Connect Cline to Relay
Give Cline a memory it shares with your other AIs. Plans, progress and reviews saved in Cline can be picked up by any of the 25 AI tools Relay works with, and the other way round. It takes about two minutes.
- What you need
- Free VS Code extension
- How it connects
- One command or config entry (MCP)
1. Get your connection link
- Sign in to Relay with Google. It's free during the beta.
- Open Integrations, click Set up on Cline, then Generate connection URL. Copy it straight away: it's shown only once.
- Below,
YOUR-KEYstands for your link. The dashboard shows the same steps with your link already filled in.
2. Add Relay to Cline
- In VS Code, open Cline → MCP Servers → Configure (
cline_mcp_settings.json) and add (the type must bestreamableHttp, or Cline falls back to an older method that fails):{ "mcpServers": { "relay": { "type": "streamableHttp", "url": "https://mcp.relaymemory.app/mcp/YOUR-KEY" } } } - Save. Relay should show as connected in Cline's MCP list.
3. Test it
Send this in Cline. It should answer from your Relay memory:
Pick up my latest plan from Relay.
Make it save on its own
- In a Cline session, send this once:
In every conversation, store our work in Relay: save new plans, add progress updates as we go, and keep it up to date.
- Cline asks permission to use Relay. Choose Allow always, so it saves as you work. Deleting always asks you first.
- To keep it on in new sessions, add the same sentence to your project's instructions file (for example
AGENTS.md).
Using Relay in Cline every day
- Once added, Relay loads in every session. There's nothing to switch on.
- When it asks to run a Relay tool, approve it. Most tools let you always allow it, so it stops asking.
- Make it automatic: add this line to your project's instructions file (for example
AGENTS.md), and it checks Relay on its own.At the start of a task, check Relay for the latest plan for this project. When you finish, add a progress update to Relay.
