Frequently asked questions
How do I retrieve a list of all countries with specific data points?
Use the get_all_countries tool. You must provide a comma-separated list in the fields parameter (e.g., 'name,capital,population') to specify exactly which information you want to receive.
Can I find countries based on the currency they use?
Yes! Use the search_by_currency tool and provide the currency name or code (like 'euro' or 'USD'). The agent will return all countries where that currency is legal tender.
Is it possible to filter countries by their geographic region?
Absolutely. Use the filter_by_region tool with values like 'Europe', 'Americas', 'Asia', 'Africa', or 'Oceania' to get a list of countries in that specific part of the world.
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.
