Frequently asked questions
Can the integration forcefully license or automatically purchase an image?
No. By structural design, this module is strictly bound as an observational and search lens tailored purely around querying assets violently efficiently. It explicitly omits write protocols preventing your autonomous agent from accidentally sabotaging valid corporate wallets or unintentionally mass-licensing redundant data.
Can it search for specific internal user collections or boards?
Yes, utilizing the explicit list_collections operational protocol, the token directly verifies and systematically grabs all active native groupings created rigidly beneath the account bounding that token natively.
Is the Editorial access separated structurally from the standard image search?
Yes aggressively. Because editorial resources operate identically under completely distinct structural usage and strict rights matrices, we forcibly separate standard asset queries (search_images) strictly away from the rigorous editorial boundaries specifically bound uniquely under search_editorial.
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.
