How to Use the Sensible MCP in Cline

Q: Can I manage my Sensible MCP Server configurations directly through Cline?

Yes, Cline can create, update, or delete schemas using createconfiguration, updateconfiguration, and deleteconfiguration. It lets you build and test your extraction pipelines without leaving VS Code.

Q: How does Cline verify that a Sensible extraction was successful?

Cline calls getdocument with the extraction ID to check the status. It can also pull daily coverage metrics using getextractionstatistics to ensure your production pipelines aren't dropping fields.

Q: How do I share extraction reviews with external users in Cline?

Cline calls getauthtokens to generate a temporary review link. It prints this token to your VS Code output so you can send it to manual reviewers without exposing your primary API keys.

Give Cline the power to rip structured data out of messy PDFs and build production-ready schemas right in VS Code.

End-to-end document schema generation with Cline MCP Server

The `create_document_type` tool registers a new document category directly inside your VS Code workspace. Cline uses this to scaffold database migrations that match your incoming document structures without any guesswork. To make sure the schema holds up, Cline calls `create_golden` to upload a reference document. It then runs `extract_text_from_golden` to verify exact text coordinates, making sure your code handles layout shifts before you push to main.

Synchronous local file parsing and validation

The `extract_sync` tool processes local document files by converting them to Base64 strings. Cline calls this MCP tool to quickly parse a PDF you just saved in your workspace, giving you instant access to the structured JSON. If you need specific rules applied, Cline uses `extract_sync_with_config` to parse files against a defined layout. This lets Cline run immediate local tests on your parser code to verify that the extraction matches your expectations.

Multi-document portfolio extraction

The `generate_portfolio_upload_url` tool creates secure upload links for files containing multiple distinct documents. Cline uses this to split complex portfolios into individual extractions, managing the upload process in the background. Once uploaded, Cline calls `extract_portfolio_from_url` to trigger the multi-document extraction process. It then loops through the resulting IDs using `get_document` to assemble a clean, unified dataset for your application.
