## How to connect Cline

Connect Cline with the local helper and your personal token.

1. Install Bun and Node.js 18 or later on your computer.
2. Create a personal token in your Tapetide account.
   Create a token at https://tapetide.com/settings/tokens
3. Add the configuration below, replace YOUR_TOKEN, and restart the client.

   cline_mcp_settings.json:

   ```json
   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "tapetide": {
         "command": "bunx",
         "args": [
           "tapetide-mcp"
         ],
         "env": {
           "TAPETIDE_TOKEN": "YOUR_TOKEN"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   ```

4. Ask Cline a first question to confirm the connection.
   Prompt: "Use Tapetide to show Reliance’s latest price and when it was updated."
   Expected: a price with a timestamp.

> This helper runs on your computer and connects to the same Tapetide server.

## What to ask Cline about Indian stocks

## Common questions

### Does Cline need an API token for Tapetide?

Yes. Cline connects with a personal token sent as an Authorization header or through the local helper. Create a free token in your Tapetide account and paste it into the configuration.

### What can I ask Cline once Tapetide is connected?

Anything about the roughly 8,200 NSE and BSE stocks: compare companies on financials and ratios, screen with 326 fundamental filters or live technical indicators, pull FII/DII flows, inspect option chains and read parsed filings. One question may call several tools.

### Is Tapetide an NSE MCP server?

Yes. Tapetide works as an NSE MCP server and a BSE MCP server through one connection. It covers around 8,200 companies listed on either exchange, including small caps and SME listings, plus NSE indices such as Nifty 50 and Bank Nifty. Search by company name, symbol, BSE code or ISIN.

### Is the data real time?

Not as a live trading feed; freshness depends on the dataset. Quotes reflect the latest available prices; financials and ownership data follow their reporting periods. Index option chains are end-of-day snapshots. Ask your assistant to include the observation date or reporting period, especially when comparing datasets.
