Frequently asked questions
How do I report usage events for a specific customer?
Use the ingest_events tool. You'll need to provide an array of event objects containing the customer_id, event_name, timestamp, and an idempotency_key to ensure usage is only counted once.
Can I see how much a customer will be charged before the billing cycle ends?
Yes! The get_upcoming_invoice tool allows you to fetch the draft invoice for any active subscription_id, giving you real-time visibility into accrued costs.
How do I manage prepaid credits or balances?
You can use create_ledger_entry to add or remove credits from a customer's balance. You can also use fetch_ledger to view the current state of a customer's credit ledger.
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.
