+### Core Extension Architecture
+
+The core extension follows a clear hierarchical structure:
+
+1. **WebviewProvider** (src/core/webview/index.ts): Manages the webview lifecycle and communication
+2. **Controller** (src/core/controller/index.ts): Handles webview messages and task management
+3. **Task** (src/core/task/index.ts): Executes API requests and tool operations
+
+This architecture provides clear separation of concerns:
+- WebviewProvider focuses on VSCode webview integration
+- Controller manages state and coordinates tasks
+- Task handles the execution of AI requests and tool operations
+
+### WebviewProvider Implementation
+
+The WebviewProvider class in `src/core/webview/index.ts` is responsible for:
+
+- Managing multiple active instances through a static set (`activeInstances`)
+- Handling webview lifecycle events (creation, visibility changes, disposal)
+- Implementing HTML content generation with proper CSP headers
+- Supporting Hot Module Replacement (HMR) for development
+- Setting up message listeners between the webview and extension
+
+The WebviewProvider maintains a reference to the Controller and delegates message handling to it. It also handles the creation of both sidebar and tab panel webviews, allowing Cline to be used in different contexts within VSCode.

+The `Controller` class manages multiple types of persistent storage:
 
 - **Global State:** Stored across all VSCode instances. Used for settings and data that should persist globally.
 - **Workspace State:** Specific to the current workspace. Used for task-specific data and settings.
 - **Secrets:** Secure storage for sensitive information like API keys.

+- Secrets storage for sensitive information
+- Event listeners for file changes and configuration updates
+
+The Controller implements methods for:
+- Saving and loading task state
+- Managing API configurations
+- Handling user authentication
+- Coordinating MCP server connections

+## API Provider System
+
+Cline supports multiple AI providers through a modular API provider system. Each provider is implemented as a separate module in the `src/api/providers/` directory and follows a common interface.
+
+### API Provider Architecture
+
+The API system consists of:
+
+1. **API Handlers**: Provider-specific implementations in `src/api/providers/`
+2. **API Transformers**: Stream transformation utilities in `src/api/transform/`
+3. **API Configuration**: User settings for API keys and endpoints
+4. **API Factory**: Builder function to create the appropriate handler
+
+Key providers include:
+- **Anthropic**: Direct integration with Claude models
+- **OpenRouter**: Meta-provider supporting multiple model providers
+- **AWS Bedrock**: Integration with Amazon's AI services
+- **Gemini**: Google's AI models
+- **Ollama**: Local model hosting
+- **LM Studio**: Local model hosting
+- **VSCode LM**: VSCode's built-in language models
+
+### API Configuration Management
+
+API configurations are stored securely:
+- API keys are stored in VSCode's secrets storage
+- Model selections and non-sensitive settings are stored in global state
+- The Controller manages switching between providers and updating configurations
+
+The system supports:
+- Secure storage of API keys
+- Model selection and configuration
+- Automatic retry and error handling
+- Token usage tracking and cost calculation
+- Context window management
+
+### Plan/Act Mode API Configuration
+
+Cline supports separate model configurations for Plan and Act modes:
+- Different models can be used for planning vs. execution
+- The system preserves model selections when switching modes
+- The Controller handles the transition between modes and updates the API configuration accordingly
+
+## Task Execution System
+
+The Task class is responsible for executing AI requests and tool operations. Each task runs in its own instance of the Task class, ensuring isolation and proper state management.

+### Context Management System
+
+The Context Management System handles conversation history truncation to prevent context window overflow errors. Implemented in the `ContextManager` class, it ensures long-running conversations remain within model context limits while preserving critical context.
+
+Key features:
+
+1. **Model-Aware Sizing**: Dynamically adjusts based on different model context windows (64K for DeepSeek, 128K for most models, 200K for Claude).
+
+2. **Proactive Truncation**: Monitors token usage and preemptively truncates conversations when approaching limits, maintaining buffers of 27K-40K tokens depending on the model.
+
+3. **Intelligent Preservation**: Always preserves the original task message and maintains the user-assistant conversation structure when truncating.
+
+4. **Adaptive Strategies**: Uses different truncation strategies based on context pressure - removing half of the conversation for moderate pressure or three-quarters for severe pressure.
+
+5. **Error Recovery**: Includes specialized detection for context window errors from different providers with automatic retry and more aggressive truncation when needed.

+## Plan/Act Mode System
+
+Cline implements a dual-mode system that separates planning from execution:
+
+### Mode Architecture
+
+The Plan/Act mode system consists of:
+
+1. **Mode State**: Stored in `chatSettings.mode` in the Controller's state
+2. **Mode Switching**: Handled by `togglePlanActModeWithChatSettings` in the Controller
+3. **Mode-specific Models**: Optional configuration to use different models for each mode
+4. **Mode-specific Prompting**: Different system prompts for planning vs. execution
+
+### Mode Switching Process
+
+When switching between modes:
+
+1. The current model configuration is saved to mode-specific state
+2. The previous mode's model configuration is restored
+3. The Task instance is updated with the new mode
+4. The webview is notified of the mode change
+5. Telemetry events are captured for analytics
+
+### Plan Mode
+
+Plan mode is designed for:
+- Information gathering and context building
+- Asking clarifying questions
+- Creating detailed execution plans
+- Discussing approaches with the user
+
+In Plan mode, the AI uses the `plan_mode_respond` tool to engage in conversational planning without executing actions.
+
+### Act Mode
+
+Act mode is designed for:
+- Executing the planned actions
+- Using tools to modify files, run commands, etc.
+- Implementing the solution
+- Providing results and completion feedback
+
+In Act mode, the AI has access to all tools except `plan_mode_respond` and focuses on implementation rather than discussion.

+## MCP (Model Context Protocol) Integration
+
+### MCP Architecture
+
+The MCP system consists of:
+
+1. **McpHub Class**: Central manager in `src/services/mcp/McpHub.ts`
+2. **MCP Connections**: Manages connections to external MCP servers
+3. **MCP Settings**: Configuration stored in a JSON file
+4. **MCP Marketplace**: Online catalog of available MCP servers
+5. **MCP Tools & Resources**: Capabilities exposed by connected servers
+
+The McpHub class:
+- Manages the lifecycle of MCP server connections
+- Handles server configuration through a settings file
+- Provides methods for calling tools and accessing resources
+- Implements auto-approval settings for MCP tools
+- Monitors server health and handles reconnection
+
+### MCP Server Types
+
+Cline supports two types of MCP server connections:
+- **Stdio**: Command-line based servers that communicate via standard I/O
+- **SSE**: HTTP-based servers that communicate via Server-Sent Events
+
+### MCP Server Management
+
+The McpHub class provides methods for:
+- Discovering and connecting to MCP servers
+- Monitoring server health and status
+- Restarting servers when needed
+- Managing server configurations
+- Setting timeouts and auto-approval rules
+
+### MCP Tool Integration
+
+MCP tools are integrated into the Task execution system:
+- Tools are discovered and registered at connection time
+- The Task class can call MCP tools through the McpHub
+- Tool results are streamed back to the AI
+- Auto-approval settings can be configured per tool
+
+### MCP Marketplace
+
+The MCP Marketplace provides:
+- A catalog of available MCP servers
+- One-click installation
+- README previews
+- Server status monitoring
+
+The Controller class manages MCP servers through the McpHub service:
+
+```typescript
+class Controller {
+  mcpHub?: McpHub
+
+  constructor(context: vscode.ExtensionContext, outputChannel: vscode.OutputChannel, webviewProvider: WebviewProvider) {
+    this.mcpHub = new McpHub(this)
+  }
+
+  async downloadMcp(mcpId: string) {
+    // Fetch server details from marketplace
+    const response = await axios.post<McpDownloadResponse>(
+      "https://api.cline.bot/v1/mcp/download",
+      { mcpId },
+      {
+        headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
+        timeout: 10000,
+      }
+    )
+
+    // Create task with context from README
+    const task = `Set up the MCP server from ${mcpDetails.githubUrl}...`
+
+    // Initialize task and show chat view
+    await this.initClineWithTask(task)
+  }
+}
+```
+
 ## Conclusion
 
 This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the Cline extension architecture, with special focus on state management, data persistence, and code organization. Following these patterns ensures robust feature implementation with proper state handling across the extension's components.
 
 Remember:
 - Always persist important state in the extension
-- The core extension exists in the src/ folder
+- The core extension follows a WebviewProvider -> Controller -> Task flow
 - Use proper typing for all state and messages
 - Handle errors and edge cases
 - Test state persistence across webview reloads

+-   **Enterprise Focus:** This guide is tailored for organizations with established AWS environments (using IAM roles, AWS SSO, AWS Organizations, etc.) to ensure secure and compliant usage.
+
+---
+
+### Step 1: Prepare Your AWS Environment
+
+#### 1.1 Create or Use an IAM Role/User
+
+1. **Sign in to the AWS Management Console:**\
+   [AWS Console](https://aws.amazon.com/console/)
+2. **Access IAM:**
+    - Search for **IAM (Identity and Access Management)** in the AWS Console.
+    - Either create a new IAM user or use your enterprise's AWS SSO to assume a dedicated role for Bedrock access.
+    - [AWS IAM User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/introduction.html)
+
+#### 1.2 Attach the Required Policies
+
+1. **Attach the Managed Policy:**
+    - Attach the **`AmazonBedrockFullAccess`** managed policy to your user/role.\
+      [View AmazonBedrockFullAccess Policy Details](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/security-iam.html)
+2. **Confirm Additional Permissions:**
+    - Ensure your policy includes permissions for model invocation (e.g., `bedrock:InvokeModel` and `bedrock:InvokeModelWithResponseStream`), model listing, and AWS Marketplace actions (like `aws-marketplace:Subscribe`).
+    - _Enterprise Tip:_ Apply least-privilege practices by scoping resource ARNs and using [Service Control Policies (SCPs)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_manage_policies_scps.html) to restrict access where necessary.
+
+---
+
+### Step 2: Verify Regional and Model Access
+
+#### 2.1 Choose and Confirm a Region
+
+1. **Select a Region:**\
+   AWS Bedrock is available in multiple regions (e.g., US East, Europe, Asia Pacific). Choose the region that meets your latency and compliance needs.\
+   [AWS Global Infrastructure](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regions_az/)
+2. **Verify Model Access:**
+    - In the AWS Bedrock console, confirm that the models your team requires (e.g., Anthropic Claude, Amazon Titan) are marked as "Access granted."
+    - **Note:** Some advanced models might require an [Inference Profile](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/inference-profiles-prereq.html) if not available on-demand.
+
+#### 2.2 Set Up AWS Marketplace Subscriptions (if needed)
+
+1. **Subscribe to Third-Party Models:**
+    - Navigate to the AWS Bedrock console and locate the model subscription section.
+    - For models from third-party providers (e.g., Anthropic), accept the terms to subscribe.
+    - [AWS Marketplace](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/)
+2. **Enterprise Tip:**
+    - Model subscriptions are often managed centrally. Confirm with your cloud team if a standard subscription process is in place.
+
+---
+
+### Step 3: Configure the Cline VS Code Extension

+    - Specify the correct **AWS Region** (e.g., `us-east-1` or your enterprise-approved region).
+4. **Select a Model:**
+    - Choose an on-demand model (e.g., **anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0**).
+5. **Save and Test:**
+    - Click **Done/Save** to apply your settings.
+    - Test the integration by sending a simple prompt (e.g., "Generate a Python function to check if a number is prime.").
+
+---
+
+### Step 4: Security, Monitoring, and Best Practices
+
+1. **Secure Access:**
+    - Prefer AWS SSO/federated roles over long-lived IAM credentials.
+    - [AWS IAM Best Practices](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/best-practices.html)
+2. **Enhance Network Security:**
+    - Consider setting up [AWS PrivateLink](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/endpoint-services-overview.html) to securely connect to Bedrock.

+    Only grant the minimum necessary permissions. Custom roles can offer finer control compared to broad predefined roles
+-   **Best Practices:**\
+    Refer to [GCP IAM Best Practices](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/best-practices)
+
+#### 5.2 Manage Resource Access
+
+-   **Project vs. Resource-Level Access:**\
+    Access can be managed at both levels. Note that resource-level permissions (e.g., for BigQuery or Cloud Storage) add to, but do not override, project-level policies
+
+#### 5.3 Monitor Usage and Quotas
+
+-   **Model Observability Dashboard:**
+
+    -   In the Vertex AI Console, navigate to the **Model Observability** dashboard
+    -   Monitor metrics such as request throughput, latency, and error rates (including 429 quota errors)
+
+-   **Quota Management:**
+    -   If you encounter 429 errors, check the **IAM & Admin > Quotas** page
+    -   Request a quota increase if necessary\
+        [Learn more about GCP Vertex AI Quotas](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/quotas)
+
+#### 5.4 Service Agents and Cross-Project Considerations
+
+-   **Service Agents:**\
+    Be aware of the different service agents:
+
+    -   Vertex AI Service Agent
+    -   Vertex AI RAG Data Service Agent
+    -   Vertex AI Custom Code Service Agent
+    -   Vertex AI Extension Service Agent
+
+-   **Cross-Project Access:**\
+    For resources in other projects (e.g., BigQuery, Cloud Storage), ensure that the appropriate roles (BigQuery Data Viewer, Storage Object Viewer) are assigned
+
+---
+
+### Conclusion
+
+By following these steps, your enterprise team can securely integrate GCP Vertex AI with the Cline VS Code extension to harness the power of **Claude 3.5 Sonnet v2**:

+title: "LiteLLM & Cline (using Codestral)"
+description: "Learn how to set up and run LiteLLM with Cline using the Codestral model. This guide covers Docker setup, configuration, and integration with Cline."
+---
+
+### Using LiteLLM with Cline
+
+This guide demonstrates how to run a demo for LiteLLM starting with the Codestral model for use with Cline.
+
+#### Prerequisites
+
+-   [Docker CLI or Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/get-started/) installed to run the LiteLLM image locally
+-   For this example config: A Codestral API Key (different from the Mistral API Keys)
+
+#### Setup
+
+1. **Create a `.env` file and fill in the appropriate field**
+
+    ```bash
+    # Tip: Use the following command to generate a random alphanumeric key:
+    # openssl rand -base64 32 | tr -dc 'A-Za-z0-9' | head -c 32
+    LITELLM_MASTER_KEY=YOUR_LITELLM_MASTER_KEY
+    CODESTRAL_API_KEY=YOUR_CODESTRAL_API_KEY
+    ```
+
+    _Note: Although this is limited to localhost, it's a good practice set LITELLM_MASTER_KEY to something secure_
+
+2. **Configuration**
+
+    We'll need to create a `config.yaml` file to contain our LiteLLM configuration. In this case we'll just have one model, 'codestral-latest' and label it 'codestral'
+
+    ```yaml
+    model_list:
+        - model_name: codestral
+          litellm_params:
+              model: codestral/codestral-latest
+              api_key: os.environ/CODESTRAL_API_KEY
+    ```
+
+#### Running the Demo
+
+1. **Startup the LiteLLM docker container**
+
+    ```bash
+    docker run \
+        --env-file .env \
+        -v $(pwd)/config.yaml:/app/config.yaml \
+        -p 127.0.0.1:4000:4000 \
+        ghcr.io/berriai/litellm:main-latest \
+        --config /app/config.yaml --detailed_debug
+    ```
+
+2. **Setup Cline**
+
+    Once the LiteLLM server is up and running you can set it up in Cline:
+
+    - Base URL should be `http://0.0.0.0:4000/v1`
+    - API Key should be the one you set in `.env` for LITELLM_MASTER_KEY
+    - Model ID is `codestral` or whatever you named it under `config.yaml`

+
+Cline supports major cloud providers like AWS Bedrock and Google's Cloud Vertex; whichever your team currently uses is appropriate, and there's no need to change providers to utilize Cline's features.
+
+For the purpose of this document, we assume your organization will use cloud-based frontier models. Cloud inference providers offer cutting-edge capabilities and the flexibility to select models which best suit your needs.
+
+Certain scenarios may warrant using local models, including handling highly sensitive data, applications requiring consistent low-latency responses, or compliance with strict data sovereignty requirements. If your team needs to utilize local models, see [Running Local Models ](/running-models-locally/read-me-first.mdx)with Cline.

