Connect DVC MCP to Cline
Create your Vinkius account to connect DVC 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 project discovery in Cline
Cline can scan your entire repository. Use `list_projects` to identify active work, then `get_project` to verify the state before writing any code. This removes the need for manual setup. Cline handles the heavy lifting by pulling current project metadata through the MCP interface.
Track experiment runs
Need to compare results? Use `list_experiments` to get a list of runs and `get_user` to identify the author of each change. Cline uses this info to build summaries or report on model performance. It turns raw metadata into actionable insights for your dev cycle.
Retrieve specific data views
Working with complex datasets is easier when you can inspect them. Use `list_views` to see what is tracked and `get_view` to pull the details into your current task. Cline uses these outputs to ensure your code matches the data reality. It's a direct way to verify inputs without leaving the editor.
