Frequently asked questions
How do I find the filing history for a specific company?
Use the get_submissions tool with the company's Central Index Key (CIK). For example, Apple is 320193. The tool automatically handles leading zeros.
Can I retrieve specific financial metrics like 'Net Income' for a company?
Yes. Use get_company_concept by providing the CIK, the taxonomy (usually 'us-gaap'), and the XBRL tag (like 'NetIncomeLoss').
How can I compare a single metric across all companies for a specific year?
Use the get_xbrl_frames tool. You can specify a concept, unit, and period (e.g., 'CY2023') to get data for every reporting entity in that timeframe.
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.
