How to Use the 42Crunch MCP in Cline

Q: How does Cline know which 42Crunch API to update?

The agent queries your workspace metadata. It runs getapi to match the unique IDs with the specific swagger files in your repository.

Q: Will the agent delete my APIs if I ask it to clean up?

Yes, the agent executes exactly what you request. Running deleteapi wipes the definition from the platform entirely.

Let Cline fix your 42Crunch API vulnerabilities from inside VS Code.

Perplexity

Fix API flaws automatically with Cline

The 42Crunch MCP server feeds direct security feedback to your VS Code coding agent. Cline reads your local OpenAPI specification, uploads it using `import_api`, and starts a fresh check via `trigger_audit`. Once the results come back, the agent actually writes the fixes. It pulls the static findings through `get_audit_report`, identifies the missing security headers or bad parameter types, and commits the corrected schema right to your branch.

Manage 42Crunch MCP Server collections

Organizing API definitions happens without leaving your editor thanks to the 42Crunch MCP server. Cline fetches your workspace structure by executing `list_collections` and mapping the IDs to your local folders. Getting a quick read on your security posture takes seconds. The agent calls `get_collection` to pull the aggregated security score, then lists individual endpoints with `list_apis` to find the weakest links.

Patch runtime vulnerabilities locally

Live conformance testing results pipe directly into your development environment via the 42Crunch MCP server. You tell Cline to review recent tests, and it grabs the execution history using `list_scans`. Fixing runtime issues requires detailed failure logs. The agent downloads the exact payload mismatches with `get_scan_report` and modifies your local route handlers to match the expected security contract.
