Connect FishOut to Cline (MCP Setup)

Cline connects to remote servers from its Remote Servers tab or its settings file. The one setting that matters is the transport type: omit it and Cline assumes the legacy SSE transport, which FishOut does not speak.

Setup steps checked against Cline's own documentation on 20 October 2026.

[01] CONNECT IT/ SETUP

Add FishOut to Cline

https://mcp.fishout.ai/mcp, on every plan.
1

Add it from the Remote Servers tab

Open the MCP Servers icon, then Remote Servers. Enter fishout as the name, paste the URL, choose Streamable HTTP as the transport, and Add Server.

Or in cline_mcp_settings.json

The CLI keeps it at ~/.cline/data/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json (override with CLINE_MCP_SETTINGS_PATH). State the type explicitly.

cline_mcp_settings.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fishout": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://mcp.fishout.ai/mcp",
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": ["list_mentions", "get_mention"]
    }
  }
}

Sign in

Cline’s CLI wizard has an Authorize OAuth action that runs the browser sign-in for a remote server. Its docs do not describe the OAuth flow in the IDE; if no prompt appears there, use a FishOut API key in headers.

inside "fishout"

"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <FISHOUT_API_KEY>" }

Check it worked. The server shows as connected in the MCP Servers view with its tools listed. Ask Cline for yesterday’s mention count.

[02] WORTH KNOWING FIRST/ LIMITS

Before it bites

Stated before you hit them.

Omitting type defaults to the legacy sse transport. Always set "type": "streamableHttp".

autoApprove is an approval list, not a filter: tools not in it still load and ask. Cline does not document a per-tool exclude.

If you use a key, Cline’s docs advise keeping secrets in environment variables rather than inline.

Not tested by us yet. Steps follow Cline’s documentation, read on 20 October 2026.

Login redirects back to login after SSO

Reply nowHas a problem

One outside report, SSO only, matching the redirect you are fixing in auth/callback.ts. Once it ships, I can draft a reply for that issue.
