2. Configure Cline by adding this to your Cline configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tair-openapi": {
      "command": "tair-openapi-mcp-server",
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "your-access-key-id",
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET": "your-access-key-secret"
