Connect CoderPad MCP to Cline
Create your Vinkius account to connect CoderPad to Cline and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Automate interview logistics with Cline
Cline acts as your personal interviewer assistant by executing `create_new_interview_pad` the moment you need a new environment. It handles the API calls so you can focus on the candidate. You can also have Cline list all your current sessions using `list_coderpad_sessions`. It brings the data right into your VS Code sidebar.
Deep dive into code with Cline
When you need to see what a candidate wrote, Cline calls `get_pad_session_details`. It fetches the code and lets you inspect it within your current project context. Use `get_pad_event_log` if you need to see the sequence of edits. Cline reconstructs the session history so you don't have to guess how a bug was introduced.
Manage your CoderPad organization via Cline
Keep your interviewer list updated by running `list_coderpad_org_users`. Cline shows you exactly who has access to your account at any given time. Need to pick a specific technical question? Use `list_coderpad_questions` to pull your bank into Cline and select the right test for your candidate.
