Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key?
No. The DBLP API is completely free and public. No authentication required.
What venues does DBLP cover?
DBLP indexes all major CS conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, SIGMOD, OSDI, STOC) and journals (JACM, TOCS, IEEE TPAMI). It covers over 6 million publications from thousands of venues worldwide.
Can I find co-author networks?
Yes. DBLP maintains detailed co-author relationships. You can explore an author's collaborators, see shared publications, and map research networks across institutions.
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.
