How to Use the Hudu MCP in Cline

Q: How do I filter Hudu passwords by company in Cline?

You tell Cline to use listpasswords with a specific company ID. Cline executes the tool with that parameter to fetch only the credentials associated with that client.

Q: Does Cline support creating assets in Hudu?

Yes, Cline can run the createasset tool on this MCP Server to register new hardware or software configurations. It passes the asset name and company ID directly to your Hudu API.

Q: How does the Cline MCP integration protect my Hudu passwords?

Your database credentials and Hudu passwords fetched via getpassword are processed locally inside VS Code. The connection uses encrypted local transport, preventing any unauthorized network exposure of your sensitive IT documentation.

Automatic Asset Mapping in Cline

This MCP Server provides `list_assets` and `get_asset` to let Cline audit your hardware inventory inside VS Code. You ask Cline to find outdated servers, and it pulls the records, analyzes the specs, and writes a cleanup script. Cline uses the retrieved asset details to draft code that matches your actual infrastructure. It links your live environment data directly to your editor workspace without manual copy-pasting.

Direct Knowledge Base Updates

The MCP Server lets Cline query Hudu knowledge bases using `get_article` and `list_articles` to verify deployment requirements. When writing integration tests, Cline pulls the relevant article to make sure your code aligns with internal standards. If an article is missing, Cline prompts you to create one, keeping your documentation loop tight. It reads the raw text to extract port configurations, API endpoints, and setup steps automatically.

Secure Password Integration for Local Testing

You can fetch credentials using `get_password` and `list_passwords` directly inside Cline during local runs. Cline requests the password details for your target company, allowing you to test database connections without hardcoding keys. Your team gets secure, temporary values in memory, keeping your Hudu vault protected while accelerating development cycles.
