Cline Contribution Exchange exchange_preflight

How to: Cline Contribution Exchange exchange_preflight

client:Cline transport:streamable-http tool:exchange_preflight

Add Contribution Exchange to Cline

  1. 01

    Open ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contribution-exchange": {
      "url": "https://signalaf.com/api/exchange/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Cline.

  2. 03

    Ask for something exchange_preflight does. Cline lists the server's tools on connect and calls exchange_preflight itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Contribution Exchange's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