+
+#### VPC Endpoint Setup
+
+To protect your team's data, Cline supports VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) endpoints, which create private connections between your data and AWS Bedrock. AWS VPCs enhance security by eliminating the need for public IP addresses, network gateways, or complex firewall rules—essentially creating a private highway for data that bypasses the public internet entirely. By keeping traffic within AWS's private network, teams also benefit from lower latency and more predictable performance when accessing services like AWS Bedrock or custom APIs. For those working with confidential information or operating in highly regulated industries like healthcare or finance, VPCs offers the perfect balance between the accessibility of cloud services and the security of private infrastructure.
+
+---
+
+1. Consult the [AWS guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/vpc-interface-endpoints.html) to creating VPC endpoints. This document specifies pre-requisites and describes the syntax used for creating VPC endpoints.
+2. Follow the directions for [creating a VPC endpoint](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/privatelink/create-interface-endpoint.html#create-interface-endpoint-aws) in the AWS console. The image below pertains to steps 4 and 5 of the AWS guide linked above.

+## Building Custom Instructions for Teams
+
+**Creating standardized project instructions ensures that all team members work within consistent guidelines. Start by documenting your project's technical foundation, then identify which information needs to be included in the instructions. The exact scope will vary depending on your team's needs, but generally it's best to provide as much information as possible. By creating comprehensive instructions that all team members follow, you establish a shared understanding of how code should be written, tested, and deployed across your project, resulting in more maintainable and consistent software.**
+
+---
+
+Here are a few topics and examples to consider for your team's custom instructions:
+
+1. **Testing framework and specific commands**
+    - "All components must include Jest tests with at least 85% coverage. Run tests using `npm run test:coverage` before submitting any pull request."
+2. **Explicit library preferences**
+    - "Use React Query for data fetching and state management. Avoid Redux unless specifically required for complex global state. For styling, use Tailwind CSS with our custom theme configuration found in `src/styles/theme.js.`"
+3. **Where to find documentation**
+    - "All API documentation is available in our internal Notion workspace under 'Engineering > API Reference'. For component usage examples, refer to our Storybook instance at `https://storybook.internal.company.com`"
+4. **Which MCP servers to use, and for which purposes**
+    - "For database operations, use the Postgres MCP server with credentials stored in 1Password under 'Development > Database'. For deployments, use the AWS MCP server which requires the deployment role from IAM. Refer to `docs/mcp-setup.md` for configuration instructions."
+5. **Coding conventions specific to your project**
+    - "Name all React components using PascalCase and all helper functions using camelCase. Place components in the `src/components` directory organized by feature, not by type. Always use TypeScript interfaces for prop definitions."

+title: "MCP Servers"
+---
+
+**Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers expand Cline's capabilities by providing standardized access to external data sources and executable functions. By implementing MCP servers, LLM tools can dynamically retrieve and incorporate relevant information from both local and remote data sources. This capability ensures that the models operate with the most current and contextually appropriate data, improving the accuracy and relevance of their outputs.**
+
+---
+
+### Secure Architecture Fundamentals
+
+MCP servers follow a client-server architecture where hosts (LLM applications like Cline) initiate connections through a transport layer to MCP servers. This architecture inherently provides security benefits as it maintains clear separation between components. Enterprise deployments should focus on the proper implementation of this architecture to ensure secure operations, particularly regarding the message exchange patterns and connection lifecycle management. For MCP architecture details, see [MCP Architecture](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/architecture), and for latest specifications, see [MCP Specifications](https://spec.modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2024-11-05/).
+
+### Transport Layer Security
+
+For enterprise environments, selecting the appropriate transport mechanism is crucial. While stdio transport works efficiently for local processes, HTTP with Server-Sent Events (SSE) transport requires additional security measures. TLS should be used for all remote connections whenever possible. This is especially important when MCP servers are deployed across different network segments within corporate infrastructure.
+
+### Message Validation and Access Control
+
+The MCP architecture defines standard error codes and message types (Requests, Results, Errors, and Notifications), providing a structured framework for secure communication. Security teams should consider message validation, sanitizing inputs, checking message size limits, and verifying JSON-RPC format. Additionally, implementing resource protection through access controls, path validation, and request rate limiting helps prevent potential abuse of MCP server capabilities.
+
+### Monitoring and Compliance
+
+For enterprise compliance requirements, implementing comprehensive logging of protocol events, message flows, and errors is essential. The MCP architecture supports diagnostic capabilities including health checks, connection state monitoring, and resource usage tracking. Organizations should extend these capabilities to meet their specific compliance needs, particularly for audit trails of all MCP server interactions and resource access patterns.
+
+By leveraging the client-server design of the MCP architecture and implementing appropriate security controls at each layer, enterprises can safely integrate MCP servers into their environments while maintaining their security posture and meeting regulatory requirements.

+## Enterprise Security with Cline
+
+#### Cline addresses enterprise security concerns through its unique client-side architecture that prioritizes data privacy, secure cloud integration, and transparent operations. Below is a comprehensive overview of how Cline maintains robust security measures for enterprise environments.
+
+---
+
+### Client-Side Architecture
+
+Cline operates exclusively as a client-side VSCode extension with zero server-side components. This fundamental design choice ensures that your code and data remain within your secure environment at all times. Unlike traditional AI assistants that send data to external servers for processing, Cline connects directly to your chosen cloud provider's AI endpoints, keeping all sensitive information within your infrastructure boundaries.
+
+<Frame>
+	<img
+		src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/cline-arch.png"
+		alt="Cline's relationship to local and remote assets"
+	/>
+</Frame>
+
+### Data Privacy Commitment
+
+Cline implements a strict zero data retention policy, meaning your intellectual property never leaves your secure environment. The extension does not collect, store, or transmit your code to any central servers. This approach significantly reduces potential attack vectors that might otherwise be introduced through data transmission to third-party systems. Telemetry collection is optional and requires explicit consent.
+
+### Cloud Provider Integration
+
+Enterprise teams can access cutting-edge AI models through their existing cloud deployments. Cline supports seamless integration with:
+
+-   AWS Bedrock
+-   Google Cloud Vertex AI
+-   Microsoft Azure
+
+These integrations utilize your organization's existing security credentials, including native IAM role assumption for AWS. This ensures that all AI processing occurs within your corporate cloud environment, maintaining compliance with your established security protocols.
+
+### Open-Source Transparency
+
+Cline's codebase is completely open-source, allowing for comprehensive security auditing by your internal teams. This transparency enables security professionals to verify exactly how the extension functions and confirm that it adheres to your organization's security requirements. Organizations can review the code to ensure it aligns with their security policies before deployment.
+
+### Controlled Modifications
+
+The extension implements safeguards against unauthorized changes to your codebase. Cline requires explicit user approval for all file modifications and terminal commands, preventing accidental or unwanted alterations. This approval-based workflow maintains the integrity of your projects while still providing AI assistance.
+
+### Enterprise Deployment Support
+
+For organizations with strict security review processes, Cline provides comprehensive documentation including detailed deployment diagrams, sequence diagrams illustrating all data flows, and complete security posture documentation. These materials facilitate thorough security reviews and help demonstrate compliance with enterprise data handling standards and regulations.
+
+### Access Control
+
+Enterprise editions of Cline (planned for Q2 2025) will include centralized administration features that allow organizations to:
+
+-   Manage user access with customizable permission levels
+-   Provision accounts with corporate credentials
+-   Immediately revoke access when needed
+-   Control which AI providers and LLM endpoints can be used
+-   Deploy standardized settings across the organization
+-   Prevent unauthorized use of personal API keys
+
+### Compliance and Governance
+
+Cline's architecture supports compliance with data sovereignty requirements and enterprise data handling regulations. The planned Enterprise Complete edition will further enhance governance with detailed audit logging, compliance reporting, and automated policy enforcement mechanisms.
+
+By combining client-side processing, direct cloud provider integration, and transparent operations, Cline offers enterprise teams a secure way to leverage AI assistance while maintaining strict control over their sensitive code and data.

+---
+title: "Checkpoints and Messages"
+description: "When working with AI coding assistants, it's easy to lose control as they make rapid changes to your codebase. That's why we built Checkpoints - your safety net for experimenting confidently."
+---
+
+Checkpoints automatically save snapshots of your workspace after each step in a task. This powerful feature lets you:
+
+-   Track and review changes made during a task
+-   Roll back to any previous point if needed
+-   Experiment confidently with auto-approve mode
+-   Maintain full control over your workspace
+
+### ⚙️ How Checkpoints Work
+
+Cline creates a checkpoint after each tool use (file edits, commands, etc.). These checkpoints:
+
+-   Work alongside your Git workflow without interference
+-   Maintain context between restores
+-   Use a shadow Git repository to track changes
+
+For example, if you're working on a feature and Cline makes multiple file changes, each change creates a checkpoint. This means you can review each modification and, if needed, roll back to any point without affecting your main Git repository.
+
+#### Viewing Changes & Restoring to Checkpoint
+
+After each tool use, you can:
+
+1. Click the "Compare" button to see modified files
+2. Click the "Restore" button to open restore options
+
+<Frame>
+	<img
+		src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/image%20(13).png"
+		alt="Checkpoint comparison and restore options"
+	/>
+</Frame>
+
+#### Rolling Back
+
+To restore to a previous point:
+
+1. Click the "Restore" button next to any step
+2. Choose from three options:
+    - **Restore Task and Workspace**: Reset both codebase and task to that point
+    - **Restore Task Only**: Keep codebase changes but revert task context
+    - **Restore Workspace Only**: Reset codebase while preserving task context
+
+Example: If Cline makes changes you don't like while styling a component, you can use "Restore Workspace Only" to revert the code changes while keeping the conversation context, allowing you to try a different approach.
+
+### 💡 Use Cases
+
+Checkpoints let you be more experimental with Cline. While human coding is often methodical and iterative, AI can make substantial changes quickly. Checkpoints help you track these changes and revert if needed.
+
+#### 1. Using Auto-Approve Mode
+
+-   Provides safety net for rapid iterations
+-   Makes it easy to undo unexpected results
+
+#### 2. Testing Different Approaches
+
+-   Try multiple solutions confidently
+-   Compare different implementations
+-   Quickly revert to working states
+-   Ideal for exploring different design patterns or architectural approaches
+
+<Frame caption="In this case, I didn't like the changes Cline made to my robot dog-walking website (still working on the robots) and I wanted to revert both the codebase and the task to before any changes were made so I could start fresh.">
+	<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/checkpointsDemo.gif" alt="Checkpoint restore demo" />
+</Frame>
+
+### ✨ Best Practices
+
+1. Use checkpoints as safety nets when experimenting
+2. Leverage auto-approve mode more confidently, knowing you can always roll back
+3. Restore selectively based on needs:
+
+    - Use "Restore Task and Workspace" for a fresh start, reversing changes to files and the task conversation.
+    - Use "Restore Task Only" to try different prompts, but leave all files as they exist
+    - Use "Restore Workspace Only" to attempt different implementations, or prune context from the task
+
+🛟 Checkpoints are your safety net when working with Cline, enabling you to experiment freely while maintaining full control over your codebase. Whether you're refactoring a complex component, trying different implementation approaches, or using auto-approve mode for rapid development, checkpoints ensure you can always review changes and roll back if needed.
+
+#### 🗑️ Deleting Checkpoints
+
+You can delete all checkpoints by using the **"Delete All History"** button in the task history menu. Note that this will also delete all tasks. Checkpoints are stored in VS Code's globalStorage.
+
+---
+
+## Editing Messages
+
+Cline allows you to edit chat messages in a task after they've been submitted (with the exception of the message that started the task).
+
+Perhaps you didn't get the results you wanted, thought of a better way to phrase your request, or need to add more information. Editing your message allows you to re-submit a request without starting over or restoring your files or workspace with checkpoints. There are two Restore options:
+
+-   **"Restore Chat"** restores just the task state and re-submits an API request to your provider with your edited message.
+
+-   **"Restore All"** restores both the task state and workspace state before re-submitting an API request. "Workspace state" refers to the condition of your workspace (files, content, etc.) at different points in the conversation.
+
+**Interactive Editing:**
+
+-   Messages can be clicked to enter edit mode
+-   Cline automatically selects all text when entering edit mode
+
+**Keyboard Shortcuts:**
+
+-   Escape: Exit edit mode
+-   Enter: Restore just the task
+-   Cmd/Ctrl + Enter: Restore the task and workspace
+-   Shift + Enter: Insert new line / line break

