Cline handles complex software tasks step-by-step with tools for file editing, project exploration, browsing, and terminal commands (with approval). Using the Model Context Protocol, Cline extends capabilities safely via a human-in-the-loop interface for agentic AI.
Inspect MCP Server
Cline can create and install tools tailored to your specific workflow. Just ask Cline to "add a tool" and he will handle everything, from creating a new MCP server to installing it into the extension. These custom tools then become part of Cline's toolkit, ready to use in future tasks.
