Cline

Configure Cline to use docpenny’s MCP tools for PDF generation.

Prerequisites

  • A docpenny API key (create one in Settings → API Keys in the dashboard)

Configuration

  1. Open the Cline MCP Panel in VS Code
  2. Click Add Server
  3. Choose Remote as the transport type
  4. Set the URL to https://mcp.docpenny.com/mcp
  5. Add header: x-api-key with your API key as the value

Via Raw Config

Note: Cline uses "type": "streamableHttp" for remote Streamable HTTP servers. Omitting the type defaults to the legacy SSE transport.

Cline stores its config in a JSON file (location varies by OS). The relevant section looks like:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docpenny": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://mcp.docpenny.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Troubleshooting

ProblemSolution
Auth required or 401Check your x-api-key value. Keys can be managed in the dashboard.
Connection refusedVerify the URL is https://mcp.docpenny.com/mcp.
Tools not appearingEnsure the server was added as Remote type, not Command.
Wrong transportIf tools fail to load, check "type": "streamableHttp" — "http" defaults to legacy SSE.
