Cline
Set up Cline to use Avo's documentation, skills, and MCP tools.
Quick use
Ask Cline to read the docs map and fetch the pages relevant to your task:
Read https://docs.avohq.io/4.0/docs-map.md and use it as a reference for Avo code.Permanent setup
Cline reads AGENTS.md from your repository. Add this instruction and check that the rule is enabled in Cline's Rules panel:
When working with Avo, use the docs at https://docs.avohq.io/4.0/docs-map.md as a reference.Skills
For Avo 4 apps, run rails g avo:skills and choose a per-app install in .claude/skills. Cline reads project skills from that directory, even if you do not use Claude Code. Check that the loader is enabled in Cline's Skills panel.
See Skills for Avo's installer and Cline's skills documentation for its supported directories.
MCP server
MCP (Model Context Protocol) connects coding agents to external tools and context. Add Context7 so Cline can look up Avo's docs while working.
In the Cline extension, open MCP Servers → Configure → Configure MCP Servers. Add this entry to the configuration file:
// cline_mcp_settings.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"context7": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@upstash/context7-mcp@latest"],
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": []
}
}
}Confirm that Context7's tools appear, then ask Cline to use context7 when generating Avo code. The empty autoApprove list keeps tool calls subject to approval.
For Cline CLI, run cline mcp and add a local server with command npx and arguments -y and @upstash/context7-mcp@latest. See Cline's MCP documentation for the CLI wizard and configuration paths.
