About CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP Server
Connect your CyberArk Privilege Cloud account to any AI agent and take full control of your identity security and privileged access management through natural conversation.
Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code — it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including CyberArk Privilege Cloud tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 10 tools through the Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.
What you can do
- Safe Orchestration — List secure Safes and retrieve intricate settings including retention periods and assigned Central Policy Managers (CPM)
- Privileged Account Management — Enumerate vaulted credentials (Root, Administrator, Service Accounts) and audit rotational statuses and address mappings
- Password Retrieval (Check-out) — Pull actual secrets from the Vault with mandatory audited justifications, allowing the agent to securely retrieve credentials for incident response
- Identity Oversight — List internal and LDAP-mapped directory users and groups to verify PAM logical access architectures and RBAC rules
- Session Control — Forcibly terminate active PSM/PSMP privileged sessions instantly as an active incident response mechanism
- Vault Onboarding — Provision new privileged accounts into secure Safes by mapping them to specific platform IDs for automated rotation lifecycle management
The CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cline in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Runs inside VS Code, so you get MCP tool access alongside your existing extensions, terminal, and version control in a single window
Cline can create, edit, and delete files based on MCP tool responses, enabling end-to-end automation from data retrieval to code generation
Transparent execution: every tool call and file change is shown in Cline's activity log for full visibility and approval before committing
CyberArk Privilege Cloud + Cline Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Cline combined with the CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Autonomous feature building: tell Cline to fetch data from CyberArk Privilege Cloud and scaffold a complete module with types, handlers, and tests
Codebase refactoring: use CyberArk Privilege Cloud tools to validate live data while Cline restructures your code to match updated schemas
Automated testing: Cline fetches real responses from CyberArk Privilege Cloud and generates snapshot tests or mocks based on actual payloads
Incident response: query CyberArk Privilege Cloud for real-time status and let Cline generate hotfix patches based on the findings
CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP Tools for Cline (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect CyberArk Privilege Cloud to Cline via MCP:
add_account
Requires precise mapping to an underlying Platform ID (e.g., WinDesktopLocal, UnixSSH) which dictates how CyberArk rotates and verifies the credential moving forward. Provision a new privileged account into a Vault Safe
delete_account
Requires high authorization. Used during system decommissioning so the CPM stops attempting failed password rotations. Delete a privileged account from the CyberArk Vault
get_account
Necessary before rotating or interacting with an account. Get detailed properties for a specific vaulted account
get_safe
Get details and metadata for a specific PAM Safe
list_accounts
These represent highly sensitive credentials (Root, Administrator, Service Accounts). Includes the bounding platform, Safe allocation, address, and rotational status. Use the search string to narrow targets. Search and list privileged accounts vaulted in CyberArk
list_groups
Permissions to Safes are canonically granted to Groups rather than individual users to enforce RBAC best practices. Used to verify PAM logical access architectures. List CyberArk Vault User Groups
list_safes
Safes are the fundamental logical containers separating credentials physically and logically. Required to locate where specific critical tier-0 credentials or local admin passwords reside. List all secure Safes in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager
list_users
Identifies active vault administrators, auditors, and human end-users consuming PSM (Privileged Session Manager) sessions. List all CyberArk users (local and synchronized)
retrieve_password
Highly audited endpoint triggering SIEM alerts. A justification reason is mandatory. After retrieval, exclusive access platforms may lock the credential until check-in or auto-rotation. Retrieve the clear-text password for an account (check-out)
terminate_session
Used as an active incident response mechanism if a SOC analyst or anomalous behavior engine detects unauthorized actions mid-session. Forcibly terminate an active Privileged Session (PSM/PSMP)
Example Prompts for CyberArk Privilege Cloud in Cline
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Cline agent to start working with CyberArk Privilege Cloud immediately.
"List all privileged accounts for address '10.0.0.1'"
"Retrieve password for account 123. Reason: 'Emergency DB maintenance'"
"Terminate active session 'sess_abc'"
