Connect RocketReach to Cline

Bring RocketReach's people and company data into Cline by adding the RocketReach MCP server as a remote server in the Cline extension and signing in.

Requirements

A RocketReach account (free or paid plan)
The Cline extension in VS Code

Steps to Connect

1. Open Remote Servers

In Cline, click the MCP Servers icon and open the Remote Servers tab.

2. Add the RocketReach MCP server

Enter the following details, then click Add Server:

Field	Value
Name	`RocketReach`
URL	`https://mcp.rocketreach.co/mcp`
Transport	`Streamable HTTP`

Or add it to cline_mcp_settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rocketreach": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://mcp.rocketreach.co/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Editing the JSON? Use streamableHttp exactly as written, with a capital H. If you leave out type, Cline falls back to the older SSE transport and the connection fails.

3. Authenticate and approve access

When Cline shows Authentication required, click Authenticate. Then sign in to your RocketReach account and approve access.

4. Test the connection

Ask Cline:

What RocketReach tools do you have?

If Cline lists the RocketReach tools, you're all set.

Example Prompts

Try these once you're connected:

Find 10 engineering managers at SaaS companies in Seattle and save them to leads.csv.
Enrich companies.csv with industry and employee count from RocketReach.
Get the verified email for the CTO of [company].

Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
Connection fails	Set the transport to Streamable HTTP. If `type` is left out of the JSON, Cline falls back to the older SSE transport.
Server doesn't load after editing the JSON	Use `streamableHttp` exactly as written, with a capital H.
"Authentication required" stays on screen	Click Authenticate, or delete the server and add it again for a fresh sign-in.
Sign-in loops or approval fails	Allow pop-ups and sign in with your RocketReach account.
