Cline

VS Code MCP config.

Cline (and its fork Roo Code) read from a JSON config inside VS Code’s settings directory. Same format for both.

Step 01

Open Cline's MCP settings.

In Cline’s sidebar: MCP Servers icon → Edit MCP Settings. Or edit cline_mcp_settings.json directly:

cline_mcp_settings.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bankbridge": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://bankbridge.money/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer bbk_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 02

Verify it works.

Cline reloads automatically. Ask:

Troubleshooting

Client connects but shows 0 tools.

Usually the client is caching an old config, or you're on a mode that doesn't expose tools (Ask/Edit vs Agent, for example).

Fix: Fully quit + relaunch the host app. In VS Code Copilot, switch to Agent mode.

401 Unauthorized on every call.

The API key is missing, typo'd, or got revoked. Check the Authorization header starts with `Bearer ` (note the space) and ends in a key you still own.

Fix: Paste a fresh key from Settings.

Tools return a NO_CONNECTIONS warning.

You haven't linked a bank yet.

Fix: Visit Connect a bank — the bank-connect flow opens automatically, ~30 seconds.
