Cline

Prerequisites

VS Code with the Cline extension installed
A MCPCore server with at least one tool
The config snippet from your server’s Integration tab

Step 1 — Get your config snippet

Open your server’s detail page, click the Integration tab, and select Cline. Copy the generated snippet.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "your-server-code": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote@latest", "https://your-subdomain.mcpcore.io/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

For API Key mode:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "your-server-code": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "mcp-remote@latest",
        "https://your-subdomain.mcpcore.io/mcp",
        "--header", "Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Step 2 — Open Cline’s MCP config

In VS Code, open the Cline extension panel (sidebar icon or Command Palette → Cline: Open). Navigate to MCP Servers and click Configure MCP Servers. This opens Cline’s mcp_settings.json file.

Step 3 — Merge the snippet

Add your server entry to the mcpServers object in mcp_settings.json.

Step 4 — Save and verify

Save the file. Cline reloads MCP servers automatically. Your MCPCore tools will appear in the Cline MCP Servers list with a green status indicator.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
Server shows as error	Verify the URL is correct and the Cline extension can reach the internet
`401 Unauthorized`	Confirm the `--header` argument contains the correct API key
Tools visible but failing	Check Traffic Logs for the error detail