+
+### The `new_task` Tool & Context Management Strategies
+
+#### Overview
+
+Cline includes a powerful internal tool, `new_task`, designed to help manage workflow continuity and context preservation, especially during complex or long-running tasks. This tool, combined with Cline's awareness of its own context window usage and the flexibility of `.clinerules`, enables sophisticated strategies for breaking down work and ensuring seamless transitions between task sessions.
+
+Understanding the core capabilities and how they interact with custom rules is key to leveraging this feature effectively.
+
+#### Core Capabilities
+
+Two fundamental capabilities enable advanced context management:
+
+1. **The `new_task` Tool:**
+    - **Function:** Allows Cline, upon user approval, to end the current task session and immediately start a new one.
+    - **Context Preloading:** Crucially, Cline can **preload** this new task session with specific context provided within the tool's `<context>` block. This context can be anything Cline or a `.clinerules` file defines – summaries, code snippets, next steps, project state, etc.
+2. **Context Window Awareness:**
+    - **Tracking:** Cline internally tracks the percentage of its available context window currently being used during a task.
+    - **Visibility:** This information is visible in the `environment_details` provided to Cline in its prompt.
+
+#### Using the `/newtask` Slash Command
+
+As a quick alternative to Cline suggesting the `newtask` tool or defining complex rules, you can directly initiate the process using a Slash Command.
+
+-   **How:** Simply type `/newtask` in the chat input field.
+-   **Action:** Cline will propose creating a new task, typically suggesting context based on the current session (similar to its default behavior when using the tool). You will still get the `ask_followup_question` prompt to confirm and potentially modify the context before the new task is created.
+-   **Benefit:** Provides a fast, user-initiated way to leverage the `new_task` functionality for branching explorations or managing long sessions without waiting for Cline to suggest it.
+
+#### Default Behavior (Without `.clinerules`)
+
+By default, without specific `.clinerules` dictating its behavior:
+
+-   **Tool Availability:** The `new_task` tool exists, and Cline _can_ choose to use it.
+-   **Context Awareness:** Cline _is_ aware of its context usage percentage.
+-   **No Automatic Trigger:** Cline **will not** automatically initiate a task handoff _solely_ based on context usage reaching a specific percentage (like 50%). The decision to suggest using `new_task` comes from the AI model's reasoning based on the overall task progress and prompt instructions.
+-   **Basic Context Preloading:** If `new_task` is used without specific rules defining the `<context>` block structure, Cline will attempt to preload relevant information based on its current understanding (e.g., a basic summary of progress and next steps), but this may be less comprehensive than a rule-driven approach.
+
+#### The Power of `.clinerules`: Enabling Custom Workflows
+
+While the core capabilities exist by default, the true power, automation, and customization emerge when you combine `new_task` and context awareness with custom workflows defined in `.clinerules`. This allows you to precisely control _when_ and _how_ Cline manages context and task continuity.
+
+Key benefits of using `.clinerules` with `new_task`:
+
+-   **Automated Context Management:** Define rules to automatically trigger handoffs at specific context percentages (e.g., >50%, >70%) or token counts, ensuring optimal performance and preventing context loss.
+-   **Model-Specific Optimization:** Tailor handoff triggers based on known thresholds for different LLMs (e.g., trigger earlier for models known to degrade past a certain token count).
+-   **Intelligent Breakpoints:** Instruct Cline via rules to find logical stopping points (e.g., after completing a function or test) _after_ a context threshold is passed, ensuring cleaner handoffs.
+-   **Structured Task Decomposition:** Use Plan Mode to define subtasks, then use `.clinerules` to have Cline automatically create a new task via `new_task` upon completing each subtask, preloading the context for the _next_ subtask.
+-   **Custom Context Packaging:** Mandate the exact structure and content of the `<context>` block in `.clinerules` for highly detailed and consistent handoffs (see example below).
+-   **Improved Memory Persistence:** Use `new_task` context blocks as a primary, integrated way to persist information across sessions, potentially replacing or supplementing file-based memory systems.
+-   **Workflow Automation:** Define rules for specific scenarios, like always preloading certain setup instructions or project boilerplate when starting tasks of a particular type.
+
+#### Example Rule-Driven Workflow: Task Handoff Process
+
+A common workflow, **driven by specific `.clinerules` like the example below**, involves these steps:
+
+1. **Trigger Identification (Rule-Based):** Cline monitors for handoff points defined in the rules (e.g., context usage > 50%, task completion).
+2. **User Confirmation:** Cline uses `ask_followup_question` to propose creating a new task, often showing the intended context defined by the rules.
+
+    ```xml
+    <ask_followup_question>
+    <question>I've completed [specific accomplishment] and context usage is high (XX%). Would you like me to create a new task to continue with [remaining work], preloading the following context?</question>
+    <options>["Yes, create new task", "Modify context first", "No, continue this session"]</options>
+    </ask_followup_question>
+    ```
+
+3. **User Control:** You can approve, deny, or ask Cline to modify the context before the new task is created.
+4. **Context Packaging (`new_task` Tool):** If approved, Cline uses `new_task`, packaging the context according to the structure mandated by the `.clinerules`.
+5. **New Task Creation:** The current task ends, and a new session begins immediately, preloaded with the specified context.
+
+#### The Handoff Context Block (Rule-Defined Structure)
+
+The effectiveness of rule-driven handoffs depends heavily on how `.clinerules` define the `<context>` block. A comprehensive structure often includes:
+
+-   **`## Completed Work`**: Detailed list of accomplishments, files modified/created, key decisions.
+-   **`## Current State`**: Project status, running processes, key file states.
+-   **`## Next Steps`**: Clear, prioritized list of remaining tasks, implementation details, known challenges.
+-   **`## Reference Information`**: Links, code snippets, patterns, user preferences.
+-   **Actionable Start:** A clear instruction for the immediate next action.
+
+#### Potential Use Cases & Workflows
+
+The flexibility of `new_task` combined with `.clinerules` opens up many possibilities:
+
+-   **Proactive Context Window Management:** Automatically trigger handoffs at specific percentages (e.g., 50%, 70%) or token counts to maintain optimal performance.
+-   **Intelligent Breakpoints:** Instruct Cline to find logical stopping points (e.g., after completing a function or test) _after_ a context threshold is passed, ensuring cleaner handoffs.
+-   **Structured Task Decomposition:** Use Plan Mode to define subtasks, then use `.clinerules` to have Cline automatically create a new task via `new_task` upon completing each subtask.
+-   **Automated Session Summaries:** Configure the `<context>` block to always include a summary of the previous session's key discussion points.
+-   **Preloading Boilerplate/Setup:** Start new tasks related to specific projects preloaded with standard setup instructions or file templates.
+-   **"Memory Bank" Alternative:** Use `new_task` context blocks as the primary way to persist information across sessions, potentially replacing file-based memory systems.
+
+Experimenting with `.clinerules` is encouraged to discover workflows that best suit your needs!
+
+#### Example `.clinerules`: Task Handoff Strategy Guide
+
+Below is an example `.clinerules` file focused specifically on using `new_task` for context window management. **Remember, this is just one specific strategy; the core `new_task` tool can be used differently with other custom rules.**
+
+````markdown
+# You MUST use the `new_task` tool: Task Handoff Strategy Guide
+
+**⚠️ CRITICAL INSTRUCTIONS - YOU MUST FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES ⚠️**
+
+This guide provides **MANDATORY** instructions for effectively breaking down complex tasks and implementing a smooth handoff process between tasks. You **MUST** follow these guidelines to ensure continuity, context preservation, and efficient task completion.
+
+## ⚠️ CONTEXT WINDOW MONITORING - MANDATORY ACTION REQUIRED ⚠️
+
+You **MUST** monitor the context window usage displayed in the environment details. When usage exceeds 50% of the available context window, you **MUST** initiate a task handoff using the `new_task` tool.
+
+Example of context window usage over 50% with a 200K context window:
+
+\`\`\`text
+
+# Context Window Usage
+
+105,000 / 200,000 tokens (53%)
+Model: anthropic/claude-3.7-sonnet (200K context window)
+\`\`\`
+
+**IMPORTANT**: When you see context window usage at or above 50%, you MUST:
+
+1. Complete your current logical step
+2. Use the `ask_followup_question` tool to offer creating a new task
+3. If approved, use the `new_task` tool with comprehensive handoff instructions
+
+## Task Breakdown in Plan Mode - REQUIRED PROCESS
+
+Plan Mode is specifically designed for analyzing complex tasks and breaking them into manageable subtasks. When in Plan Mode, you **MUST**:
+
+### 1. Initial Task Analysis - REQUIRED
+
+-   **MUST** begin by thoroughly understanding the full scope of the user's request
+-   **MUST** identify all major components and dependencies of the task
+-   **MUST** consider potential challenges, edge cases, and prerequisites
+
+### 2. Strategic Task Decomposition - REQUIRED
+
+-   **MUST** break the overall task into logical, discrete subtasks
+-   **MUST** prioritize subtasks based on dependencies (what must be completed first)
+-   **MUST** aim for subtasks that can be completed within a single session (15-30 minutes of work)
+-   **MUST** consider natural breaking points where context switching makes sense
+
+### 3. Creating a Task Roadmap - REQUIRED
+
+-   **MUST** present a clear, numbered list of subtasks to the user
+-   **MUST** explain dependencies between subtasks
+-   **MUST** provide time estimates for each subtask when possible
+-   **MUST** use Mermaid diagrams to visualize task flow and dependencies when helpful
+
+\`\`\`mermaid

+B --> C
+C --> D
+\`\`\`
+
+### 4. Getting User Approval - REQUIRED
+
+-   **MUST** ask for user feedback on the proposed task breakdown
+-   **MUST** adjust the plan based on user priorities or additional requirements
+-   **MUST** confirm which subtask to begin with
+-   **MUST** request the user to toggle to Act Mode when ready to implement
+
+## Task Implementation and Handoff Process - MANDATORY PROCEDURES
+
+When implementing tasks in Act Mode, you **MUST** follow these guidelines for effective task handoff:
+
+### 1. Focused Implementation - REQUIRED
+
+-   **MUST** focus on completing the current subtask fully
+-   **MUST** document progress clearly through comments and commit messages
+-   **MUST** create checkpoints at logical completion points
+
+### 2. Recognizing Completion Points - CRITICAL
+
+You **MUST** identify natural handoff points when:
+
+-   The current subtask is fully completed
+-   You've reached a logical stopping point in a larger subtask
+-   The implementation is taking longer than expected and can be continued later
+-   The task scope has expanded beyond the original plan
+-   **CRITICAL**: The context window usage exceeds 50% (e.g., 100,000+ tokens for a 200K context window)
+
+### 3. Initiating the Handoff Process - MANDATORY ACTION
+
+When you've reached a completion point, you **MUST**:
+
+1. Summarize what has been accomplished so far
+2. Clearly state what remains to be done
+3. **MANDATORY**: Use the `ask_followup_question` tool to offer creating a new task:
+
+\`\`\`xml
+<ask_followup_question>
+<question>I've completed [specific accomplishment]. Would you like me to create a new task to continue with [remaining work]?</question>
+<options>["Yes, create a new task", "No, continue in this session", "Let me think about it"]</options>
+</ask_followup_question>
+\`\`\`
+
+### 4. Creating a New Task with Context - REQUIRED ACTION
+
+If the user agrees to create a new task, you **MUST** use the `new_task` tool with comprehensive handoff instructions:
+
+\`\`\`xml
+<new_task>
+<context>
+
+# Task Continuation: [Brief Task Title]
+
+## Completed Work
+
+-   [Detailed list of completed items]
+-   [Include specific files modified/created]
+-   [Note any important decisions made]
+
+## Current State
+
+-   [Description of the current state of the project]
+-   [Any running processes or environment setup]
+-   [Key files and their current state]
+
+## Next Steps
+
+-   [Detailed list of remaining tasks]
+-   [Specific implementation details to address]
+-   [Any known challenges to be aware of]
+
+## Reference Information
+
+-   [Links to relevant documentation]
+-   [Important code snippets or patterns to follow]
+-   [Any user preferences noted during the current session]
+
+Please continue the implementation by [specific next action].
+</context>
+</new_task>
+\`\`\`
+
+### 5. Detailed Context Transfer - MANDATORY COMPONENTS
+
+When creating a new task, you **MUST** always include:
+
+#### Project Context - REQUIRED
+
+-   **MUST** include the overall goal and purpose of the project
+-   **MUST** include key architectural decisions and patterns
+-   **MUST** include technology stack and dependencies
+
+#### Implementation Details - REQUIRED
+
+-   **MUST** list files created or modified in the current session
+-   **MUST** describe specific functions, classes, or components implemented
+-   **MUST** explain design patterns being followed
+-   **MUST** outline testing approach
+
+#### Progress Tracking - REQUIRED
+
+-   **MUST** provide checklist of completed items
+-   **MUST** provide checklist of remaining items
+-   **MUST** note any blockers or challenges encountered
+
+#### User Preferences - REQUIRED
+
+-   **MUST** note coding style preferences mentioned by the user
+-   **MUST** document specific approaches requested by the user
+-   **MUST** highlight priority areas identified by the user
+
+## Best Practices for Effective Handoffs - MANDATORY GUIDELINES
+
+### 1. Maintain Continuity - REQUIRED
+
+-   **MUST** use consistent terminology between tasks
+-   **MUST** reference previous decisions and their rationale
+-   **MUST** maintain the same architectural approach unless explicitly changing direction
+
+### 2. Preserve Context - REQUIRED
+
+-   **MUST** include relevant code snippets in the handoff
+-   **MUST** summarize key discussions from the previous session
+-   **MUST** reference specific files and line numbers when applicable
+
+### 3. Set Clear Next Actions - REQUIRED
+
+-   **MUST** begin the handoff with a clear, actionable next step
+-   **MUST** prioritize remaining tasks
+-   **MUST** highlight any decisions that need to be made
+
+### 4. Document Assumptions - REQUIRED
+
+-   **MUST** clearly state any assumptions made during implementation
+-   **MUST** note areas where user input might be needed
+-   **MUST** identify potential alternative approaches
+
+### 5. Optimize for Resumability - REQUIRED
+
+-   **MUST** structure the handoff so the next session can begin working immediately
+-   **MUST** include setup instructions if environment configuration is needed
+-   **MUST** provide a quick summary at the top for rapid context restoration
+
+## Example Task Handoff
+
+### Example #1 of an effective task handoff:
+
+\`\`\`xml
+<new_task>
+<context>
+
+# Task Continuation: Implement User Authentication System
+
+## Completed Work
+
+-   Created basic Express.js server structure
+-   Implemented MongoDB connection and user schema
+-   Completed user registration endpoint with password hashing
+-   Added input validation using Joi
+-   Created initial test suite for registration endpoint
+
+## Current State
+
+-   Server runs successfully on port 3000
+-   MongoDB connection is established
+-   Registration endpoint (/api/users/register) is fully functional
+-   Test suite passes for all registration scenarios
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Implement login endpoint (/api/users/login)
+    - Use bcrypt to compare passwords
+    - Generate JWT token upon successful login
+    - Add proper error handling for invalid credentials
+2. Create authentication middleware
+    - Verify JWT tokens
+    - Extract user information
+    - Handle expired tokens
+3. Add protected routes that require authentication
+4. Implement password reset functionality
+
+## Reference Information
+
+-   JWT secret should be stored in .env file
+-   Follow the existing error handling pattern in routes/users.js
+-   User schema is defined in models/User.js
+-   Test patterns are established in tests/auth.test.js
+
+Please continue by implementing the login endpoint following the same patterns established in the registration endpoint.
+</context>
+</new_task>
+\`\`\`
+
+### Example #2 of an ineffective task handoff:
+
+_(Note: The example provided in the original rules showing "YOLO MODE Implementation" seems less like a direct handoff context block and more like a general status update with future considerations. A true ineffective handoff might lack detail in 'Current State' or 'Next Steps')._
+
+## When to Use Task Handoffs - MANDATORY TRIGGERS
+
+You **MUST** initiate task handoffs in these scenarios:
+
+1. **CRITICAL**: When context window usage exceeds 50% (e.g., 100,000+ tokens for a 200K context window)
+2. **Long-running projects** that exceed a single session
+3. **Complex implementations** with multiple distinct phases
+4. **When context window limitations** are approaching
+5. **When switching focus areas** within a larger project
+6. **When different expertise** might be beneficial for different parts of the task
+
+**⚠️ FINAL REMINDER - CRITICAL INSTRUCTION ⚠️**
+
+You **MUST** monitor the context window usage in the environment details section. When it exceeds 50% (e.g., "105,000 / 200,000 tokens (53%)"), you **MUST** proactively initiate the task handoff process using the `ask_followup_question` tool followed by the `new_task` tool. You MUST use the `new_task` tool.
+
+By strictly following these guidelines, you'll ensure smooth transitions between tasks, maintain project momentum, and provide the best possible experience for users working on complex, multi-session projects.
+
+```markdown
+## User Interaction & Workflow Considerations
+
+-   **Linear Flow:** Currently, using `new_task` creates a linear sequence. The old task ends, and the new one begins. The old task history remains accessible for backtracking.
+-   **User Approval:** You always have control, approving the handoff and having the chance to modify the context Cline proposes to carry forward.
+-   **Flexibility:** The core `new_task` tool is a flexible building block. Experiment with `.clinerules` to create workflows that best suit your needs, whether for strict context management, task decomposition, or other creative uses.

+title: "Remote Browser Support"
+description: "Remote browser support allows Cline to utilize a remote Chrome instance, leveraging authentication tokens and session cookies relevant to certain web development test cases."
+icon: globe-pointer
+---
+
+The Remote Browser feature in Cline allows the AI assistant to interact with web content directly through a controlled browser instance. This enables several powerful capabilities:
+
+-   Viewing and interacting with websites
+-   Testing locally running web applications
+-   Monitoring console logs and errors
+-   Performing browser actions like clicking, typing, and scrolling
+
+## Remote Browser in Cline
+
+### What is Remote Browser?
+
+Remote Browser allows Cline to view and interact with websites directly. This feature enables Cline to:
+
+-   Visit websites and view their content
+-   Test your locally running web applications
+-   Fill out forms and click on elements
+-   Capture screenshots of what it sees
+-   Scroll through pages to see more content
+
+### How to Use Remote Browser
+
+#### Basic Commands
+
+You can ask Cline to use the browser with simple instructions:
+
+-   **Open a website**: "Use the browser to check the website at [https://example.com](https://example.com/)"
+-   **Click on elements**: "Click the login button"
+-   **Type text**: "Type 'Hello world' in the search box"
+-   **Scroll the page**: "Scroll down to see more content"
+-   **Close the browser**: "Close the browser now"
+
+#### Example Workflows
+
+**Testing a Web Application:**
+
+```javascript
+Can you start my React app with "npm start" and then check if it's working properly at http://localhost:3000?
+```
+
+**Analyzing a Website:**
+
+```javascript
+Can you visit https://example.com and tell me what you think about its design and layout?
+```
+
+**Filling Out a Form:**
+
+```javascript
+Please go to https://example.com/contact, fill out the contact form with some test data, and submit it.
+```
+
+### Important Things to Know
+
+#### One Browser at a Time
+
+Cline can only use one browser at a time. If you want to visit a different website, you can either:
+
+-   Ask Cline to navigate to a new URL within the same browser session
+-   Ask Cline to close the current browser and open a new one
+
+#### Browser Must Be Closed Before Using Other Tools
+
+If you want Cline to edit files or run commands after using the browser, you must first ask it to close the browser:
+
+```javascript
+Close the browser and then update the CSS file to fix the alignment issue we saw.
+```
+
+#### What Cline Sees
+
+The browser has a fixed viewport size (900x600 pixels by default), similar to a small laptop screen. Cline will share screenshots after each action so you can see exactly what it sees.
+
+#### Console Logs
+
+Cline captures browser console logs, which can be helpful for debugging web applications. These logs are included with each screenshot.
+
+### Common Use Cases
+
+-   **Web Development**: Test your websites and web applications
+-   **UI/UX Review**: Get feedback on website design and usability
+-   **Content Research**: Have Cline browse websites to gather information
+-   **Form Testing**: Verify that forms work correctly
+-   **Responsive Design Testing**: Check how websites look at different screen sizes
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+-   **If a website doesn't load**: Try providing a direct URL with the http:// or https:// prefix
+-   **If clicking doesn't work**: Try describing the location of the element more precisely
+-   **If the browser seems stuck**: Ask Cline to close the browser and try again
+
+### Using Remote Browser with VS Code in WSL
+
+When running VS Code in WSL, you'll need to configure Windows to allow WSL to connect to Chrome. Follow these steps:
+
+#### Open PowerShell as Administrator and Run:
+
+```powershell
+# Allow WSL to connect to Chrome's debugging port
+New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WSL Chrome Debug" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 9222 -Protocol TCP -Action Allow
+```
+
+#### Configure Cline in VS Code:
+
+1. Open VS Code settings
+2. Search for "Cline: Chrome Executable Path"
+3. Set the value to the path of your Chrome executable (e.g., `C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe`)
+
+Cline should now be able to use the Remote Browser feature from within WSL.

