03
Ask for something search_articles does. Cline lists the server's tools on connect and calls search_articles itself — you do not invoke it by name.

04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that TechSnif's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.
Cline's MCP Servers pane edits this file for you if you would rather not find it. Cline docs

TechSnif will not start until these are set, so search_articles never becomes available.

TECHSNIF_API_URL
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.
