Cline

Manual config

Cline supports MCP servers through its VS Code extension settings. Add Sigil to the cline_mcp_settings.json file in your VS Code user directory.

Setup

1. Get the correct config for your machine:

   sigil register --print

2. Open Cline’s MCP settings file. Its location depends on your OS:

   OS	Path
   macOS	~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json
   Windows	%APPDATA%\Code\User\globalStorage\saoudrizwan.claude-dev\settings\cline_mcp_settings.json
   Linux	~/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json

3. Add the sigil entry to mcpServers:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "sigil": {
         "command": "/usr/local/bin/node",
         "args": ["/path/to/sigil/dist/server.js", "--mcp"],
         "env": { "DOTENV_CONFIG_PATH": "/Users/you/.sigil/.env" }
       }
     }
   }

4. Reload VS Code. Sigil tools are now available in Cline.

CLI fallback

Cline has Bash tool access. You can call the Sigil CLI directly from any Cline task:

sigil search "what's our database setup"
sigil remember "Cline found that the jobs table uses row-level locking"