docs/exploring-clines-tools/slash-commands.mdx

@@ -0,0 +1,57 @@
+---
+title: "Slash Commands"
+---
+
+#### Overview
+
+Cline provides slash commands as a quick way to invoke specific tools or actions directly from the chat input, offering shortcuts for common operations. This page details the available slash commands and their usage.
+
+#### /newtask
+
+The `/newtask` slash command provides a fast, user-initiated way to leverage the `new_task` tool's functionality for branching explorations or managing long sessions without waiting for Cline to suggest it.
+
+**Functionality:**
+
+1. **Initiation:** Typing `/newtask` in the chat input signals Cline to prepare for starting a new task session.
+2. **Context Proposal:** Cline proposes creating a new task and typically suggests context to preload based on the current session (summarizing key aspects like current work, technical concepts, relevant files, problems solved, and next steps).
+3. **User Confirmation:** You will receive a confirmation prompt (via the `ask_followup_question` tool) displaying the proposed context. You can approve it directly or modify the context before the new task begins.
+4. **New Session:** Upon confirmation, Cline ends the current task session and immediately starts a new one, preloaded with the approved context.
+
+**Benefit:** Allows you to cleanly branch your work or start a new phase while carrying over essential background information ("knowledge transfer") without manual copying or losing the thread of the previous session.
+
+#### /smol (alias /compact)
+
+The `/smol` slash command (with `/compact` as an alias) allows you to condense the chat history **within your current task**. This is useful when a conversation becomes very long, potentially impacting performance or making it harder for the model to maintain focus.
+
+**Functionality:**
+
+1. **Initiation:** Typing `/smol` or `/compact` tells Cline you want to condense the current chat history. You can optionally add instructions after the command to guide the summarization process (e.g., `/smol focus only on the database changes` or `/smol be concise, use bullet points`).
+2. **Summarization:** Cline analyzes the conversation history, considering any additional instructions provided, and generates a summary focusing on key elements: recent discussion points, important decisions, technical concepts, relevant files, problems solved, and planned next steps. Cline determines the appropriate length and detail for the summary. It retains the beginning and very recent parts of the chat while summarizing the middle sections.
+3. **User Confirmation:** Cline presents this generated summary to you via a confirmation prompt and asks if it accurately reflects the essential context.
+4. **Condensing:** If you approve the summary, Cline replaces the summarized middle portion of the chat history in its active context with the generated summary. This reduces the overall token count for subsequent interactions within the _same task_.
+5. **Feedback:** If you reject the summary or provide feedback, Cline will retain the original history and incorporate your feedback for future actions.
+
+**Benefit:** Helps maintain focus and manage token usage during very long, continuous tasks (like deep debugging or extended feature development) without needing to start an entirely new task session. Allows user guidance on the summarization focus.
+
+#### When to Use Which?
+
+Choosing between `/newtask` and `/smol` depends on your goal:
+
+-   Use `/smol` (or `/compact`) when:
+    -   You want to continue the **same task**, but the chat history has become very long or costly.
+    -   You need to reduce token usage for upcoming interactions within the current workflow.
+    -   Example: Deep debugging session where you want to summarize previous steps before continuing.
+-   Use `/newtask` when:
+    -   You have finished one phase of work and want to start a **fresh, related task**.
+    -   You want to branch your exploration while preserving key context from the previous session.
+    -   Example: Moving from developing Feature A to starting work on Feature B, carrying over relevant architectural decisions.
+
+#### Why Manage Context?
+
+While Cline supports large context windows, actively managing context using tools and commands like `/newtask` and `/smol` is often beneficial:
+
+-   **Performance:** Large language models can sometimes experience performance degradation or lose focus when context windows become extremely full (e.g., over 50-75% capacity, depending on the model). Condensing or resetting context can help maintain optimal performance.
+-   **Relevance:** Summarizing or starting fresh ensures the most relevant information is prioritized in the context window.
+-   **Cost:** Reducing the number of tokens sent to the model in each turn can help manage costs, especially with more expensive models.
+
+Using `/newtask` and `/smol` provides you with direct control over the conversation context, allowing for more efficient and effective interaction with Cline.

+
+## Understanding Context Windows
+
+Think of a context window as your AI assistant's working memory - similar to RAM in a computer. It determines how much information the model can "remember" and process at once during your conversation. This includes:
+
+-   Your code files and conversations
+-   The assistant's responses
+-   Any documentation or additional context provided
+
+Context windows are measured in tokens (roughly 3/4 of a word in English). Different models have different context window sizes:
+
+-   Claude 3.5 Sonnet: 200K tokens
+-   DeepSeek Models: 128K tokens
+-   Gemini Flash 2.0: 1M tokens
+-   Gemini 1.5 Pro: 2M tokens
+
+When you reach the limit of your context window, older information needs to be removed to make room for new information - just like clearing RAM to run new programs. This is why sometimes AI assistants might seem to "forget" earlier parts of your conversation.
+
+Cline helps you manage this limitation with its Context Window Progress Bar, which shows:
+
+-   Input tokens (what you've sent to the model)
+-   Output tokens (what the model has generated)
+-   A visual representation of how much of your context window you've used
+-   The total capacity for your chosen model
+
+<Frame caption="Visual representation of the context window usage in Cline">
+	<img
+		src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/image%20(11).png"
+		alt="Context window progress bar example"
+	/>
+</Frame>
+
+This visibility helps you work more effectively with Cline by letting you know when you might need to start fresh or break tasks into smaller chunks.

+
+### A Note on Local Models
+
+While running models locally might seem appealing for cost savings, we currently don't recommend any local models for use with Cline. [Local models are significantly less reliable](https://docs.cline.bot/running-models-locally/read-me-first) at using Cline's essential tools and typically retain only 1-26% of the original model's capabilities. The full cloud version of DeepSeek-R1, for example, is 671B parameters - local versions are drastically simplified copies that struggle with complex tasks and tool usage. Even with high-end hardware (RTX 3070+, 32GB+ RAM), you'll experience slower responses, less reliable tool execution, and reduced capabilities. For the best development experience, we recommend sticking with the cloud models listed above.
+
+### Key Takeaways
+
+1. **Plan vs Act Matters**: Choose models based on task type
+2. **Real Performance > Benchmarks**: Focus on actual Cline performance
+3. **Mix & Match**: Use different models for planning and implementation
+4. **Cost vs Quality**: Premium models worth it for critical code
+5. **Keep Backups**: Have alternatives ready for API issues
+
+_\*Note: Based on real usage patterns and community feedback rather than just benchmarks. Your experience may vary. This is not an exhaustive list of all the models available for use within Cline._

+description: "Learn how to effectively manage your task history, use favorites, and organize your work in Cline."
+---
+
+# Task Management
+
+As you use Cline, you'll accumulate many tasks over time. The task management system helps you organize, filter, search, and clean up your task history to keep your workspace efficient.
+
+## Accessing Task History
+
+You can access your task history by:
+
+1. Clicking on the "History" button in the Cline sidebar
+2. Using the command palette to search for "Cline: Show Task History"
+
+## Task History Features
+
+The task history view provides several powerful features:
+
+### Searching and Filtering
+
+-   **Search Bar**: Use the fuzzy search at the top to quickly find tasks by content
+-   **Sort Options**: Sort tasks by:
+    -   Newest (default)
+    -   Oldest
+    -   Most Expensive (highest API cost)
+    -   Most Tokens (highest token usage)
+    -   Most Relevant (when searching)
+-   **Favorites Filter**: Toggle to show only favorited tasks
+
+### Task Actions
+
+Each task in the history view has several actions available:
+
+-   **Open**: Click on a task to reopen it in the Cline chat
+-   **Favorite**: Click the star icon to mark a task as a favorite
+-   **Delete**: Remove individual tasks (favorites are protected from deletion)
+-   **Export**: Export a task's conversation to markdown
+
+## ⭐ Task Favorites
+
+The favorites feature allows you to mark important tasks that you want to preserve and find quickly.
+
+### How Favorites Work
+
+-   **Marking Favorites**: Click the star icon next to any task to toggle its favorite status
+-   **Protection**: Favorited tasks are protected from individual and bulk deletion operations (can be overridden)
+-   **Filtering**: Use the favorites filter to quickly access your important tasks
+
+## Batch Operations
+
+The task history view supports several batch operations:
+
+-   **Select Multiple**: Use the checkboxes to select multiple tasks
+-   **Select All/None**: Quickly select or deselect all tasks
+-   **Delete Selected**: Remove all selected tasks
+-   **Delete All**: Remove all tasks from history (favorites are preserved unless you choose to include them)
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Favorite Important Tasks**: Mark reference tasks or frequently accessed conversations as favorites
+2. **Regular Cleanup**: Periodically remove old or unused tasks to improve performance
+3. **Use Search**: Leverage the fuzzy search to quickly find specific conversations
+4. **Export Valuable Tasks**: Export important tasks to markdown for external reference
+
+Task management helps you maintain an organized workflow when using Cline, allowing you to quickly find past conversations, preserve important work, and keep your history clean and efficient.

+>
+> -   Context = The information Cline knows about your project
+> -   Context Window = How much information Cline can hold at once
+> -   Use context files to maintain project knowledge

+</Frame>
+
+Think of working with Cline like collaborating with a thorough, proactive teammate:
+
+### How Context is Built
+
+Cline actively builds context in two ways:
+
+1. **Automatic Context Gathering (i.e. Cline-driven)**
+    - Proactively reads related files
+    - Explores project structure
+    - Analyzes patterns and relationships
+    - Maps dependencies and imports
+    - Asks clarifying questions
+2. **User-Guided Context**
+    - Share specific files
+    - Provide documentation
+    - Answer Cline's questions
+    - Guide focus areas
+    - Share design thoughts and requirements
+
+💡 **Key Point**: Cline isn't passive - it actively seeks to understand your project. You can either let it explore or guide its focus, especially in [Plan](https://docs.cline.bot/exploring-clines-tools/plan-and-act-modes-a-guide-to-effective-ai-development) mode.
+
+### Context & Context Windows
+
+Think of context like a whiteboard you and Cline share:
+
+-   **Context** is all the information available:
+    -   What Cline has discovered
+    -   What you've shared
+    -   Your conversation history
+    -   Project requirements
+    -   Previous decisions
+-   **Context Window** is the size of the whiteboard itself:
+    -   Measured in tokens (1 token ≈ 3/4 of an English word)
+    -   Each model has a fixed size:
+        -   Claude 3.5 Sonnet: 200,000 tokens
+        -   DeepSeek: 64,000 tokens
+    -   When the whiteboard is full, you need to erase (clear context) to write more
+        -   [How Cline manages context under the hood](https://cline.bot/blog/understanding-the-new-context-window-progress-bar-in-cline)
+
+⚠️ **Important**: Having a large context window (like Claude's 200k tokens) doesn't mean you should fill it completely. Just like a cluttered whiteboard, too much information can make it harder to focus on what's important.
+
+## Understanding the Context Window Progress Bar
+
+Cline provides a visual way to monitor your context window usage through a progress bar:
+
+<Frame caption="Visual representation of the context window usage">

+-   ↓ shows output tokens (what the LLM has generated)
+-   The progress bar visualizes how much of your context window you've used
+-   The total shows your model's maximum capacity (e.g., 200k for Claude 3.5-Sonnet)
+
+### When to Watch the Bar
+
+-   During long coding sessions
+-   When working with multiple files
+-   Before starting complex tasks
+-   When Cline seems to lose context
+
+💡 **Tip**: Consider starting a fresh session when usage reaches 70-80% to maintain optimal performance.
+
+## Working with Context Files
+
+Context files help maintain understanding across sessions. They serve as documentation specifically designed to help AI assistants understand your project.
+
+#### Approaches to Context Files
+
+1. **Evergreen Project Context (i.e.** [**Memory Bank**](https://docs.cline.bot/improving-your-prompting-skills/custom-instructions-library/cline-memory-bank)**)**
+    - Living documentation that evolves with your project
+    - Updated as architecture and patterns emerge
+    - Example: The Memory Bank pattern maintains files like `techContext.md` and `systemPatterns.md`
+    - Useful for long-running projects and teams
+2. **Task-Specific Context (i.e.** [**Structured Approach**](https://cline.bot/blog/building-advanced-software-with-cline-a-structured-approach)**)**
+
+    - Created for specific implementation tasks
+    - Document requirements, constraints, and decisions
+    - Example:
+
+        ```markdown
+        # auth-system-implementation.md
+
+        ## Requirements
+
+        -   OAuth2 implementation
+        -   Support for Google and GitHub
+        -   Rate limiting on auth endpoints
+
+        ## Technical Decisions
+
+        -   Using Passport.js for provider integration
+        -   JWT for session management
+        -   Redis for rate limiting
+        ```
+
+3. **Knowledge Transfer Docs**
+    - Switch to plan mode and ask Cline to document everything you've accomplished so far, along with the remaining steps, in a markdown file.
+    - Copy the contents of the markdown file.
+    - Start a new task using that content as context.
+
+#### Using Context Files Effectively
+
+1. **Structure and Format**
+    - Use clear, consistent organization
+    - Include relevant examples
+    - Link related concepts
+    - Keep information focused
+2. **Maintenance**
+    - Update after significant changes
+    - Version control your context files
+    - Remove outdated information
+    - Document key decisions
+
+## Practical Tips
+
+1. **Starting New Projects**
+    - Let Cline explore the codebase
+    - Answer its questions about structure and patterns
+    - Consider setting up basic context files
+    - Document key design decisions
+2. **Ongoing Development**
+    - Update context files with significant changes
+    - Share relevant documentation
+    - Use Plan mode for complex discussions
+    - Start fresh sessions when needed
+3. **Team Projects**
+    - Share common context files (consider using [.clinerules](https://docs.cline.bot/improving-your-prompting-skills/prompting) files in project roots)
+    - Document architectural decisions
+    - Maintain consistent patterns
+    - Keep documentation current
+
+Remember: The goal is to help Cline maintain consistent understanding of your project across sessions.

+title: "Adding MCP Servers from GitHub"
+---
+
+This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough of how to use Cline to build an existing MCP server from a GitHub repository.
+
+## **Finding an MCP Server**
+
+There are multiple places online to find MCP servers:
+
+-   **Cline can automatically add MCP servers to its list, which you can then edit.** Cline can clone repositories directly from GitHub and build the servers for you.
+-   **GitHub:** Two of the most common places to find MCP servers on GitHub include:
+    -   [Official MCP servers repository](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers)
+    -   [Awesome-MCP servers repository](https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers)
+-   **Online directories:** Several websites list MCP servers including:
+
+    -   [mcpservers.org](https://mcpservers.org/)
+    -   [mcp.so](https://mcp.so/)
+    -   [glama.ai/mcp/servers](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers)
+
+    These directories allow users to sort the servers by various criteria such as downloads, date, stars, and use case. Each entry provides information such as features, tools, and configuration instructions.
+
+-   **PulseMCP:** This website has a blog post discussing how AI could use MCP servers to make websites obsolete. PulseMCP also includes an FAQ section about MCP servers: [https://www.pulsemcp.com/](https://www.pulsemcp.com/)
+
+## **Building with Cline**
+
+1. **Initiate the Process:** Provide Cline with the following information:
+    - **GitHub Repository URL:** The URL of the server's repository.
+    - **README.md Contents:** This is optional but helpful for Cline to understand the server's purpose and configuration. You can copy the README.md file from the GitHub repository.
+2. **Example Interaction with Cline:**
+
+    ```
+    User: "Cline, I want to add the MCP server for Brave browser control. Here's the GitHub link: @https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/brave-search Can you add it?"
+
+    Cline: "OK. Cloning the repository to the MCP directory. It needs to be built because it has a 'package.json' file. Should I run 'npm run build'?"
+
+    User: "Yes, build it."
+
+    Cline: "Build complete. This server needs a browser path. Where's your Brave browser executable?"
+
+    User: "It's in '/Applications/Brave Browser.app/Contents/MacOS/Brave Browser'."
+
+    Cline: "OK. I've updated the server config with that path and added it to 'cline_mcp_settings.json'. Anything else?"
+
+    User: "No, that's all. Let's test it."
+
+    Cline: "Great! Starting the MCP Inspector to test the server connection. After that, we can try controlling the browser from Cline."
+    ```
+
+3. **Cline's Actions:** Based on your instructions, Cline will perform the following:
+    - **Repository Cloning:** Cline will clone the repository to your local machine, usually in the directory specified in your configuration.
+    - **Tweaking:** You can guide Cline to modify the server's configuration. For instance:
+        - **User:** "This server requires an API key. Can you find where it should be added?"
+        - Cline may automatically update the `cline_mcp_settings.json` file or other relevant files based on your instructions.
+    - **Building the Server:** Cline will run the appropriate build command for the server, which is commonly `npm run build`.
+    - **Adding Server to Settings:** Cline will add the server's configuration to the `cline_mcp_settings.json` file.
+
+## **Testing and Troubleshooting**
+
+1. **Test the Server:** Once Cline finishes the build process, test the server to make sure it works as expected. Cline can assist you if you encounter any problems.
+2. **MCP Inspector:** You can use the MCP Inspector to test the server's connection and functionality.
+
+## **Best Practices**
+
+-   **Understand the Basics:** While Cline simplifies the process, it's beneficial to have a basic understanding of the server's code, the MCP protocol ([learn more](/mcp/mcp-overview)), and how to configure the server. This allows for more effective troubleshooting and customization.
+-   **Clear Instructions:** Provide clear and specific instructions to Cline throughout the process.
+-   **Testing:** Thoroughly test the server after installation and configuration to ensure it functions correctly.
+-   **Version Control:** Use a version control system (like Git) to track changes to the server's code.
+-   **Stay Updated:** Keep your MCP servers updated to benefit from the latest features and security patches.

