Connect Hunter MCP to Cline
Create your Vinkius account to connect Hunter 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.
Automate your lead verification
Cline acts as an autonomous worker that clears out bad emails before they touch your CRM. It executes `verify_email_address` as a gatekeeper for every prospect it finds. This prevents you from burning your domain reputation on invalid addresses. Cline won't save a lead unless it passes the server-side check.
Execute end-to-end lead discovery
You tell Cline to find prospects for a specific domain and it builds the list for you. It calls `search_domain_emails` and then parses the response to extract contact details. It handles the pagination and storage for you. You get a clean list of saved leads without writing a single line of code.
Sync lead intel to your workspace
Cline uses `get_lead_details` to pull in specific contact intel when you're drafting outreach. It populates your environment with the data you need to personalize your approach. It updates your files using `update_lead_info` so your records stay current. Everything stays in your VS Code sidebar.
