How to Use the DeepSource MCP in Cline

Q: How does Cline use DeepSource to automate security patches?

Cline runs listvulnerabilities to find outdated packages, then fetches details via getvulnerability. It writes the fix to your manifest files and tests the build locally inside VS Code using DeepSource feedback.

Q: Can I check my code quality grade with DeepSource in Cline?

Yes, Cline calls getreportcard to fetch your overall DeepSource repository grade. It uses this grade to determine if it needs to refactor complex modules before staging your commit in VS Code.

Q: How does Cline handle inactive DeepSource repositories?

Cline uses deactivaterepository to pause DeepSource analysis on archived projects to prevent unwanted billing. It can reactivate them later using activaterepository if you resume development in VS Code.

Let Cline crawl DeepSource vulnerabilities and refactor your codebase directly inside VS Code.

Cline hunts down DeepSource vulnerabilities

Instead of manually searching for CVEs, you can let Cline query your security posture by running `list_vulnerabilities` to fetch every active dependency threat that DeepSource has flagged. Once it has the threat list, Cline calls `get_vulnerability` to inspect the exact package version and reachability status before refactoring your local VS Code files.

Onboard DeepSource repositories using this MCP Server

Setting up a new project shouldn't require clicking through a web UI when this MCP Server lets Cline use `get_repository` to verify your VCS configuration. If you need to rotate credentials, Cline calls `regenerate_dsn` to instantly update your DeepSource environment variables inside your VS Code workspace.

Track DeepSource test coverage metrics directly in Cline

Cline keeps your test suites honest by checking DeepSource coverage metrics on demand using `get_test_coverage` to pull your live coverage percentage. If your coverage falls short, Cline writes new unit tests directly in VS Code to cover the missing paths flagged by DeepSource.