+			"args": ["/path/to/server.py"],
+			"env": {
+				"API_KEY": "your_api_key"
+			},
+			"alwaysAllow": ["tool1", "tool2"],
+			"disabled": false
+		}
+	}
+}
+```
+
+_Example of MCP Server config in Cline (STDIO Transport)_
+
+---
+
+## Understanding Transport Types
+
+MCP supports two transport types for server communication:
+
+### STDIO Transport
+
+Used for local servers running on your machine:
+
+-   Communicates via standard input/output streams
+-   Lower latency (no network overhead)
+-   Better security (no network exposure)
+-   Simpler setup (no HTTP server needed)
+-   Runs as a child process on your machine
+
+For more in-depth information about how STDIO transport works, see [MCP Transport Mechanisms](/mcp/mcp-transport-mechanisms).
+
+STDIO configuration example:
+
+```json
+{
+	"mcpServers": {
+		"local-server": {
+			"command": "node",
+			"args": ["/path/to/server.js"],
+			"env": {
+				"API_KEY": "your_api_key"
+			},
+			"alwaysAllow": ["tool1", "tool2"],
+			"disabled": false
+		}
+	}
+}
+```
+
+### SSE Transport
+
+Used for remote servers accessed over HTTP/HTTPS:
+
+-   Communicates via Server-Sent Events protocol
+-   Can be hosted on a different machine
+-   Supports multiple client connections
+-   Requires network access
+-   Allows centralized deployment and management
+
+For more in-depth information about how SSE transport works, see [MCP Transport Mechanisms](/mcp/mcp-transport-mechanisms).
+
+SSE configuration example:
+
+```json
+{
+	"mcpServers": {
+		"remote-server": {
+			"url": "https://your-server-url.com/mcp",
+			"headers": {
+				"Authorization": "Bearer your-token"
+			},
+			"alwaysAllow": ["tool3"],
+			"disabled": false
+		}
+	}
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Using MCP Tools in Your Workflow
+
+After configuring an MCP server, Cline will automatically detect available tools and resources. To use them:
+
+1. Type your request in Cline's conversation window
+2. Cline will identify when an MCP tool can help with your task
+3. Approve the tool use when prompted (or use auto-approval)
+
+Example: "Analyze the performance of my API" might use an MCP tool that tests API endpoints.
+
+## Troubleshooting MCP Servers
+
+Common issues and solutions:
+
+-   **Server Not Responding:** Check if the server process is running and verify network connectivity
+-   **Permission Errors:** Ensure proper API keys and credentials are configured in your `mcp_settings.json` file
+-   **Tool Not Available:** Confirm the server is properly implementing the tool and it's not disabled in settings
+-   **Slow Performance:** Try adjusting the network timeout value for the specific MCP server

+
+> **Note**: When connecting to a remote server, ensure you trust the source, as MCP servers can execute code in your environment.
+
+### Remote Server Discovery
+
+If you're looking for MCP servers to connect to, several third-party marketplaces provide directories of available servers with various capabilities.
+
+> **Warning**: The following third-party marketplaces are listed for informational purposes only. Cline does not endorse, verify, or take responsibility for any servers listed on these marketplaces. These servers are cloud-hosted services that process your requests and may have access to data you share with them. Always review privacy policies and terms of use before connecting to third-party services.
+
+#### Composio MCP Integration
+
+[Composio's MCP Marketplace](https://mcp.composio.dev/) provides access to a wide range of third-party servers that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP). These servers expose APIs for services like GitHub, Notion, Slack, and others. Each server includes configuration instructions and built-in authentication support (e.g. OAuth or API keys). To connect, locate the desired service in the marketplace and follow the integration steps provided there.
+
+#### Connecting via Smithery
+
+Smithery is a third-party MCP server marketplace that allows users to discover and connect to a variety of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. If you're using an MCP-compatible client (such as Cursor, Claude Desktop, or Cline), you can browse available servers and integrate them directly into your workflow.
+
+To explore available options, visit the Smithery marketplace: [https://smithery.ai](https://smithery.ai)

+description: "Learn how to use the MCP Marketplace to discover, install, and configure MCP servers that enhance Cline's capabilities with additional tools and resources."
+---
+
+## What's an MCP Server?
+
+MCP servers are specialized extensions that enhance Cline's capabilities. They enable Cline to perform additional tasks like fetching web pages, processing images, accessing APIs, and much more.
+
+## MCP Marketplace Walkthrough
+
+The MCP Marketplace provides a one-click installation experience for hundreds of MCP servers across various categories.
+
+### 1. Access the Marketplace
+
+-   In Cline, click the "Extensions" button (square icon) in the top toolbar
+-   The MCP marketplace will open, showing available servers by category
+
+### 2. Browse and Select a Server
+

+-   Click on a server to see details about its capabilities and requirements
+
+### 3. Install and Configure
+
+-   Click the install button for your chosen server
+-   If the server requires an API key (most do), Cline will guide you through:
+    -   Where to get the API key
+    -   How to enter it securely
+-   The server will be added to your MCP settings automatically
+
+### 4. Verify Installation
+
+-   Cline will show confirmation when installation is complete
+-   Check the server status in Cline's MCP settings UI
+
+### 5. Using Your New Server
+
+-   After successful installation, Cline will automatically integrate the server's capabilities

+-   Simply ask Cline to use the capabilities of your new server
+-   Example: "Search the web for recent React updates using Perplexity"
+
+**Corporate Users:** If you're using Cline in a corporate environment, ensure you have permission to install third-party MCP servers according to your organization's security policies.
+
+## What Happens Behind the Scenes
+
+When you install an MCP server, several things happen automatically:
+
+### 1. Installation Process
+
+-   The server code is cloned/installed to `/Users/<username>/Documents/Cline/MCP/`
+-   Dependencies are installed
+-   The server is built (TypeScript/JavaScript compilation or Python package installation)
+
+### 2. Configuration
+
+-   The MCP settings file is updated with your server configuration
+-   This file is located at: `/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json`
+-   Environment variables (like API keys) are securely stored
+-   The server path is registered
+
+### 3. Server Launch
+
+-   Cline detects the configuration change
+-   Cline launches your server as a separate process
+-   Communication is established via stdio or HTTP
+
+### 4. Integration with Cline
+
+-   Your server's capabilities are added to Cline's system prompt
+-   Tools become available via `use_mcp_tool` commands
+-   Resources become available via `access_mcp_resource` commands
+-   Cline can now use these capabilities when prompted by the user
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### System Requirements
+
+Make sure your system meets these requirements:
+
+-   **Node.js 18.x or newer**
+    -   Check by running: `node --version`
+    -   Install from: https://nodejs.org/
+    -   Required for JavaScript/TypeScript implementations
+-   **Python 3.10 or newer**
+    -   Check by running: `python --version`
+    -   Install from: https://python.org/
+    -   Note: Some specialized implementations may require Python 3.11+
+-   **UV Package Manager**
+    -   Modern Python package manager for dependency isolation
+    -   Install using:
+        ```bash
+        curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
+        ```
+        Or: `pip install uv`
+    -   Verify with: `uv --version`
+
+If any of these commands fail or show older versions, please install/update before continuing!
+
+### Common Installation Issues
+
+-   Ensure your internet connection is stable
+-   Check that you have the necessary permissions to install new software
+-   Verify that the API key was entered correctly (if required)
+-   Check the server status in the MCP settings UI for any error messages
+
+### How to Remove an MCP Server
+
+To completely remove a faulty MCP server:
+
+1. Open the MCP settings file: `/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json`
+2. Delete the entire entry for your server from the `mcpServers` object
+3. Save the file
+4. Restart Cline
+
+### I'm Still Getting an Error
+
+If you're getting an error when using an MCP server, you can try the following:
+
+-   Check the MCP settings file for errors
+-   Use a Claude Sonnet model for installation
+-   Verify that paths to your server's files are correct
+-   Ensure all required environment variables are set
+-   Check if another process is using the same port (for HTTP-based servers)
+-   Try removing and reinstalling the server (remove from both the `cline_mcp_settings.json` file and the `/Users/<username>/Documents/Cline/MCP/` directory)
+-   Use a terminal and run the command with its arguments directly. This will allow you to see the same errors that Cline is seeing
+
+## MCP Server Rules
+
+Cline is already aware of your active MCP servers and what they are for, but when you have a lot of MCP servers enabled, it can be useful to define when to use each server.
+
+Utilize a `.clinerules` file or custom instructions to support intelligent MCP server activation through keyword-based triggers, making Cline's tool selection more intuitive and context-aware.
+
+### How MCP Rules Work
+
+MCP Rules group your connected MCP servers into functional categories and define trigger keywords that activate them automatically when detected in your conversations with Cline.
+
+```json
+{
+	"mcpRules": {
+		"webInteraction": {
+			"servers": ["firecrawl-mcp-server", "fetch-mcp"],
+			"triggers": ["web", "scrape", "browse", "website"],
+			"description": "Tools for web browsing and scraping"
+		}
+	}
+}
+```
+
+### Configuration Structure
+
+1. **Categories**: Group related servers (e.g., "webInteraction", "mediaAndDesign")
+2. **Servers**: List server names in each category
+3. **Triggers**: Keywords that activate these servers
+4. **Description**: Human-readable category explanation
+
+### Benefits of MCP Rules
+
+-   **Contextual Tool Selection**: Cline selects appropriate tools based on conversation context
+-   **Reduced Friction**: No need to manually specify which tool to use
+-   **Organized Capabilities**: Logically group related tools and servers
+-   **Prioritization**: Handle ambiguous cases with explicit priority ordering
+
+### Example Usage
+
+When you write "Can you scrape this website?", Cline detects "scrape" and "website" as triggers, automatically selecting web-related MCP servers.
+
+For finance tasks like "What's Apple's stock price?", keywords like "stock" and "price" trigger finance-related servers.
+
+### Quick Start Template
+
+```json
+{
+	"mcpRules": {
+		"category1": {
+			"servers": ["server-name-1", "server-name-2"],
+			"triggers": ["keyword1", "keyword2", "phrase1", "phrase2"],
+			"description": "Description of what these tools do"

+
+## Overview
+
+Model Context Protocol is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications; it provides a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools. MCP servers act as intermediaries between large language models (LLMs), such as Claude, and external tools or data sources. They are small programs that expose functionalities to LLMs, enabling them to interact with the outside world through the MCP. An MCP server is essentially like an API that an LLM can use.

+		alt="MCP diagram showing how MCP servers connect LLMs to external tools and data sources"
+	/>
+</Frame>
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+MCP servers define a set of "**tools,**" which are functions the LLM can execute. These tools offer a wide range of capabilities.
+
+**Here's how MCP works:**
+
+-   **MCP hosts** discover the capabilities of connected servers and load their tools, prompts, and resources.
+-   **Resources** provide consistent access to read-only data, akin to file paths or database queries.
+-   **Security** is ensured as servers isolate credentials and sensitive data. Interactions require explicit user approval.
+
+## Use Cases
+
+The potential of MCP servers is vast. They can be used for a variety of purposes.
+
+**Here are some concrete examples of how MCP servers can be used:**
+
+-   **Web Services and API Integration:**
+    -   Monitor GitHub repositories for new issues
+    -   Post updates to Twitter based on specific triggers
+    -   Retrieve real-time weather data for location-based services
+-   **Browser Automation:**
+    -   Automate web application testing
+    -   Scrape e-commerce sites for price comparisons
+    -   Generate screenshots for website monitoring
+-   **Database Queries:**
+    -   Generate weekly sales reports
+    -   Analyze customer behavior patterns
+    -   Create real-time dashboards for business metrics
+-   **Project and Task Management:**
+    -   Automate Jira ticket creation based on code commits
+    -   Generate weekly progress reports
+    -   Create task dependencies based on project requirements
+-   **Codebase Documentation:**
+    -   Generate API documentation from code comments
+    -   Create architecture diagrams from code structure
+    -   Maintain up-to-date README files
+
+## Getting Started
+
+Cline does not come with any pre-installed MCP servers. You'll need to find and install them separately.
+
+**Choose the right approach for your needs:**
+
+-   **Community Repositories:** Check for community-maintained lists of MCP servers on GitHub. See [Adding MCP Servers from Github](/mcp/adding-mcp-servers-from-github)

