Summary

• Cline CLI support (feat: add Cline CLI support with ClinePass model routing #564) added the cline host case for agentflare's MCP registration, but it wrote the flare mcpServers entry to ~/.cline/mcp.json — a file the Cline CLI never reads.
• Per CLI cannot find MCP servers cline/cline#7081, the Cline CLI actually reads ~/.cline/data/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json. Registration was silently landing in the wrong file, so flare (and lean-ctx, which is only reachable through the flare gateway) never showed up for Cline CLI users.
• Extracted a cline_mcp_settings_path() helper and pointed both the check and apply branches for host "cline" at it.

Test plan

• cargo test -p agentflare --bin agentflare components:: — 35 passed, including 2 new tests: agentflare_mcp_cline_check_then_apply_then_check and agentflare_mcp_cline_writes_the_cli_settings_path_not_the_extension_one
• cargo check -p agentflare --lib

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved Cline MCP integration by using the current CLI settings location.
  • Prevented extension registration from writing to an incorrect configuration path.
  • Improved detection of existing Cline MCP registrations.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Cline MCP detection and registration now use ~/.cline/data/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json instead of ~/.cline/mcp.json. Tests verify idempotency and confirm that registration does not create the legacy path.

Changes

Cline MCP settings path

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Use the CLI MCP settings path src/components.rs	Adds a helper for the Cline CLI settings path. Cline registration checks and writes now use this path.
Validate Cline registration behavior src/components.rs	Tests cover registration checks, apply idempotency, the new settings file, and the absent legacy path.

1407-1419: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Verify repeated apply and settings preservation.

The test calls apply only once. It does not verify semantic idempotency or preservation of an existing Cline MCP entry. Seed cline_mcp_settings.json with an unrelated server, call apply twice, and compare the parsed settings after both calls.
