}In Cline chat, simply say: "add a tool for JavaScript package management using npmplus-mcp-server"
Cline will automatically configure the MCP server for you!

}For VS Code 1.102+ with native MCP support:

For explicit tool usage, try prompts like:
Just ask naturally - Claude automatically uses MCP tools:
"Search for React animation libraries"
"Check if lodash has any vulnerabilities"
"What's the bundle size of moment.js?"
✅ Look for: Tool use blocks and structured output
Natural language queries trigger MCP:
"Install express and cors packages"
"Show me the latest version of typescript"
"Audit my dependencies"
"Migrate from moment to dayjs" (Cascade mode)
✅ Look for: "🔧 Using npmplus-mcp" in activity bar
Multiple ways to invoke:
Chat: "What packages are outdated?"
Composer (Cmd+K): "Find React form libraries"
Explicit: "Use npmplus-mcp to check security"
Natural: "Compare bundle sizes of axios vs fetch"
✅ Look for: Tool usage in chat sidebar + execution time
Multiple invocation methods:
Natural: "Search for React testing libraries"
Explicit: "Use npmplus-mcp to audit dependencies"
Direct: "@npmplus-mcp check bundle size of lodash"
Auto: "add a tool for JavaScript package management"
✅ Look for: Tool usage indicators in Cline interface
💡 Agent mode automatically detects when to use tools
