How to Use the HetrixTools MCP in Cline

Q: Does Cline support HetrixTools blacklist checks for IPv4?

The agent uses checkipblacklist for on-demand IPv4 scans. It handles the processing delay asynchronously and reports back when the reputation data is ready.

Perplexity

Scan for blacklists directly inside Cline

The `list_blacklist_monitors` tool pulls your entire IP and domain reputation inventory straight into VS Code. Cline reads this data to understand exactly which assets are currently tracked. If an email service starts failing, you just tell the agent to investigate. Cline responds by executing `check_ip_blacklist` or `check_domain_blacklist` to isolate the problem. It fetches the raw blocklist status for the specific IPv4 address or domain. You get the exact failure points printed in your editor terminal, no browser required.

HetrixTools MCP Server uptime controls

The `add_uptime_monitor` tool lets your agent provision new monitoring endpoints automatically. You pass the target URL, label, and contact ID, and Cline configures the check via the JSON body parameter. It handles the entire setup while you finish writing the application code. When an outage occurs, Cline runs `list_uptime_monitors` to check the current health of your infrastructure. It correlates the down-state with your recent commits. For historical context, it pulls `list_uptime_reports` to see if the endpoint has a pattern of dropping connections.

Manage quotas and deployment windows

The `set_maintenance_mode` tool prevents false alarms by muting your monitors before Cline stages your commits. It flips the monitor to mode 3, suppressing all notifications until the deployment finishes. API limits dictate how much automation you can run. Cline checks your current quota using `get_account_usage` to ensure it has enough resources for the task. It also maps out your notification chains by calling `list_contact_lists`.

Common questions about HetrixTools MCP in Cline

Open the Cline sidebar in VS Code and click the MCP Servers icon. You can use the Marketplace tab for a one-click install or edit the cline_mcp_settings.json file directly.

You just tell the agent to monitor the new endpoint. Cline drafts the JSON configuration and executes `add_uptime_monitor` using your specified contact ID.

The agent uses `check_ip_blacklist` for on-demand IPv4 scans. It handles the processing delay asynchronously and reports back when the reputation data is ready.

Ask the agent to delete it. Cline identifies the target and runs `delete_uptime_monitor` to clear it from your dashboard.

Your target URLs and contact list IDs pass through a strict zero-trust boundary. Vinkius provisions a temporary sandbox for the API call. Once the request completes, the environment terminates instantly, leaving zero persistent traces of your infrastructure map.
