 Meet Cline, an AI assistant that can use your **CLI** a**N**d **E**ditor.
 
-Thanks to [Claude 3.5 Sonnet's agentic coding capabilities](https://www-cdn.anthropic.com/fed9cc193a14b84131812372d8d5857f8f304c52/Model_Card_Claude_3_Addendum.pdf), Cline can handle complex software development tasks step-by-step. With tools that let him create & edit files, explore large projects, use the browser, and execute terminal commands (after you grant permission), he can assist you in ways that go beyond code completion or tech support. While autonomous AI scripts traditionally run in sandboxed environments, this extension provides a human-in-the-loop GUI to approve every file change and terminal command, providing a safe and accessible way to explore the potential of agentic AI.

 1. Enter your task and add images to convert mockups into functional apps or fix bugs with screenshots.
 2. Cline starts by analyzing your file structure & source code ASTs, running regex searches, and reading relevant files to get up to speed in existing projects. By carefully managing what information is added to context, Cline can provide valuable assistance even for large, complex projects without overwhelming the context window.

+### "add a tool that..."
+
+Thanks to the [Model Context Protocol](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol), Cline can extend his capabilities through custom tools. While you can use [community-made servers](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers), Cline can instead create and install tools tailored to your specific workflow. Just ask Cline to "add a tool" and he will handle everything, from creating a new MCP server to installing it into the extension. These custom tools then become part of Cline's toolkit, ready to use in future tasks.

+-   "add a tool that fetches Jira tickets": Retrieve ticket ACs and put Cline to work
+-   "add a tool that manages AWS EC2s": Check server metrics and scale instances up or down
+-   "add a tool that pulls the latest PagerDuty incidents": Fetch details and ask Cline to fix bugs

 ### Add Context
 
--   **`@url`:** Paste in a URL for the extension to fetch and convert to markdown, useful when you want to give Cline the latest docs
--   **`@problems`:** Add workspace errors and warnings ('Problems' panel) for Cline to fix
--   **`@file`:** Adds a file's contents so you don't have to waste API requests approving read file (+ type to search files)
--   **`@folder`:** Adds folder's files all at once to speed up your workflow even more
