Cline MCP Marketplace

by Cline

Cline is an open-source autonomous coding agent for VS Code. Its MCP Marketplace is a curated, in-editor catalog of MCP servers you can browse and install directly into Cline, which then wires them into its MCP settings. Submissions are reviewed for adoption, maturity, and security, and servers ship an `llms-installation.md` so the agent can set them up reliably.

How to prompt it

Copy-paste prompts written to exercise this plugin, with what to expect.

Use a freshly installed server

You just installed a database MCP server from the marketplace.

Connect to the dev database with the MCP tools, list the tables, and explain the schema. Read-only.

What to expect: Cline invokes the installed server's tools and returns a schema overview grounded in the live database.

Prefer read-only credentials when a server can query production-like data.

Tips for getting the most out of it

Review what each server can do before installing — marketplace listings vary in scope.
You can still hand-edit Cline's MCP settings for servers that aren't in the catalog.

Frequently asked questions

Are marketplace servers vetted?+

Submissions go through a review that considers adoption, maturity, and security, but you should still confirm a server's permissions before granting access.

Do the servers work outside Cline?+

Yes. They're standard MCP servers, so the same server works in Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Zed, and other MCP hosts.
