Add custom tools to Cline using MCP!

The Model Context Protocol allows agents like Cline to plug and play custom tools, e.g. a web-search tool or GitHub tool. You can now add and configure MCP servers by clicking the new server icon in the menu bar.

To take things a step further, Cline also has the ability to create custom tools for himself. Just say "add a tool that..." and watch as he builds and installs new capabilities specific to your workflow. For example:

• "...fetches Jira tickets": Get ticket ACs and put Cline to work
• "...manages AWS EC2s": Check server metrics and scale up or down
• "...pulls PagerDuty incidents": Pulls details to help Cline fix bugs

Cline handles everything from creating the MCP server to installing it in the extension, ready to use in future tasks. The servers are saved to ~/Documents/Cline/MCP so you can easily share them with others too.

Try it yourself by asking Cline to "add a tool that gets the latest npm docs", or see a demo of MCP in action here.
