Frequently asked questions
How can I check if my video render is finished?
You can use the get_render_status tool by providing your unique Render ID. The agent will return the current status (e.g., 'completed') and the download URL if it's ready.
Can I start a new render using a JSON project definition?
Yes! Use the create_render action. You just need to provide the project object containing dimensions and layers. You can also specify a webhookUrl for automated notifications.
Is it possible to see a history of all my renders?
Absolutely. The list_renders tool fetches all renders associated with your authenticated account, allowing the AI to summarize or find specific past projects.
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.
