How to Use the MainWP MCP in Cline
Cline handles your MainWP operations, from security scans to plugin updates, directly inside your VS Code workspace.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect MainWP MCP to Cline
Create your Vinkius account to connect MainWP 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.
Execute site management in Cline
Cline doesn't just read data; it acts. Start by running `list_child_sites` to inventory your network. The agent keeps this list ready for any task you throw at it. Need to know what's installed? Use `list_site_plugins` to pull the active plugin list for any site. Cline uses this to understand the environment before it modifies anything.
Direct update execution
Stop clicking through dashboards. Tell Cline to check for patches using `get_pending_updates_count` and `list_available_updates`. It identifies exactly what needs attention across your network. When you approve the plan, Cline executes `upgrade_site_resource` to apply the fix. It tracks the progress so you don't have to monitor the process manually.
Hardened site security
Run `scan_network_malware` to check your sites for infections. Cline parses the scan results and presents the findings in your chat, allowing you to prioritize remediation immediately. Use `scan_network_vulnerabilities` to find outdated components that put you at risk. Cline provides the data you need to secure your infrastructure quickly.
