Cline

Cline takes remote MCP servers either through its Remote Servers tab or from a config file.

The config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "calculator": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://mcp.odel.app/@odel/calculator-basic"
    }
  }
}

"type": "streamableHttp" is the transport Odel speaks. Cline also supports the older SSE transport, which Odel doesn't.

The file lives at ~/.cline/mcp.json for the CLI; in the editor extensions it's reachable from the MCP panel. Cline documents both, and the Remote Servers tab that writes the file for you, in its MCP overview.

Signing in

Cline opens a browser on first connection. Approve the module or gateway on Odel and the tools appear in the MCP panel.

If it doesn't connect

See Connect your client for the URL shapes. If you added the server through the Remote Servers tab, check the transport is set to Streamable HTTP rather than SSE.
