# Connect to Cline

Add ToolRouter to Cline through the MCP settings panel.

## How do I add ToolRouter to Cline?

In VS Code, click the **MCP Servers** icon in the Cline sidebar (top navigation bar), then click **Edit MCP Settings**.

Add this to your MCP settings:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "toolrouter": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "toolrouter-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

If you already have other MCP servers configured, add the `"toolrouter"` entry inside the existing `"mcpServers"` object — don't replace the whole file.

Tools will be available with any model provider you use in Cline.

No API key needed — your account is created automatically on first use.

**Requires [Node.js 18+](https://nodejs.org).**