+
+## What Are MCP Servers?
+
+Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers extend AI assistants like Cline by giving them the ability to:
+
+-   Access external APIs and services
+-   Retrieve real-time data
+-   Control applications and local systems
+-   Perform actions beyond what text prompts alone can achieve
+
+Without MCP, AI assistants are powerful but isolated. With MCP, they gain the ability to interact with virtually any digital system.
+
+## The Development Protocol
+
+The heart of effective MCP server development is following a structured protocol. This protocol is implemented through a `.clinerules` file that lives at the **root** of your MCP working directory (/Users/your-name/Documents/Cline/MCP).
+
+### Using `.clinerules` Files
+
+A `.clinerules` file is a special configuration that Cline reads automatically when working in the directory where it's placed. These files:
+
+-   Configure Cline's behavior and enforce best practices
+-   Switch Cline into a specialized MCP development mode
+-   Provide a step-by-step protocol for building servers
+-   Implement safety measures like preventing premature completion
+-   Guide you through planning, implementation, and testing phases
+
+Here's the complete MCP Server Development Protocol that should be placed in your `.clinerules` file:
+
+````markdown
+# MCP Server Development Protocol
+
+⚠️ CRITICAL: DO NOT USE attempt_completion BEFORE TESTING ⚠️
+
+## Step 1: Planning (PLAN MODE)
+
+-   What problem does this tool solve?
+-   What API/service will it use?
+-   What are the authentication requirements?
+    □ Standard API key
+    □ OAuth (requires separate setup script)
+    □ Other credentials
+
+## Step 2: Implementation (ACT MODE)
+
+1. Bootstrap
+
+    - For web services, JavaScript integration, or Node.js environments:
+        ```bash
+        npx @modelcontextprotocol/create-server my-server
+        cd my-server
+        npm install
+        ```
+    - For data science, ML workflows, or Python environments:
+        ```bash
+        pip install mcp
+        # Or with uv (recommended)
+        uv add "mcp[cli]"
+        ```
+
+2. Core Implementation
+
+    - Use MCP SDK
+    - Implement comprehensive logging
+        - TypeScript (for web/JS projects):
+            ```typescript
+            console.error("[Setup] Initializing server...")
+            console.error("[API] Request to endpoint:", endpoint)
+            console.error("[Error] Failed with:", error)
+            ```
+        - Python (for data science/ML projects):
+            ```python
+            import logging
+            logging.error('[Setup] Initializing server...')
+            logging.error(f'[API] Request to endpoint: {endpoint}')
+            logging.error(f'[Error] Failed with: {str(error)}')
+            ```
+    - Add type definitions
+    - Handle errors with context
+    - Implement rate limiting if needed
+
+3. Configuration
+
+    - Get credentials from user if needed
+    - Add to MCP settings:
+
+        - For TypeScript projects:
+            ```json
+            {
+            	"mcpServers": {
+            		"my-server": {
+            			"command": "node",
+            			"args": ["path/to/build/index.js"],
+            			"env": {
+            				"API_KEY": "key"
+            			},
+            			"disabled": false,
+            			"autoApprove": []
+            		}
+            	}
+            }
+            ```
+        - For Python projects:
+
+            ```bash
+            # Directly with command line
+            mcp install server.py -v API_KEY=key
+
+            # Or in settings.json
+            {
+              "mcpServers": {
+                "my-server": {
+                  "command": "python",
+                  "args": ["server.py"],
+                  "env": {
+                    "API_KEY": "key"
+                  },
+                  "disabled": false,
+                  "autoApprove": []
+                }
+              }
+            }
+            ```
+
+## Step 3: Testing (BLOCKER ⛔️)
+
+<thinking>
+BEFORE using attempt_completion, I MUST verify:
+□ Have I tested EVERY tool?
+□ Have I confirmed success from the user for each test?
+□ Have I documented the test results?
+
+If ANY answer is "no", I MUST NOT use attempt_completion.
+</thinking>
+
+1. Test Each Tool (REQUIRED)
+   □ Test each tool with valid inputs
+   □ Verify output format is correct
+   ⚠️ DO NOT PROCEED UNTIL ALL TOOLS TESTED
+
+## Step 4: Completion
+
+❗ STOP AND VERIFY:
+□ Every tool has been tested with valid inputs
+□ Output format is correct for each tool
+
+Only after ALL tools have been tested can attempt_completion be used.
+
+## Key Requirements
+
+-   ✓ Must use MCP SDK
+-   ✓ Must have comprehensive logging
+-   ✓ Must test each tool individually
+-   ✓ Must handle errors gracefully
+-   ⛔️ NEVER skip testing before completion
+````
+
+When this `.clinerules` file is present in your working directory, Cline will:
+
+1. Start in **PLAN MODE** to design your server before implementation
+2. Enforce proper implementation patterns in **ACT MODE**
+3. Require testing of all tools before allowing completion
+4. Guide you through the entire development lifecycle
+
+## Getting Started
+
+Creating an MCP server requires just a few simple steps to get started:
+
+### 1. Create a `.clinerules` file (🚨 IMPORTANT)
+
+First, add a `.clinerules` file to the root of your MCP working directory using the protocol above. This file configures Cline to use the MCP development protocol when working in this folder.
+
+### 2. Start a Chat with a Clear Description
+
+Begin your Cline chat by clearly describing what you want to build. Be specific about:
+
+-   The purpose of your MCP server
+-   Which API or service you want to integrate with
+-   Any specific tools or features you need
+
+For example:
+
+```plaintext
+I want to build an MCP server for the AlphaAdvantage financial API.
+It should allow me to get real-time stock data, perform technical
+analysis, and retrieve company financial information.
+```
+
+### 3. Work Through the Protocol
+
+Cline will automatically start in PLAN MODE, guiding you through the planning process:
+
+-   Discussing the problem scope
+-   Reviewing API documentation
+-   Planning authentication methods
+-   Designing tool interfaces
+
+When ready, switch to ACT MODE using the toggle at the bottom of the chat to begin implementation.
+
+### 4. Provide API Documentation Early
+
+One of the most effective ways to help Cline build your MCP server is to share official API documentation right at the start:
+
+```plaintext
+Here's the API documentation for the service:
+[Paste API documentation here]
+```
+
+Providing comprehensive API details (endpoints, authentication, data structures) significantly improves Cline's ability to implement an effective MCP server.
+
+## Understanding the Two Modes
+
+### PLAN MODE
+
+In this collaborative phase, you work with Cline to design your MCP server:
+
+-   Define the problem scope
+-   Choose appropriate APIs
+-   Plan authentication methods
+-   Design the tool interfaces
+-   Determine data formats
+
+### ACT MODE
+
+Once planning is complete, Cline helps implement the server:
+
+-   Set up the project structure
+-   Write the implementation code
+-   Configure settings
+-   Test each component thoroughly
+-   Finalize documentation
+
+## Case Study: AlphaAdvantage Stock Analysis Server
+
+Let's walk through the development process of our AlphaAdvantage MCP server, which provides stock data analysis and reporting capabilities.
+
+### Planning Phase
+
+<Frame>
+	<img
+		src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/planning-phase.gif"
+		alt="Planning phase demonstration"
+	/>
+</Frame>
+
+During the planning phase, we:
+
+1. **Defined the problem**: Users need access to financial data, stock analysis, and market insights directly through their AI assistant
+2. **Selected the API**: AlphaAdvantage API for financial market data
+    - Standard API key authentication
+    - Rate limits of 5 requests per minute (free tier)
+    - Various endpoints for different financial data types
+3. **Designed the tools needed**:
+    - Stock overview information (current price, company details)
+    - Technical analysis with indicators (RSI, MACD, etc.)
+    - Fundamental analysis (financial statements, ratios)
+    - Earnings report data
+    - News and sentiment analysis
+4. **Planned data formatting**:
+    - Clean, well-formatted markdown output
+    - Tables for structured data
+    - Visual indicators (↑/↓) for trends
+    - Proper formatting of financial numbers
+
+### Implementation
+
+<Frame>
+	<img
+		src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/building-mcp-plugin.gif"
+		alt="Building MCP plugin demonstration"
+	/>
+</Frame>
+
+We began by bootstrapping the project:
+
+```bash
+npx @modelcontextprotocol/create-server alphaadvantage-mcp
+cd alphaadvantage-mcp
+npm install axios node-cache
+```
+
+Next, we structured our project with:
+
+```plaintext
+src/
+  ├── api/
+  │   └── alphaAdvantageClient.ts  # API client with rate limiting & caching
+  ├── formatters/
+  │   └── markdownFormatter.ts     # Output formatters for clean markdown
+  └── index.ts                     # Main MCP server implementation
+```
+
+#### API Client Implementation
+
+The API client implementation included:
+
+-   **Rate limiting**: Enforcing the 5 requests per minute limit
+-   **Caching**: Reducing API calls with strategic caching
+-   **Error handling**: Robust error detection and reporting
+-   **Typed interfaces**: Clear TypeScript types for all data
+
+Key implementation details:
+
+```typescript
+/**
+ * Manage rate limiting based on free tier (5 calls per minute)
+ */
+private async enforceRateLimit() {
+  if (this.requestsThisMinute >= 5) {
+    console.error("[Rate Limit] Rate limit reached. Waiting for next minute...");
+    return new Promise<void>((resolve) => {
+      const remainingMs = 60 * 1000 - (Date.now() % (60 * 1000));
+      setTimeout(resolve, remainingMs + 100); // Add 100ms buffer
+    });
+  }
+
+  this.requestsThisMinute++;
+  return Promise.resolve();
+}
+```
+
+#### Markdown Formatting
+
+We implemented formatters to display financial data beautifully:
+
+```typescript
+/**
+ * Format company overview into markdown
+ */
+export function formatStockOverview(overviewData: any, quoteData: any): string {
+	// Extract data
+	const overview = overviewData
+	const quote = quoteData["Global Quote"]
+
+	// Calculate price change
+	const currentPrice = parseFloat(quote["05. price"] || "0")
+	const priceChange = parseFloat(quote["09. change"] || "0")
+	const changePercent = parseFloat(quote["10. change percent"]?.replace("%", "") || "0")
+
+	// Format markdown
+	let markdown = `# ${overview.Symbol} (${overview.Name}) - ${formatCurrency(currentPrice)} ${addTrendIndicator(priceChange)}${changePercent > 0 ? "+" : ""}${changePercent.toFixed(2)}%\n\n`
+
+	// Add more details...
+
+	return markdown
+}
+```
+
+#### Tool Implementation
+
+We defined five tools with clear interfaces:
+
+```typescript
+server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => {
+	console.error("[Setup] Listing available tools")
+
+	return {
+		tools: [
+			{
+				name: "get_stock_overview",
+				description: "Get basic company info and current quote for a stock symbol",
+				inputSchema: {
+					type: "object",
+					properties: {
+						symbol: {
+							type: "string",
+							description: "Stock symbol (e.g., 'AAPL')",
+						},
+						market: {
+							type: "string",
+							description: "Optional market (e.g., 'US')",
+							default: "US",
+						},
+					},
+					required: ["symbol"],
+				},
+			},
+			// Additional tools defined here...
+		],
+	}
+})
+```
+
+Each tool's handler included:
+
+-   Input validation
+-   API client calls with error handling
+-   Markdown formatting of responses
+-   Comprehensive logging
+
+### Testing Phase
+
+This critical phase involved systematically testing each tool:
+
+1. First, we configured the MCP server in the settings:
+
+```json
+{
+	"mcpServers": {
+		"alphaadvantage-mcp": {
+			"command": "node",
+			"args": ["/path/to/alphaadvantage-mcp/build/index.js"],
+			"env": {
+				"ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
+			},
+			"disabled": false,
+			"autoApprove": []
+		}
+	}
+}
+```
+
+2. Then we tested each tool individually:
+
+-   **get_stock_overview**: Retrieved AAPL stock overview information
+
+    ```markdown
+    # AAPL (Apple Inc) - $241.84 ↑+1.91%
+
+    **Sector:** TECHNOLOGY
+    **Industry:** ELECTRONIC COMPUTERS
+    **Market Cap:** 3.63T
+    **P/E Ratio:** 38.26
+    ...
+    ```
+
+-   **get_technical_analysis**: Obtained price action and RSI data
+
+    ```markdown
+    # Technical Analysis: AAPL
+
+    ## Daily Price Action
+
+    Current Price: $241.84 (↑$4.54, +1.91%)
+
+    ### Recent Daily Prices
+
+    | Date       | Open    | High    | Low     | Close   | Volume |
+    | ---------- | ------- | ------- | ------- | ------- | ------ |
+    | 2025-02-28 | $236.95 | $242.09 | $230.20 | $241.84 | 56.83M |
+
+    ...
+    ```
+
+-   **get_earnings_report**: Retrieved MSFT earnings history and formatted report
+
+    ```markdown
+    # Earnings Report: MSFT (Microsoft Corporation)
+
+    **Sector:** TECHNOLOGY
+    **Industry:** SERVICES-PREPACKAGED SOFTWARE
+    **Current EPS:** $12.43
+
+    ## Recent Quarterly Earnings
+
+    | Quarter    | Date       | EPS Estimate | EPS Actual | Surprise % |
+    | ---------- | ---------- | ------------ | ---------- | ---------- |
+    | 2024-12-31 | 2025-01-29 | $3.11        | $3.23      | ↑4.01%     |
+
+    ...
+    ```
+
+### Challenges and Solutions
+
+During development, we encountered several challenges:
+
+1. **API Rate Limiting**:
+    - **Challenge**: Free tier limited to 5 calls per minute
+    - **Solution**: Implemented queuing, enforced rate limits, and added comprehensive caching
+2. **Data Formatting**:
+    - **Challenge**: Raw API data not user-friendly
+    - **Solution**: Created formatting utilities for consistent display of financial data
+3. **Timeout Issues**:
+    - **Challenge**: Complex tools making multiple API calls could timeout
+    - **Solution**: Suggested breaking complex tools into smaller pieces, optimizing caching
+
+### Lessons Learned
+
+Our AlphaAdvantage implementation taught us several key lessons:
+
+1. **Plan for API Limits**: Understand and design around API rate limits from the beginning
+2. **Cache Strategically**: Identify high-value caching opportunities to improve performance
+3. **Format for Readability**: Invest in good data formatting for improved user experience
+4. **Test Every Path**: Test all tools individually before completion
+5. **Handle API Complexity**: For APIs requiring multiple calls, design tools with simpler scopes
+
+## Core Implementation Best Practices
+
+### Comprehensive Logging
+
+Effective logging is essential for debugging MCP servers:
+
+```typescript
+// Start-up logging
+console.error("[Setup] Initializing AlphaAdvantage MCP server...")
+
+// API request logging
+console.error(`[API] Getting stock overview for ${symbol}`)
+
+// Error handling with context
+console.error(`[Error] Tool execution failed: ${error.message}`)
+
+// Cache operations
+console.error(`[Cache] Using cached data for: ${cacheKey}`)
+```
+
+### Strong Typing
+
+Type definitions prevent errors and improve maintainability:
+
+```typescript
+export interface AlphaAdvantageConfig {
+	apiKey: string
+	cacheTTL?: Partial<typeof DEFAULT_CACHE_TTL>
+	baseURL?: string
+}
+
+/**
+ * Validate that a stock symbol is provided and looks valid
+ */
+function validateSymbol(symbol: unknown): asserts symbol is string {
+	if (typeof symbol !== "string" || symbol.trim() === "") {
+		throw new McpError(ErrorCode.InvalidParams, "A valid stock symbol is required")
+	}
+
+	// Basic symbol validation (letters, numbers, dots)
+	const symbolRegex = /^[A-Za-z0-9.]+$/
+	if (!symbolRegex.test(symbol)) {
+		throw new McpError(ErrorCode.InvalidParams, `Invalid stock symbol: ${symbol}`)
+	}
+}
+```
+
+### Intelligent Caching
+
+Reduce API calls and improve performance:
+
+```typescript
+// Default cache TTL in seconds
+const DEFAULT_CACHE_TTL = {
+	STOCK_OVERVIEW: 60 * 60, // 1 hour
+	TECHNICAL_ANALYSIS: 60 * 30, // 30 minutes
+	FUNDAMENTAL_ANALYSIS: 60 * 60 * 24, // 24 hours
+	EARNINGS_REPORT: 60 * 60 * 24, // 24 hours
+	NEWS: 60 * 15, // 15 minutes
+}
+
+// Check cache first
+const cachedData = this.cache.get<T>(cacheKey)
+if (cachedData) {
+	console.error(`[Cache] Using cached data for: ${cacheKey}`)
+	return cachedData
+}
+
+// Cache successful responses
+this.cache.set(cacheKey, response.data, cacheTTL)
+```
+
+### Graceful Error Handling
+
+Implement robust error handling that maintains a good user experience:
+
+```typescript
+try {
+	switch (request.params.name) {
+		case "get_stock_overview": {
+			// Implementation...
+		}
+
+		// Other cases...
+
+		default:
+			throw new McpError(ErrorCode.MethodNotFound, `Unknown tool: ${request.params.name}`)
+	}
+} catch (error) {
+	console.error(`[Error] Tool execution failed: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`)
+
+	if (error instanceof McpError) {
+		throw error
+	}
+
+	return {
+		content: [
+			{
+				type: "text",
+				text: `Error: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`,
+			},
+		],
+		isError: true,
+	}
+}
+```
+
+## MCP Resources
+
+Resources let your MCP servers expose data to Cline without executing code. They're perfect for providing context like files, API responses, or database records that Cline can reference during conversations.
+
+### Adding Resources to Your MCP Server
+
+1. **Define the resources** your server will expose:
+
+```typescript
+server.setRequestHandler(ListResourcesRequestSchema, async () => {
+	return {
+		resources: [
+			{
+				uri: "file:///project/readme.md",
+				name: "Project README",
+				mimeType: "text/markdown",
+			},
+		],
+	}
+})
+```
+
+2. **Implement read handlers** to deliver the content:
+
+```typescript
+server.setRequestHandler(ReadResourceRequestSchema, async (request) => {
+	if (request.params.uri === "file:///project/readme.md") {
+		const content = await fs.promises.readFile("/path/to/readme.md", "utf-8")
+		return {
+			contents: [
+				{
+					uri: request.params.uri,
+					mimeType: "text/markdown",
+					text: content,
+				},
+			],
+		}
+	}
+
+	throw new Error("Resource not found")
+})
+```
+
+Resources make your MCP servers more context-aware, allowing Cline to access specific information without requiring you to copy/paste. For more information, refer to the [official documentation](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/resources).
+
+## Common Challenges and Solutions
+
+### API Authentication Complexities
+
+**Challenge**: APIs often have different authentication methods.
+
+**Solution**:
+
+-   For API keys, use environment variables in the MCP configuration
+-   For OAuth, create a separate script to obtain refresh tokens
+-   Store sensitive tokens securely
+
+```typescript
+// Authenticate using API key from environment
+const API_KEY = process.env.ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY
+if (!API_KEY) {
+	console.error("[Error] Missing ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY environment variable")
+	process.exit(1)
+}
+
+// Initialize API client
+const apiClient = new AlphaAdvantageClient({
+	apiKey: API_KEY,
+})
+```
+
+### Missing or Limited API Features
+
+**Challenge**: APIs may not provide all the functionality you need.
+
+**Solution**:
+
+-   Implement fallbacks using available endpoints
+-   Create simulated functionality where necessary
+-   Transform API data to match your needs
+
+### API Rate Limiting
+
+**Challenge**: Most APIs have rate limits that can cause failures.
+
+**Solution**:
+
+-   Implement proper rate limiting
+-   Add intelligent caching
+-   Provide graceful degradation
+-   Add transparent errors about rate limits
+
+```typescript
+if (this.requestsThisMinute >= 5) {
+	console.error("[Rate Limit] Rate limit reached. Waiting for next minute...")
+	return new Promise<void>((resolve) => {
+		const remainingMs = 60 * 1000 - (Date.now() % (60 * 1000))
+		setTimeout(resolve, remainingMs + 100) // Add 100ms buffer
+	})
+}
+```

