Cline + MindMeld

Governed AI development standards in VS Code, powered by Model Context Protocol.

1 Install MindMeld CLI

Install the MindMeld CLI globally via npm.

npm install -g @equilateral_ai/mindmeld

2 Create an API Token

Go to app.mindmeld.dev/api-tokens (requires a MindMeld subscription). Create a token and copy the mm_live_... value — it is only shown once.

3 Configure Cline

Add MindMeld to your Cline MCP settings. You can do this via the Cline settings UI or by editing the config file directly.

{ "mcpServers": { "mindmeld": { "command": "mindmeld", "args": ["mcp"], "env": { "MINDMELD_TOKEN": "mm_live_your_token_here" } } } }

Alternatively, save your token to ~/.mindmeld/api-token and omit the env block entirely.

4 Verify Connection

Restart Cline, then check the MCP servers list — mindmeld should appear with 3 tools:

mindmeld_init_session
mindmeld_record_correction
mindmeld_get_standards

5 Use in Sessions

At the start of each task, call mindmeld_init_session with your project path. MindMeld returns 8–10 relevant standards (~400 tokens) based on your project's tech stack.

When you correct AI output, call mindmeld_record_correction to feed the maturity pipeline.

Switching Accounts

To switch between MindMeld accounts, generate a new API token from the other account's dashboard at app.mindmeld.dev/api-tokens, then update your Cline MCP config with the new token. Restart Cline to pick up the change.

If you saved your token to ~/.mindmeld/api-token, update that file instead.

Note: MindMeld requires an active subscription. The open-source project-object provides a free static standards corpus.
