Add Sprites to Cline
Available on Cline in VS Code and other supported editors, on any model provider. You need a Sprites account with your channels already connected — the connector acts on that connection, so Cline never handles a platform credential.
Open the MCP Servers panel
Click the Cline icon in the editor sidebar, open the menu at the top right of the Cline panel, and choose MCP Servers.

Give it a name, paste the endpoint, and choose Streamable HTTP as the transport.

The same entry in cline_mcp_settings.json. Set type to streamableHttp exactly — in camelCase. Omitting it, or writing streamable-http, makes Cline fall back to the legacy SSE transport and the connection fails without saying why.

Complete the Sprites consent screen when Cline opens it. Leave autoApprove empty for a marketing connector: seeing each call before it runs is the point.

What Cline can reach
All 15 channels run through the one connector. Rows with a guide go deeper on that pairing; the rest are covered on the channel's own page.
| Channel | What Cline does with it | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Google Ads | Account reads in the editor, with writes still held behind the Sprites approval on top of Cline's own. | Channel → |
| Meta | Creative fatigue per ad, learning-phase checks, new hooks previewed in the real placement. | Channel → |
| Cost per lead by job function, ABM account lists, sponsored content that converts. | Channel → | |
| TikTok | CPA and CTR for every ad, the next creative batch, and spend moved before the CPA drifts. | Channel → |
| Community targeting, subreddit-native copy, and the ad groups spending without converting. | Channel → | |
| GA4 | Every read is a call you approved, which is a reasonable default when the data is real. | Channel → |
| PostHog | Funnels, retention and trends by campaign, read-only, beside the spend that bought them. | Channel → |
| SEO | Search Console evidence available to a repo-wide change. | Channel → |
| AEO | Who gets cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity for your prompts, and the pages that change it. | Channel → |
| Shopify | SEO titles across the whole catalogue, collection pages, and product copy that ships on approval. | Channel → |
| GBP | Performance per location, the listings missing fields, and posts that keep the map pack. | Channel → |
| WordPress | Researched posts, page edits and metadata written into WordPress as drafts you approve. | Channel → |
| Webflow | Researched CMS posts, page metadata and copy edits, each an approval before it applies. | Channel → |
| Framer | Researched posts and SEO fields written into your Framer CMS, added after you approve. | Channel → |
| Zoho CRM | Pipeline and lead-source reporting beside ad spend, with approved lead, deal and note writes. | Channel → |
Marketing workflows worth doing in Cline
An open client that shows you every tool call before it runs, which suits work against live ad accounts.
Repository-wide tracking repair
Find every place an event is sent, check what analytics recorded, and fix them as one change.
Analytics instrumentation review
Compare what the code claims to send against what GA4 actually received.
Marketing application development
Build an internal tool with the real account behind it and every call visible as it happens.
Evidence-led SEO fixes
Start from Search Console losses and end at the template change, with each step approved.
Permissions, approvals and authentication
You sign in with OAuth and the connector acts on your workspace. No API keys in a config file, no shared service account, and revoking the grant kills the very next call.
| Action | When it happens | What that covers |
|---|---|---|
| Read an account | On request | Spend, performance, search terms, rankings, catalogue |
| Draft a change | On request | Campaigns, creative, budgets, pages and posts |
| Apply a change | Only on your approval | Cline returns the change as text; the approval waits for you in Sprites |
| Spend money | Only on your approval | New campaigns start paused unless you say otherwise |
| Revoke access | Instantly | The next call after a revoke fails, not the one after that |
Cline MCP questions
The connection fails with no useful error.
Almost always the transport. type has to be streamableHttp, in camelCase. streamable-http, or omitting it, makes Cline fall back to legacy SSE and the connection dies quietly.
Should I use autoApprove?
Sparingly. Read-only tools are reasonable to add if the prompting gets in the way; leave anything that writes out of it.
Where are the settings stored?
cline_mcp_settings.json, reachable from the Cline panel: the Cline icon in the sidebar, the menu at the top right, then MCP Servers.
Can it change my ad accounts on its own?
No. Reads happen on request; every write comes back as a change you approve first, and new campaigns start paused. Nothing is applied because a model decided it should be.
Does Cline have channel-specific guides?
Not yet. It starts as a hub; channel guides follow evidence that the pair is actually used rather than launching on the assumption.
