Agent MCP / Cline

UK property data in Cline

Cline is an autonomous coding agent that runs inside VS Code. It can install Homedata from one message and then treat it like any other tool: look up an address, pull its EPC and flood risk, and carry on with the job.

Copy this to Cline

Install the Homedata MCP server (npx -y homedata-mcp) with my API key, YOUR_API_KEY, then find 63 Harvey Lane, Norwich to check it works.

Questions

Cline and Homedata

How do I add the Homedata MCP to Cline?

Open the Cline panel in VS Code, click the MCP Servers icon, choose 'Edit MCP Settings' and paste the homedata block from this page into the JSON. Save the file: Cline reconnects automatically and the homedata tools appear in the Available Tools list.

Does Cline auto-approve tool calls?

Cline asks for approval before each tool call by default. You can enable auto-approval per tool: useful for repeated lookups like address_find that have no side effects.

Can I use Cline with the Homedata MCP and a local LLM?

Yes. Cline supports any chat model: Claude, GPT-4, local via Ollama. The MCP server runs independently of the model, so a local model can use the same Homedata tools as a hosted one.
