Connect Dokku MCP to Cline
Create your Vinkius account to connect Dokku 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.
Deploy and tear down apps with Cline
Cline acts as your devops lead. When you need a new environment, it triggers `create_app` to set up the network hooks and routing automatically. When you're finished, `destroy_app` cleans up the containers and DNS mappings. It does the work so you don't have to remember the exact CLI syntax.
Debug production issues in Cline
When things break, you need to see the stack trace. Cline uses `get_logs` to fetch real-time stderr data from your containers. You can then use `run_command` to execute fixes like database migrations or scripts. It stays in the loop until the issue is cleared.
Manage app configuration via Cline
Variables like SQL_URL or API_KEY belong in your config, not your code. Cline uses `set_config` to inject these values and `list_config` to audit them. It keeps your security tight by removing old keys with `unset_config`. It ensures your app always has the right runtime inputs.
