Use Citewren MCP with Cline

AI search readiness MCP: score a site for ChatGPT/Claude/Perplexity crawlers. 3 free/day.

Remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP), nothing to install. Free: 3 free checks a day · Paid: $19 30-day pass or $9/mo: every fix, 15-page crawl, ready llms.txt

Set it up

1. Click the MCP Servers icon in Cline's toolbar, open Configure and click Configure MCP Servers.
2. Add the server under "mcpServers" with "type": "streamableHttp" and save.
3. Check that the server is enabled and lists its tools.
4. Every tool here is read-only, so you can add tool names to "autoApprove" if you want Cline to run them without asking.

Add to cline_mcp_settings.json::

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "citewren": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://citewren.cybermaxtools.com/mcp?via=use-with-cline",
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

With a paid key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "citewren": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://citewren.cybermaxtools.com/mcp?via=use-with-cline",
      "headers": {
        "x-licence": "YOUR_KEY"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

The settings file is local to your machine; do not paste it into a shared repository with the key in it.

Where it goes:

• cline_mcp_settings.json: in the IDE, click the MCP Servers icon › Configure › Configure MCP Servers
• CLI: ~/.cline/data/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json

Config format checked 2026-10-09 against Cline's MCP documentation.

Tools you get

Endpoint checked 2026-10-09: https://citewren.cybermaxtools.com/mcp answered an MCP initialize (protocol 2025-06-18) and tools/list with 1 tool, all marked read-only. No key was used and no tool was called.

Test the endpoint from a terminal

This lists the tools without a key and without calling any of them:

curl -s https://citewren.cybermaxtools.com/mcp \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

If it does not work

• The field is "type" (not "transportType") and the approval list is "autoApprove".
• Set "type": "streamableHttp" explicitly; "sse" is the legacy transport.
• The free tier has a daily limit (see the pricing line above); a paid key raises it.
