Cline Setup¶

Set up Cline (VS Code extension) to generate idiomatic adk-fluent and Google ADK code.

1. Project rules¶

Cline reads rules from .clinerules/ in your project root.

If you cloned the repo¶

The file is already generated at .clinerules/adk-fluent.md. Nothing to do.

If you installed via pip¶

Download the rules file into your project:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vamsiramakrishnan/adk-fluent/master/.clinerules/adk-fluent.md \
  --create-dirs -o .clinerules/adk-fluent.md

2. MCP server — live documentation access¶

Option A: adk-fluent GitMCP (free)¶

Add to your Cline MCP settings (cline_mcp_settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adk-fluent": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://gitmcp.io/vamsiramakrishnan/adk-fluent"
    }
  }
}

Option B: Context7 MCP¶

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "context7": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@upstash/context7-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Usage — append use context7 to your prompt:

Build me a pipeline with a researcher and writer agent using adk-fluent. use context7

3. Verify the setup¶

After adding the rules file and MCP server, test it with a prompt like:

Create an adk-fluent agent that classifies customer support tickets
into categories, then routes them to specialized handler agents.
Use a FanOut for parallel processing and write results to state.

Cline should:

Import from adk_fluent (not internal modules)
Use the fluent builder pattern with method chaining
Call .build() to produce native ADK objects
Use .writes() for state management
