Cline is an open-source coding agent that runs as IDE extensions and a CLI, and its MCP client is tool-focused: external MCP servers add custom tools beyond Cline's built-ins. Servers connect over stdio for local processes, streamable HTTP (which the docs recommend) for remote ones, and legacy SSE for backward compatibility.
Configuration has three doors: hand-editing ~/.cline/mcp.json, the
IDE's MCP Servers panel, or the cline mcp wizard in the CLI. The
documentation names no MCP spec revision, so revision support is
recorded as unknown.
