Cline Thea thea_search

How to: Cline Thea thea_search

client:Cline transport:streamable-http tool:thea_search

Add Thea 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": {
    "thea": {
      "url": "https://thealibrary.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Cline.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Thea'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

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 13 October 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.
