacts to find contacts by email, name, or custom attributes. Then use send_message to send a message to a specific contact, or reply to an active conversation thread.
Can I view full conversation histories?
Yes. list_conversations shows all conversations with status. Use get_conversation with a conversation ID to retrieve the full message thread including sender, timestamps, and content.
What type of Intercom token do I need?
You need an Access Token from a Private App in the Intercom Developer Hub. This provides scoped API access with Bearer authentication against api.intercom.io.
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.
