How to Use the Equinix Metal MCP in Cline

Provision Project Keys with Cline

The Equinix Metal MCP Server provides `create_project_api_key` and `create_user_api_key` to spin up access tokens on demand. Cline uses these tools to generate credentials, writes them to your local environment file, and immediately starts testing your deployment code. You do not need to leave VS Code to fetch tokens from a browser. Cline handles the API calls, creates the necessary files, and runs your local setup scripts in a single workflow.

Automate Key Revocation

This server uses `delete_api_key` and `delete_user_api_key` to revoke credentials that are no longer needed. Cline triggers these tools during teardown tasks to ensure no active tokens remain in your codebase. If a test suite fails, Cline can automatically run the deletion tool to prevent leaked credentials. It inspects the local state, identifies the generated keys, and wipes them from the Equinix platform.

Review Team Invites in VS Code

The tools `get_invitation` and `decline_invitation` let you manage project access without leaving your editor. Cline inspects pending invitations and presents the details directly in your sidebar. If an invitation does not match your project requirements, Cline declines it. You maintain control over who has access to your bare metal resources without context switching.
