Frequently asked questions
How can I see a list of all my bookmark folders?
You can use the list_collections tool. It will retrieve all your existing collections, allowing the AI to show you how your bookmarks are organized.
Is it possible to retrieve an archived version of a saved link?
Yes! Use the get_archive tool with the specific Link ID. This will fetch the preserved archive file associated with that link.
Can I create a new collection directly through the AI?
Absolutely. Use the create_collection tool by providing a unique ID and the collection details in the payload.
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.
