Frequently asked questions
How can I filter single-employer pension plans for a specific state?
You can use the list_single_employer_plans tool and provide the two-letter state code (e.g., 'NY' or 'CA') in the state parameter to get localized results.
Can I retrieve ERISA 4044 interest rates for a specific year and quarter?
Yes! The list_erisa_4044_rates tool accepts optional year and quarter parameters to fetch the exact interest assumptions you need for valuation.
Is it possible to see financial assistance payments by fiscal year?
Absolutely. Use the list_financial_assistance tool and specify the fiscal_year (e.g., 2023) to see all payments made to multiemployer plans during that period.
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.
