Connect Katana MCP to Cline
Create your Vinkius account to connect Katana 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 order execution for Cline
Cline takes your requirements and runs `create_sales_order` to push data into Katana. It handles the entire transaction, so you don't have to verify the API response manually. It verifies customer IDs using `list_customers` before initiating any create call. This keeps your ERP database free from orphan records.
Direct inventory visibility
Use Cline to fetch real-time stock levels with `list_inventory`. The agent reads the output and updates your local documentation or configuration files automatically. Need specific data? Tell the agent to run `get_inventory_by_variant`. It pulls the exact numbers and presents the diff for you to approve.
Code against your Katana data
Cline writes your integration logic by reading `list_materials` and `list_products`. It understands your shop floor structure because it queries the live API directly. It can even stage commits for your build scripts after verifying the data returned by `list_manufacturing_orders`. You just review the final result.