+description: "Learn about the two primary transport mechanisms for communication between Cline and MCP servers: Standard Input/Output (STDIO) and Server-Sent Events (SSE). Each has distinct characteristics, advantages, and use cases."
+---
+
+Model Context Protocol (MCP) supports two primary transport mechanisms for communication between Cline and MCP servers: Standard Input/Output (STDIO) and Server-Sent Events (SSE). Each has distinct characteristics, advantages, and use cases.
+
+## STDIO Transport
+
+STDIO transport runs locally on your machine and communicates via standard input/output streams.
+
+### How STDIO Transport Works
+
+1. The client (Cline) spawns an MCP server as a child process
+2. Communication happens through process streams: client writes to server's STDIN, server responds to STDOUT
+3. Each message is delimited by a newline character
+4. Messages are formatted as JSON-RPC 2.0
+
+```plaintext
+Client                    Server
+  |                         |
+  |<---- JSON message ----->| (via STDIN)
+  |                         | (processes request)
+  |<---- JSON message ------| (via STDOUT)
+  |                         |
+```
+
+### STDIO Characteristics
+
+-   **Locality**: Runs on the same machine as Cline
+-   **Performance**: Very low latency and overhead (no network stack involved)
+-   **Simplicity**: Direct process communication without network configuration
+-   **Relationship**: One-to-one relationship between client and server
+-   **Security**: Inherently more secure as no network exposure
+
+### When to Use STDIO
+
+STDIO transport is ideal for:
+
+-   Local integrations and tools running on the same machine
+-   Security-sensitive operations
+-   Low-latency requirements
+-   Single-client scenarios (one Cline instance per server)
+-   Command-line tools or IDE extensions
+
+### STDIO Implementation Example
+
+```typescript
+import { Server } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/index.js"
+import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js"
+
+const server = new Server({ name: "local-server", version: "1.0.0" })
+// Register tools...
+
+// Use STDIO transport
+const transport = new StdioServerTransport(server)
+transport.listen()
+```
+
+## SSE Transport
+
+Server-Sent Events (SSE) transport runs on a remote server and communicates over HTTP/HTTPS.
+
+### How SSE Transport Works
+
+1. The client (Cline) connects to the server's SSE endpoint via HTTP GET request
+2. This establishes a persistent connection where the server can push events to the client
+3. For client-to-server communication, the client makes HTTP POST requests to a separate endpoint
+4. Communication happens over two channels:
+    - Event Stream (GET): Server-to-client updates
+    - Message Endpoint (POST): Client-to-server requests
+
+```plaintext
+Client                             Server
+  |                                  |
+  |---- HTTP GET /events ----------->| (establish SSE connection)
+  |<---- SSE event stream -----------| (persistent connection)
+  |                                  |
+  |---- HTTP POST /message --------->| (client request)
+  |<---- SSE event with response ----| (server response)
+  |                                  |
+```
+
+### SSE Characteristics
+
+-   **Remote Access**: Can be hosted on a different machine from your Cline instance
+-   **Scalability**: Can handle multiple client connections concurrently
+-   **Protocol**: Works over standard HTTP (no special protocols needed)
+-   **Persistence**: Maintains a persistent connection for server-to-client messages
+-   **Authentication**: Can use standard HTTP authentication mechanisms
+
+### When to Use SSE
+
+SSE transport is better for:
+
+-   Remote access across networks
+-   Multi-client scenarios
+-   Public services
+-   Centralized tools that many users need to access
+-   Integration with web services
+
+### SSE Implementation Example
+
+```typescript
+import { Server } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/index.js"
+import { SSEServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/sse.js"
+import express from "express"
+
+const app = express()
+const server = new Server({ name: "remote-server", version: "1.0.0" })
+// Register tools...
+
+// Use SSE transport
+const transport = new SSEServerTransport(server)
+app.use("/mcp", transport.requestHandler())
+app.listen(3000, () => {
+	console.log("MCP server listening on port 3000")
+})
+```
+
+## Local vs. Hosted: Deployment Aspects
+
+The choice between STDIO and SSE transports directly impacts how you'll deploy and manage your MCP servers.
+
+### STDIO: Local Deployment Model
+
+STDIO servers run locally on the same machine as Cline, which has several important implications:
+
+-   **Installation**: The server executable must be installed on each user's machine
+-   **Distribution**: You need to provide installation packages for different operating systems
+-   **Updates**: Each instance must be updated separately
+-   **Resources**: Uses the local machine's CPU, memory, and disk
+-   **Access Control**: Relies on the local machine's filesystem permissions
+-   **Integration**: Easy integration with local system resources (files, processes)
+-   **Execution**: Starts and stops with Cline (child process lifecycle)
+-   **Dependencies**: Any dependencies must be installed on the user's machine
+
+#### Practical Example
+
+A local file search tool using STDIO would:
+
+-   Run on the user's machine
+-   Have direct access to the local filesystem
+-   Start when needed by Cline
+-   Not require network configuration
+-   Need to be installed alongside Cline or via a package manager
+
+### SSE: Hosted Deployment Model
+
+SSE servers can be deployed to remote servers and accessed over the network:
+
+-   **Installation**: Installed once on a server, accessed by many users
+-   **Distribution**: Single deployment serves multiple clients
+-   **Updates**: Centralized updates affect all users immediately
+-   **Resources**: Uses server resources, not local machine resources
+-   **Access Control**: Managed through authentication and authorization systems
+-   **Integration**: More complex integration with user-specific resources
+-   **Execution**: Runs as an independent service (often continuously)
+-   **Dependencies**: Managed on the server, not on user machines
+
+#### Practical Example
+
+A database query tool using SSE would:
+
+-   Run on a central server
+-   Connect to databases with server-side credentials
+-   Be continuously available for multiple users
+-   Require proper network security configuration
+-   Be deployed using container or cloud technologies
+
+### Hybrid Approaches
+
+Some scenarios benefit from a hybrid approach:
+
+1. **STDIO with Network Access**: A local STDIO server that acts as a proxy to remote services
+2. **SSE with Local Commands**: A remote SSE server that can trigger operations on the client machine through callbacks
+3. **Gateway Pattern**: STDIO servers for local operations that connect to SSE servers for specialized functions
+
+## Choosing Between STDIO and SSE
+
+| Consideration        | STDIO                    | SSE                                 |
+| -------------------- | ------------------------ | ----------------------------------- |
+| **Location**         | Local machine only       | Local or remote                     |
+| **Clients**          | Single client            | Multiple clients                    |
+| **Performance**      | Lower latency            | Higher latency (network overhead)   |
+| **Setup Complexity** | Simpler                  | More complex (requires HTTP server) |
+| **Security**         | Inherently secure        | Requires explicit security measures |
+| **Network Access**   | Not needed               | Required                            |
+| **Scalability**      | Limited to local machine | Can distribute across network       |
+| **Deployment**       | Per-user installation    | Centralized installation            |
+| **Updates**          | Distributed updates      | Centralized updates                 |
+| **Resource Usage**   | Uses client resources    | Uses server resources               |
+| **Dependencies**     | Client-side dependencies | Server-side dependencies            |

+title: "Telemetry"
+---
+
+### Overview
+
+To help make Cline better for everyone, we collect anonymous usage data that helps us understand how developers are using our open-source AI coding agent. This feedback loop is crucial for improving Cline's capabilities and user experience.
+
+We use PostHog, an open-source analytics platform, for data collection and analysis. Our telemetry implementation is fully transparent - you can review the [source code](https://github.com/cline/cline/blob/main/src/services/telemetry/TelemetryService.ts) to see exactly what we track.
+
+### Tracking Policy
+
+Privacy is our priority. All collected data is anonymized before being sent to PostHog, with no personally identifiable information (PII) included. Your code, prompts, and conversation content always remain private and are never collected.
+
+### What We Track
+
+We collect basic anonymous usage data including:
+
+**Task Interactions:** When tasks start and finish, conversation flow (without content)\
+**Mode and Tool Usage:** Switches between plan/act modes, which tools are being used\
+**Token Usage:** Basic metrics about conversation length to estimate cost (not the actual content of the tokens)\
+**System Context:** OS type and VS Code environment details\
+**UI Activity:** Navigation patterns and feature usage
+
+For complete transparency, you can inspect our [telemetry implementation](https://github.com/cline/cline/blob/main/src/services/telemetry/TelemetryService.ts) to see the exact events we track.
+
+### How to Opt Out
+
+Telemetry in Cline is entirely optional:
+
+-   When you update or install our VS Code extension, you'll see a message about our anonymous telemetry
+-   You can change your preference anytime in settings
+
+Cline also respects VS Code's global telemetry settings. If you've disabled telemetry at the VS Code level, Cline's telemetry will automatically be disabled as well.

+# Cline's Memory Bank
+
+I am Cline, an expert software engineer with a unique characteristic: my memory resets completely between sessions. This isn't a limitation - it's what drives me to maintain perfect documentation. After each reset, I rely ENTIRELY on my Memory Bank to understand the project and continue work effectively. I MUST read ALL memory bank files at the start of EVERY task - this is not optional.
+
+## Memory Bank Structure
+
+The Memory Bank consists of core files and optional context files, all in Markdown format. Files build upon each other in a clear hierarchy:
+
+flowchart TD
+    PB[projectbrief.md] --> PC[productContext.md]

+
+### What is the Cline Memory Bank?
+
+The Memory Bank is a structured documentation system that allows Cline to maintain context across sessions. It transforms Cline from a stateless assistant into a persistent development partner that can effectively "remember" your project details over time.
+
+#### Key Benefits
+
+-   **Context Preservation**: Maintain project knowledge across sessions
+-   **Consistent Development**: Experience predictable interactions with Cline
+-   **Self-Documenting Projects**: Create valuable project documentation as a side effect
+-   **Scalable to Any Project**: Works with projects of any size or complexity
+-   **Technology Agnostic**: Functions with any tech stack or language
+
+### How Memory Bank Works
+
+The Memory Bank isn't a Cline-specific feature - it's a methodology for managing AI context through structured documentation. When you instruct Cline to "follow custom instructions," it reads the Memory Bank files to rebuild its understanding of your project.

+3. Ask Cline to "initialize memory bank"
+
+<Frame>
+	<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/image%20(17).png" alt="Memory Bank Setup" />
+</Frame>
+
+#### Project Brief Tips
+
+-   Start simple - it can be as detailed or high-level as you like
+-   Focus on what matters most to you
+-   Cline will help fill in gaps and ask questions
+-   You can update it as your project evolves
+
+### Working with Cline
+
+#### Core Workflows
+
+**Plan Mode**
+
+Start in this mode for strategy discussions and high-level planning.
+
+**Act Mode**
+
+Use this for implementation and executing specific tasks.
+
+#### Key Commands
+
+-   **"follow your custom instructions"** - This tells Cline to read the Memory Bank files and continue where you left off (use this at the start of tasks)
+-   **"initialize memory bank"** - Use when starting a new project
+-   **"update memory bank"** - Triggers a full documentation review and update during a task
+-   Toggle Plan/Act modes based on your current needs
+
+#### Documentation Updates
+
+Memory Bank updates should automatically occur when:
+
+1. You discover new patterns in your project
+2. After implementing significant changes
+3. When you explicitly request with **"update memory bank"**
+4. When you feel context needs clarification
+
+### Frequently Asked Questions
+
+#### Where are the memory bank files stored?
+
+The Memory Bank files are regular markdown files stored in your project repository, typically in a `memory-bank/` folder. They're not hidden system files - they're designed to be part of your project documentation.
+
+#### Should I use custom instructions or .clinerules?
+
+Either approach works - it's based on your preference:
+
+-   **Custom Instructions**: Applied globally to all Cline conversations. Good for consistent behavior across all projects.
+-   **.clinerules file**: Project-specific and stored in your repository. Good for per-project customization.
+
+Both methods achieve the same goal - the choice depends on whether you want global or local application of the Memory Bank system.
+
+#### Managing Context Windows
+
+As you work with Cline, your context window will eventually fill up (note the progress bar). When you notice Cline's responses slowing down or references to earlier parts of the conversation becoming less accurate, it's time to:
+
+1. Ask Cline to **"update memory bank"** to document the current state
+2. Start a new conversation/task
+3. Ask Cline to **"follow your custom instructions"** in the new conversation
+
+This workflow ensures that important context is preserved in your Memory Bank files before the context window is cleared, allowing you to continue seamlessly in a fresh conversation.
+
+<Frame>
+	<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/image%20(18).png" alt="Memory Bank Context Window" />
+</Frame>
+
+#### How often should I update the memory bank?
+
+Update the Memory Bank after significant milestones or changes in direction. For active development, updates every few sessions can be helpful. Use the **"update memory bank"** command when you want to ensure all context is preserved. However, you will notice Cline automatically updating the Memory Bank as well.
+
+#### Does this work with other AI tools beyond Cline?
+
+Yes! The Memory Bank concept is a documentation methodology that can work with any AI assistant that can read documentation files. The specific commands might differ, but the structured approach to maintaining context works across tools.
+
+#### How does the memory bank relate to context window limitations?
+
+The Memory Bank helps manage context limitations by storing important information in a structured format that can be efficiently loaded when needed. This prevents context bloat while ensuring critical information is available.
+
+#### Can the memory bank concept be used for non-coding projects?
+
+Absolutely! The Memory Bank approach works for any project that benefits from structured documentation - from writing books to planning events. The file structure might vary, but the concept remains powerful.
+
+#### Is this different from using README files?
+
+While similar in concept, the Memory Bank provides a more structured and comprehensive approach specifically designed to maintain context across AI sessions. It goes beyond what a single README typically covers.
+
+### Best Practices

+title: "Prompt Engineering Guide"
+---
+
+Welcome to the Cline Prompting Guide! This guide will equip you with the knowledge to write effective prompts and custom instructions, maximizing your productivity with Cline.
+
+## Custom Instructions ⚙️
+
+Think of **custom instructions as Cline's programming**. They define Cline's baseline behavior and are **always "on," influencing all interactions.** Instructions can be broad and abstract, or specific and explicit. You might want Cline to have a unique personality, or produce output in a particular file format, or adhere to certain architectural principles. Custom instructions can standardize Cline's output in ways you define, which is especially valuable when working with others. See the [Enterprise section](../enterprise-solutions/custom-instructions.md) for using Custom Instructions in a team context.\
+\
+
+<mark style="color:yellow;">
+	NOTE: Modifying the Custom Instructions field updates Cline's prompt cache, discarding accumulated context. This causes a
+	temporary increase in cost while that context is replaced. Update Custom Instructions between conversations whenever possible.
+</mark>
+
+To add custom instructions:
+
+1. Open VSCode
+2. Click the Cline extension settings dial ⚙️
+3. Find the "Custom Instructions" field
+4. Paste your instructions
+
+<Frame>
+	<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/image%20(1).png" alt="Cline Logo" />
+</Frame>
+
+Custom instructions are powerful for:
+
+-   Enforcing Coding Style and Best Practices: Ensure Cline always adheres to your team's coding conventions, naming conventions, and best practices.
+-   Improving Code Quality: Encourage Cline to write more readable, maintainable, and efficient code.
+-   Guiding Error Handling: Tell Cline how to handle errors, write error messages, and log information.

