Connect GitGuardian MCP to Cline
Create your Vinkius account to connect GitGuardian 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.
End-to-end incident management
Cline uses `list_secret_incidents` to pull a report of all active leaks. It presents the findings in a clear list so you can prioritize what to fix first. After you address a leak, Cline calls `resolve_secret_incident` to update your dashboard. No manual web interface work required.
Real-time secret detection
Run `scan_content` on any file or directory to check for exposed keys. Cline identifies the exact location of the issue instantly. If the scan finds a breach, it uses `scan_and_create_incidents` to ensure the security team is alerted. The process happens as part of your coding flow.
Manage your honeytoken fleet
Deploy new traps with `create_honeytoken` to catch attackers early. Cline lets you organize these assets with `create_custom_tag` for better tracking. Check `list_honeytokens` to see which ones are active. If one is triggered, you can revoke it immediately using `revoke_honeytoken`.
