Cline MCP Setup

This guide shows you how to configure the Sita MCP server in Cline, the powerful VSCode extension for AI-assisted coding.

You must configure the MCP server for each repository you want to work with. Each repository requires its own configuration section with a unique repo ID.

Configuration Steps

Open MCP Settings

In VSCode with Cline installed, look at the top right corner of the Cline interface. You’ll see the MCP icon - it looks like 3 stacked layers. Click on this icon to open the MCP servers panel.

Access Installed Servers

Once the MCP panel opens, click on the “Installed” tab. This shows all currently configured MCP servers.

Configure MCP Servers

Click the “Configure MCP Servers” button. This opens the cline_mcp_settings.json file in your editor where you can add the Sita configuration.

Add Configuration

Add the appropriate configuration based on whether you’re setting up one repository or multiple repositories (see examples below).

Save and Reload

Save the configuration file. The MCP server will automatically reload with your new settings.

Single Repository Configuration

To configure Sita for a single repository, add this to your cline_mcp_settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "code-qna": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "http://localhost:3000/api/mcp",
        "--header",
        "x-repo-id: YOUR_REPO_ID"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_REPO_ID with your repository ID. The repo id can be copied from repos tab.

Multiple Repository Configuration

To configure multiple repositories, add separate server entries for each:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "frontend-qna": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "http://localhost:3000/api/mcp",
        "--header",
        "x-repo-id: frontend-app"
      ]
    },
    "backend-qna": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "http://localhost:3000/api/mcp",
        "--header",
        "x-repo-id: backend-api"
      ]
    },
    "mobile-qna": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "http://localhost:3000/api/mcp",
        "--header",
        "x-repo-id: mobile-app"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Give each server configuration a descriptive name (like frontend-qna, backend-qna) to easily identify which repository it connects to.

Verification

After adding the configuration and saving the file, you should see:

Your server name(s) appear in the MCP panel’s “Installed” tab
A green indicator showing the server is connected
