Cline web search MCP setup

Configure Annolux search_web in Cline and Roo Code for VS Code: clean Markdown snippets and explicit timestamps.

Config file location

  • In VS Code, open the Cline tab, click the MCP Servers icon (the plug icon), then click Edit MCP Settings.
  • File location on macOS/Linux: `~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json` (or `roo-cline` for Roo Code).

The JSON

Add this block into mcpServers in your cline_mcp_settings.json. Replace the key placeholder with your real API key.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "annolux": {
      "command": "annolux-mcp",
      "env": {
        "ANNOLUX_API_URL": "https://api.annolux.com",
        "ANNOLUX_API_KEY": "ann_live_REPLACE_ME"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using search in autonomous tasks

When Cline breaks down complex tasks, it invokes search_web to look up library docs, package APIs, and recent error messages. Cline displays the tool call query and result preview directly in the chat panel.

Troubleshooting

  • Binary path: if command is not recognized, use the absolute path from `which annolux-mcp`.
  • Restart MCP server: click the retry or reload button next to annolux in the Cline MCP server list.
