Cline is an autonomous AI coding agent for VS Code with 30k+ GitHub stars. it supports MCP servers, so you can connect screenpipe to give Cline context about what you’ve been working on across all your apps.

​
setup

  1. open VS Code with Cline installed
  2. open Cline settings (gear icon in Cline panel)
  3. go to MCP Servers
  4. add screenpipe:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "screenpipe": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "screenpipe-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
  1. click the refresh icon to reload MCP servers

​
usage

once configured, Cline can search your screen history while coding: 
> I was reading documentation about async/await patterns earlier,
> find it and help me apply those patterns here

> what error messages have I seen in my terminal today?

> find the API response format I was looking at in the browser

​
plan mode with context

Cline’s “Plan” mode works great with screenpipe:
  1. switch to Plan mode
  2. ask Cline to find relevant context from your screen history
  3. let it create a plan based on what you’ve been working on
  4. switch to Act mode to execute
> [Plan mode] I was researching authentication patterns earlier,
> find what I was looking at and plan how to implement it here
