Code against the MCP Server

Need to pull structured Showpad data? You can write code that calls `list_assets` and then loops through the results. This lets you build dashboards or components directly in your workspace using asset metadata. It's about turning raw content into functional code. Write a script, run it via Cline, and see the diff right where you are working.

Search Showpad data with Cline

Don't rely on manual searches. Write an API call using `search_assets` that takes keywords as input. This allows your component to dynamically fetch relevant sales collateral for a specific client view. You can also narrow down the scope by listing available tags via `list_tags`, making sure your code only pulls content with approved classifications.

Manage user data in Showpad from Cline

Sometimes you need to validate permissions or pull specific details about a team member. Call `get_user_details` for a user ID, or run `list_users` to build out an internal roster. This is perfect for pre-flight checks before deployment. It's simple integration: fetch data into memory and use it in your component logic.
