How to Use the Smarty MCP in Cline

Q: How do I use Smarty with Cline for address validation?

You write TypeScript or JavaScript code that calls the validateusaddress tool. Cline executes this logic, running unit tests against the MCP Server to prove your DPV checks work every time.

Q: What happens if I use Smarty's extraction tool with Cline?

You call extractaddresses in your code. It pulls physical addresses from raw text, letting you clean up user input before it hits the main validation logic.

Q: Does Smarty support different types of addresses in Cline?

It does. You can write specific logic paths: one calling validateusaddress and another calling validateintladdress, giving your application comprehensive global coverage.

Smarty Address Validation for Cline

Cline executes code that calls `validate_us_address` to check delivery point validation (DPV) status. You'll get back precise coordinates and a definitive pass/fail status for any US address. This means you write the service layer, run tests against the Smarty MCP Server, and immediately see if your code handles bad or perfect addresses correctly.

Creating Location Service Functions with Cline

Need to build a function that parses text? Use `extract_addresses` within your component. You can write the logic to grab physical addresses from raw strings and then pass them directly into your new service module. Cline handles this end-to-end, letting you stage commits for location intelligence features without ever leaving VS Code.

Running Address Autocomplete via Cline

Implement predictive suggestions using `autocomplete_us_address` or `autocomplete_intl_address`. You can write the API endpoint that calls these tools, ensuring your application gives users accurate, type-ahead suggestions. This allows you to build a complete front-end experience around reliable location data, all within the IDE.
