# Cline

> Add Nodaro to Cline in VS Code as a remote Streamable HTTP server, authorize once with your Nodaro account, and use Nodaro tools in every Cline task.

Source: https://nodaro.ai/docs/mcp/connect/cline

You connect **Cline** to Nodaro by adding the Nodaro MCP server, `https://mcp.nodaro.ai/mcp`, as a remote Streamable HTTP server in Cline's MCP settings. You authorize it once with your Nodaro account, and the Nodaro tools show up in every Cline task.

Cline has no one-click link: it reads its own MCP settings rather than the VS Code install link, so you add the server by hand.

### Open Cline's MCP Servers panel

Open VS Code with the Cline extension installed. Click the Cline icon in the activity bar and open the **MCP Servers** panel.

### Add a remote server

Open **Remote Servers** and add a server. Paste `https://mcp.nodaro.ai/mcp` as a Streamable HTTP server and save.

### Sign in and allow access

Cline opens the Nodaro sign-in page in your browser. Sign in with your Nodaro account, review the permissions on the consent screen, and click **Allow**.

### Try it

Back in VS Code, the Cline panel shows the server as connected. In the Cline chat, ask: "Generate an image of a knight using the Nodaro MCP."

## Upload files from your project

Cline can run shell commands, so it can send local files to Nodaro directly. `prepare_image_upload`, `prepare_audio_upload` and `prepare_video_upload` return a presigned upload URL and the file's public URL. Cline uploads the file with `curl -X PUT` and passes the public URL to the next tool. See [Upload tools](https://nodaro.ai/docs/mcp/tools/uploads).

## If the connection fails

- **The sign-in fails.** Check that the URL is exactly `https://mcp.nodaro.ai/mcp`, with no trailing slash.
- **The server is connected but lists no tools.** Some permissions were not granted. Remove the server, add it again and allow every permission.

More fixes are in [Troubleshooting](https://nodaro.ai/docs/mcp/troubleshooting).

## Frequently asked questions

### Is there a one-click link for Cline?

No. Cline reads its own MCP settings rather than the VS Code install link, so you add the server by hand in the MCP Servers panel.

### Do I have to authorize Cline in every task?

No. You authorize once, and the Nodaro tools are available in every Cline task after that.

### Can Cline upload local files to Nodaro?

Yes. The prepare upload tools return a presigned upload URL, and Cline can send a local file to it with curl.
