Frequently asked questions
Can I check if a domain is available for registration?
Yes! Use check_domain_availability with the domain name. It analyzes the WHOIS record to determine if the domain appears unregistered.
How many domains can I look up at once?
Use bulk_whois_lookup with a comma-separated list of up to 10 domains to get key registration details for each one in a single request.
Can I find which domains are hosted on a specific server?
Yes! Use lookup_hosted_domains with an IPv4 or IPv6 address to perform a reverse IP lookup and discover all domains on that server.
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.
