Connect Glean MCP to Cline
Create your Vinkius account to connect Glean 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.
Cline automation with Glean
Give Cline the power to find internal API docs using `search`. It reads the documentation and writes the implementation code based on your company standards. This saves you from manually copying text between browser tabs and your editor. Cline handles the context transfer for you.
Deep data retrieval
Use `get_document` to pull the full text of a specific internal requirement. Cline then breaks this down into actionable tasks for your project. It works better than manual copy-pasting. You get precise code generation because the agent sees the actual source material.
Organize your project info
List your available collections with `list_collections` so Cline knows where to look. It categorizes information to keep your workflow focused. If you find a collection is missing, use `get_collection` to verify its contents. Cline stays informed on all project resources.
