FAQs
Cline and Xholic: questions
Setup, safety and pricing for using Xholic in Cline.
Why choose Streamable HTTP?
Xholic's server speaks Streamable HTTP. If the type is left out in Cline's JSON config, Cline falls back to the older SSE transport, which won't connect.
Does it work in the Cline CLI?
Yes. Run cline mcp, add the server and choose Authorize OAuth to sign in.
Is Xholic free to use with Cline?
Xholic has a 7-day free trial with no card needed. After that, the MCP server, API and CLI are included in every plan, from $19 a month. Cline does the writing on its own plan, so Xholic doesn't charge for its AI.
Does Cline need my X password?
No. You connect your X account to Xholic once through X's official sign-in. Cline then signs in to Xholic through your browser, so it never sees your X password or a key.
Can Cline post to X without asking me?
Only if you allow it. When you approve Cline you choose what it can do: read, write drafts and lists, and publish. Untick Publish and it asks you first with a one-click link. In apps that can show a confirmation, every post and DM waits for your yes and shows exactly what goes out. Authentication and permissions
Which X accounts can Cline use?
Only the ones you tick when you approve it, with one of them as the default. You can change that or disconnect Cline anytime in Xholic under Settings → API / MCP / CLI, and everything it does is logged there.
Works with your other AI too
Use Xholic in every agent you use
One Xholic account works in all of them at once, with the same voice, memory and queue. People who use Cline often also connect VS Code, Cursor and Claude Code.
