How to Set Up and Use MCP Marketplace

The MCP Marketplace is Cline's official registry of curated MCP servers, enabling developers to submit their servers for discovery and one-click installation by millions of Cline users. It is not a runtime MCP server itself but rather a GitHub-based submission and approval system: developers open a GitHub issue with their repository URL, a 400x400 PNG logo, and a reason for inclusion, and the Cline team reviews it for community adoption, developer credibility, code quality, and security. Once approved, the server appears in Cline's built-in marketplace UI where users can install it with a single click, with Cline autonomously handling cloning, setup, and configuration guided by the server's README or optional llms-install.md file. It is the primary discovery channel for MCP servers targeting the Cline user base.

Prerequisites

A GitHub account to open submission issues
Cline extension installed in VS Code (to use the marketplace as a consumer)
A publicly accessible GitHub repository containing your MCP server (for submitters)
A 400x400 PNG logo image for your server submission
A clear README.md or llms-install.md that Cline can follow to autonomously set up the server

Install Cline in VS Code to access the marketplace

Install the Cline extension from the VS Code marketplace. Once installed, the MCP Marketplace is accessible from the Cline sidebar where you can browse, search, and install MCP servers with one click.

Browse and install MCP servers from the marketplace

Open the Cline panel in VS Code, navigate to the MCP Marketplace tab, and search or browse by name, category, or tags. Click Install on any server to have Cline autonomously set it up.

Prepare your MCP server for submission

Ensure your MCP server repository has a clear README with installation instructions that an AI agent can follow without human intervention. Optionally add a llms-install.md file for complex setups requiring specific environment variables or multi-step configuration.

Open a submission issue on GitHub

Create a new issue on the mcp-marketplace repository using the MCP server submission template. Include your GitHub repo URL, a 400x400 PNG logo, and a brief explanation of what your server does and why Cline users would benefit from it.

# Open a submission issue at:
https://github.com/cline/mcp-marketplace/issues/new?template=mcp-server-submission.yml

Wait for review and approval

The Cline team reviews submissions within a few days, evaluating community adoption metrics, developer credibility, code quality, documentation, and security. Once approved, your server is added to the live marketplace listings.

MCP Marketplace Examples

Client configuration

The MCP Marketplace itself does not run as an MCP server in your config. Servers discovered through the marketplace are installed individually into Cline's config. A typical installed server entry looks like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "your-discovered-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "your-mcp-package"],
      "env": {
        "API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

Use the Cline MCP Marketplace to discover and work with community-built servers:

- "Show me available MCP servers for GitHub integration in the marketplace"
- "Install the filesystem MCP server from the marketplace"
- "What MCP servers are available for database access?"
- "Search the marketplace for servers that work with Slack"
- "Help me submit my MCP server to the Cline marketplace"

Troubleshooting MCP Marketplace

One-click install fails — Cline cannot set up the server automatically

The server's README or llms-install.md may lack sufficient setup instructions for autonomous installation. As a submitter, test this yourself by giving Cline only your README and watching it attempt the setup. Add explicit, step-by-step environment variable and configuration instructions to improve success rates.

Submission issue not reviewed or rejected without feedback

Ensure your submission includes all required fields: GitHub repo URL, a 400x400 PNG logo, and a reason for addition. Join the Cline Discord (#mcp channel) to ask for status updates or clarification on rejection reasons. Projects with low GitHub activity or insufficient security documentation for sensitive domains may require additional context.
