How to Use the Harness MCP in Cline
Cline uses the Harness MCP Server to execute deployments and read pipeline logs directly inside your VS Code workspace.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Harness MCP to Cline
Create your Vinkius account to connect Harness 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 pipeline execution
Tell Cline to deploy a build and it uses `execute_pipeline` to start the process. It waits for completion and reports back. You get a full view of the rollout. Cline checks `get_execution_status` to see if the deployment finished successfully.
Inspect project environments via Cline
Cline uses `list_environments` to find your target deployment zones. It ensures the code you write matches the environment configuration. It also runs `list_services` to map out your infrastructure. This prevents configuration drift before you even push a commit.
Automated log retrieval
When a build fails, Cline fetches the relevant data using `get_audit_logs`. You don't have to hunt through the browser. It parses the output and explains the failure. You save time by fixing the issue while the context is still fresh.
