Frequently asked questions
How can I find detailed information about a specific NASA project if I have its ID?
You can use the get_project tool by providing the specific projectId. The agent will return comprehensive metadata including the project's description, status, and lead organizations.
Is it possible to search for active funding opportunities for space technology?
Yes! Use the search_opportunities tool with your specific criteria. You can also use list_opportunities to see all current funding calls available in the TechPort system.
Can I see the entire NASA technology taxonomy structure?
Absolutely. Use the get_taxonomy_tree tool to retrieve the full hierarchical structure of NASA's technology areas, which helps in understanding how different projects are categorized.
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.