+</mark> <mark style="color:yellow;"></mark>
+<mark style="color:yellow;">`.clinerules`</mark> <mark style="color:yellow;"></mark>
+<mark style="color:yellow;">file between conversations whenever possible.</mark>
+
+While custom instructions are user-specific and global (applying across all projects), the `.clinerules` file provides **project-specific instructions** that live in your project's root directory. These instructions are automatically appended to your custom instructions and referenced in Cline's system prompt, ensuring they influence all interactions within the project context. This makes it an excellent tool for:
+
+### General Use Cases
+
+The `.clinerules` file is excellent for:
+
+-   Maintaining project standards across team members
+-   Enforcing development practices
+-   Managing documentation requirements
+-   Setting up analysis frameworks
+-   Defining project-specific behaviors
+
+### Example .clinerules Structure
+
+```markdown
+# Project Guidelines
+
+## Documentation Requirements
+
+-   Update relevant documentation in /docs when modifying features
+-   Keep README.md in sync with new capabilities
+-   Maintain changelog entries in CHANGELOG.md
+
+## Architecture Decision Records
+
+Create ADRs in /docs/adr for:
+
+-   Major dependency changes
+-   Architectural pattern changes
+-   New integration patterns
+-   Database schema changes
+    Follow template in /docs/adr/template.md
+
+## Code Style & Patterns
+
+-   Generate API clients using OpenAPI Generator
+-   Use TypeScript axios template
+-   Place generated code in /src/generated
+-   Prefer composition over inheritance
+-   Use repository pattern for data access
+-   Follow error handling pattern in /src/utils/errors.ts
+
+## Testing Standards
+
+-   Unit tests required for business logic
+-   Integration tests for API endpoints
+-   E2E tests for critical user flows
+```
+
+### Key Benefits
+
+1. **Version Controlled**: The `.clinerules` file becomes part of your project's source code
+2. **Team Consistency**: Ensures consistent behavior across all team members
+3. **Project-Specific**: Rules and standards tailored to each project's needs
+4. **Institutional Knowledge**: Maintains project standards and practices in code
+
+Place the `.clinerules` file in your project's root directory:
+
+```
+your-project/
+├── .clinerules
+├── src/
+├── docs/
+└── ...
+```
+
+Cline's system prompt, on the other hand, is not user-editable ([here's where you can find it](https://github.com/cline/cline/blob/main/src/core/prompts/system.ts)). For a broader look at prompt engineering best practices, check out [this resource](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/prompt-engineering/overview).
+
+### Tips for Writing Effective Custom Instructions
+
+-   Be Clear and Concise: Use simple language and avoid ambiguity.
+-   Focus on Desired Outcomes: Describe the results you want, not the specific steps.
+-   Test and Iterate: Experiment to find what works best for your workflow.
+
+### .clinerules Folder System 📂
+
+While a single `.clinerules` file works well for simpler projects, Cline now supports a `.clinerules` folder for more sophisticated rule organization. This modular approach brings several advantages:
+
+#### How It Works
+
+Instead of a single file, create a `.clinerules/` directory in your project root:
+
+```
+your-project/
+├── .clinerules/              # Folder containing active rules
+│   ├── 01-coding.md          # Core coding standards
+│   ├── 02-documentation.md   # Documentation requirements
+│   └── current-sprint.md     # Rules specific to current work
+├── src/
+└── ...
+```
+
+Cline automatically processes **all Markdown files** inside the `.clinerules/` directory, combining them into a unified set of rules. The numeric prefixes (optional) help organize files in a logical sequence.
+
+#### Using a Rules Bank
+
+For projects with multiple contexts or teams, maintain a rules bank directory:
+
+```
+your-project/
+├── .clinerules/              # Active rules - automatically applied
+│   ├── 01-coding.md
+│   └── client-a.md
+│
+├── clinerules-bank/          # Repository of available but inactive rules
+│   ├── clients/              # Client-specific rule sets
+│   │   ├── client-a.md
+│   │   └── client-b.md
+│   ├── frameworks/           # Framework-specific rules
+│   │   ├── react.md
+│   │   └── vue.md
+│   └── project-types/        # Project type standards
+│       ├── api-service.md
+│       └── frontend-app.md
+└── ...
+```
+
+#### Benefits of the Folder Approach
+
+1. **Contextual Activation**: Copy only relevant rules from the bank to the active folder
+2. **Easier Maintenance**: Update individual rule files without affecting others
+3. **Team Flexibility**: Different team members can activate rules specific to their current task
+4. **Reduced Noise**: Keep the active ruleset focused and relevant
+
+#### Usage Examples
+
+Switch between client projects:
+
+```bash
+# Switch to Client B project
+rm .clinerules/client-a.md
+cp clinerules-bank/clients/client-b.md .clinerules/
+```
+
+Adapt to different tech stacks:
+
+```bash
+# Frontend React project
+cp clinerules-bank/frameworks/react.md .clinerules/
+```
+
+#### Implementation Tips
+
+-   Keep individual rule files focused on specific concerns
+-   Use descriptive filenames that clearly indicate the rule's purpose
+-   Consider git-ignoring the active `.clinerules/` folder while tracking the `clinerules-bank/`
+-   Create team scripts to quickly activate common rule combinations
+
+The folder system transforms your Cline rules from a static document into a dynamic knowledge system that adapts to your team's changing contexts and requirements.
+
+### Managing Rules with the Toggleable Popover
+
+To make managing both single `.clinerules` files and the folder system even easier, Cline v3.13 introduces a dedicated popover UI directly accessible from the chat interface.
+
+Located conveniently under the chat input field, this popover allows you to:
+
+-   **Instantly See Active Rules:** View which global rules (from your user settings) and workspace rules (`.clinerules` file or folder contents) are currently active.
+-   **Quickly Toggle Rules:** Enable or disable specific rule files within your workspace `.clinerules/` folder with a single click. This is perfect for activating context-specific rules (like `react-rules.md` or `memory-bank.md`) only when needed.
+-   **Easily Add/Manage Rules:** Quickly create a workspace `.clinerules` file or folder if one doesn't exist, or add new rule files to an existing folder.
+
+This UI significantly simplifies switching contexts and managing different sets of instructions without needing to manually edit files or configurations during a conversation.

+
+## .clineignore File Guide
+
+### Overview
+
+The `.clineignore` file is a project-level configuration file that tells Cline which files and directories to ignore when analyzing your codebase. Similar to `.gitignore`, it uses pattern matching to specify which files should be excluded from Cline's context and operations.
+
+### Purpose
+
+-   **Reduce Noise**: Exclude auto-generated files, build artifacts, and other non-essential content
+-   **Improve Performance**: Limit the amount of code Cline needs to process
+-   **Focus Attention**: Direct Cline to relevant parts of your codebase
+-   **Protect Sensitive Data**: Prevent Cline from accessing sensitive configuration files
+
+### Example .clineignore File
+
+```
+# Dependencies
+node_modules/
+**/node_modules/
+.pnp
+.pnp.js
+
+# Build outputs
+/build/
+/dist/
+/.next/
+/out/
+
+# Testing
+/coverage/
+
+# Environment variables
+.env
+.env.local
+.env.development.local
+.env.test.local
+.env.production.local
+
+# Large data files
+*.csv
+*.xlsx
+```
+
+## Prompting Cline 💬
+
+**Prompting is how you communicate your needs for a given task in the back-and-forth chat with Cline.** Cline understands natural language, so write conversationally.
+
+Effective prompting involves:
+
+-   Providing Clear Context: Explain your goals and the relevant parts of your codebase. Use `@` to reference files or folders.
+-   Breaking Down Complexity: Divide large tasks into smaller steps.
+-   Asking Specific Questions: Guide Cline toward the desired outcome.
+-   Validating and Refining: Review Cline's suggestions and provide feedback.
+
+### Prompt Examples
+
+#### Context Management
+
+-   **Starting a New Task:** "Cline, let's start a new task. Create `user-authentication.js`. We need to implement user login with JWT tokens. Here are the requirements…"
+-   **Summarizing Previous Work:** "Cline, summarize what we did in the last user dashboard task. I want to capture the main features and outstanding issues. Save this to `cline_docs/user-dashboard-summary.md`."
+
+#### Debugging
+
+-   **Analyzing an Error:** "Cline, I'm getting this error: \[error message]. It seems to be from \[code section]. Analyze this error and suggest a fix."
+-   **Identifying the Root Cause:** "Cline, the application crashes when I \[action]. The issue might be in \[problem areas]. Help me find the root cause and propose a solution."
+
+#### Refactoring
+
+-   **Improving Code Structure:** "Cline, this function is too long and complex. Refactor it into smaller functions."
+-   **Simplifying Logic:** "Cline, this code is hard to understand. Simplify the logic and make it more readable."
+
+#### Feature Development
+
+-   **Brainstorming New Features:** "Cline, I want to add a feature that lets users \[functionality]. Brainstorm some ideas and consider implementation challenges."
+-   **Generating Code:** "Cline, create a component that displays user profiles. The list should be sortable and filterable. Generate the code for this component."
+
+## Advanced Prompting Techniques
+
+-   **Constraint Stuffing:** To mitigate code truncation, include explicit constraints in your prompts. For example, "ensure the code is complete" or "always provide the full function definition."
+-   **Confidence Checks:** Ask Cline to rate its confidence (e.g., "on a scale of 1-10, how confident are you in this solution?")
+-   **Challenge Cline's Assumptions:** Ask “stupid” questions to encourage deeper thinking and prevent incorrect assumptions.
+
+Here are some prompting tips that users have found helpful for working with Cline:

+## Running Local Models with Cline: What You Need to Know 🤖
+
+Cline is a powerful AI coding assistant that uses tool-calling to help you write, analyze, and modify code. While running models locally can save on API costs, there's an important trade-off: local models are significantly less reliable at using these essential tools.
+
+## Why Local Models Are Different 🔬
+
+When you run a "local version" of a model, you're actually running a drastically simplified copy of the original. This process, called distillation, is like trying to compress a professional chef's knowledge into a basic cookbook – you keep the simple recipes but lose the complex techniques and intuition.
+
+Local models are created by training a smaller model to imitate a larger one, but they typically only retain 1-26% of the original model's capacity. This massive reduction means:
+
+-   Less ability to understand complex contexts
+-   Reduced capability for multi-step reasoning
+-   Limited tool-use abilities
+-   Simplified decision-making process
+
+Think of it like running your development environment on a calculator instead of a computer – it might handle basic tasks, but complex operations become unreliable or impossible.
+

+	<img
+		src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/image%20(4).png"
+		alt="Local model comparison diagram"
+	/>
+</Frame>
+
+### What Actually Happens
+
+When you run a local model with Cline:
+
+#### Performance Impact 📉
+
+-   Responses are 5-10x slower than cloud services
+-   System resources (CPU, GPU, RAM) get heavily utilized
+-   Your computer may become less responsive for other tasks
+
+#### Tool Reliability Issues 🛠️
+
+-   Code analysis becomes less accurate
+-   File operations may be unreliable
+-   Browser automation capabilities are reduced
+-   Terminal commands might fail more often
+-   Complex multi-step tasks often break down
+
+### Hardware Requirements 💻
+
+You'll need at minimum:
+
+-   Modern GPU with 8GB+ VRAM (RTX 3070 or better)
+-   32GB+ system RAM
+-   Fast SSD storage
+-   Good cooling solution
+
+Even with this hardware, you'll be running smaller, less capable versions of models:
+
+| Model Size | What You Get                                            |
+| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
+| 7B models  | Basic coding, limited tool use                          |
+| 14B models | Better coding, unstable tool use                        |
+| 32B models | Good coding, inconsistent tool use                      |
+| 70B models | Best local performance, but requires expensive hardware |
+
+Put simply, the cloud (API) versions of these models are the full-bore version of the model. The full version of DeepSeek-R1 is 671B. These distilled models are essentially "watered-down" versions of the cloud model.
+
+### Practical Recommendations 💡
+
+#### Consider This Approach
+
+1. Use cloud models for:
+    - Complex development tasks
+    - When tool reliability is crucial
+    - Multi-step operations
+    - Critical code changes
+2. Use local models for:
+    - Simple code completion
+    - Basic documentation
+    - When privacy is paramount
+    - Learning and experimentation
+
+#### If You Must Go Local
+
+-   Start with smaller models
+-   Keep tasks simple and focused
+-   Save work frequently
+-   Be prepared to switch to cloud models for complex operations
+-   Monitor system resources
+
+### Common Issues 🚨
+
+-   **"Tool execution failed":** Local models often struggle with complex tool chains. Simplify your prompt.
+-   **"No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it":** This usually means that the Ollama or LM Studio server isn't running, or is running on a different port/address than Cline is configured to use. Double-check the Base URL address in your API Provider settings.
+-   **"Cline is having trouble...":** Increase your model's context length to its maximum size.
+-   **Slow or incomplete responses:** Local models can be slower than cloud-based models, especially on less powerful hardware. If performance is an issue, try using a smaller model. Expect significantly longer processing times.
+-   **System stability:** Watch for high GPU/CPU usage and temperature
+-   **Context limitations:** Local models often have smaller context windows than cloud models. Break tasks down into smaller pieces.
+
+### Looking Ahead 🔮
+
+Local model capabilities are improving, but they're not yet a complete replacement for cloud services, especially for Cline's tool-based functionality. Consider your specific needs and hardware capabilities carefully before committing to a local-only approach.

+# Cline Evaluation System
+
+This directory contains the evaluation system for benchmarking Cline against various coding evaluation frameworks.
+
+## Overview
+
+The Cline Evaluation System allows you to:
+
+1. Run Cline against standardized coding benchmarks
+2. Collect comprehensive metrics on performance
+3. Generate detailed reports on evaluation results
+4. Compare performance across different models and benchmarks
+
+## Architecture
+
+The evaluation system consists of two main components:
+
+1. **Test Server**: Enhanced HTTP server in `src/services/test/TestServer.ts` that provides detailed task results
+2. **CLI Tool**: Command-line interface in `evals/cli/` for orchestrating evaluations
+

+```
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js 16+
+- VSCode with Cline extension installed
+- Git
+
+### Activation Mechanism
+
+The evaluation system uses an `evals.env` file approach to activate test mode in the Cline extension. When an evaluation is run:
+
+1. The CLI creates an `evals.env` file in the workspace directory
+2. The Cline extension activates due to the `workspaceContains:evals.env` activation event
+3. The extension detects this file and automatically enters test mode
+4. After evaluation completes, the file is automatically removed
+
+This approach eliminates the need for environment variables during the build process and allows for targeted activation only when needed for evaluations. The extension remains dormant during normal use, only activating when an evals.env file is present. For more details, see [Evals Env Activation](./docs/evals-env-activation.md).
+
+### Installation
+
+1. Build the CLI tool:
+
+```bash
+cd evals/cli
+npm install
+npm run build
+```
+
+### Usage
+
+#### Setting Up Benchmarks
+
+```bash
+cd evals/cli
+node dist/index.js setup
+```
+
+This will clone and set up all benchmark repositories. You can specify specific benchmarks:
+
+```bash
+node dist/index.js setup --benchmarks exercism
+```
+
+#### Running Evaluations
+
+```bash
+node dist/index.js run --model claude-3-opus-20240229 --benchmark exercism
+```
+
+Options:
+- `--model`: The model to evaluate (default: claude-3-opus-20240229)
+- `--benchmark`: Specific benchmark to run (default: all)
+- `--count`: Number of tasks to run (default: all)
+
+#### Generating Reports
+
+```bash
+node dist/index.js report
+```
+
+Options:
+- `--format`: Report format (json, markdown) (default: markdown)
+- `--output`: Output path for the report
+
+#### Managing Test Mode Activation
+
+The CLI provides a command to manually manage the evals.env file for test mode activation:
+
+```bash
+node dist/index.js evals-env create  # Create evals.env file in current directory
+node dist/index.js evals-env remove  # Remove evals.env file from current directory
+node dist/index.js evals-env check   # Check if evals.env file exists in current directory
+```
+
+Options:
+- `--directory`: Specify a directory other than the current one
+
+## Benchmarks
+
+### Exercism
+
+Modified Exercism exercises from the [pashpashpash/evals](https://github.com/pashpashpash/evals) repository. These are small, focused programming exercises in various languages.
+
+### SWE-Bench (Coming Soon)
+
+Real-world software engineering tasks from the [SWE-bench](https://github.com/SWE-bench/SWE-bench) repository.
+
+### SWELancer (Coming Soon)
+
+Freelance-style programming tasks from the SWELancer benchmark.
+
+### Multi-SWE-Bench (Coming Soon)
+
+Multi-file software engineering tasks from the Multi-SWE-Bench repository.
+
+## Metrics
+
+The evaluation system collects the following metrics:
+
+- **Token Usage**: Input and output tokens
+- **Cost**: Estimated cost of API calls
+- **Duration**: Time taken to complete tasks
+- **Tool Usage**: Number of tool calls and failures
+- **Success Rate**: Percentage of tasks completed successfully
+- **Functional Correctness**: Percentage of tests passed
+
+## Reports
+
+Reports are generated in Markdown or JSON format and include:
+
+- Overall summary
+- Benchmark-specific results
+- Model-specific results
+- Tool usage statistics
+- Charts and visualizations
+
+## Development
+
+### Adding a New Benchmark
+
+1. Create a new adapter in `evals/cli/src/adapters/`
+2. Implement the `BenchmarkAdapter` interface
+3. Register the adapter in `evals/cli/src/adapters/index.ts`
+
+### Extending Metrics
+
+To add new metrics:
+
+1. Update the database schema in `evals/cli/src/db/schema.ts`
+2. Add collection logic in `evals/cli/src/utils/results.ts`
+3. Update report generation in `evals/cli/src/commands/report.ts`
