How to Use the NetBird MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline manage NetBird setup keys?

Yes. Your agent generates reusable enrollment tokens using createsetupkey. It can also revoke compromised keys via deletesetupkey.

Q: How do I handle deprecated route commands?

The API still exposes createroute and listroutes for legacy setups. You should migrate to the newer network resource tools for modern deployments.

Cline provisions NetBird access policies and infrastructure directly from VS Code using this MCP Server.

Build Infrastructure as Code with Cline

The NetBird MCP Server translates your plain English requests into live network topologies. Cline executes `create_network` to spin up isolated environments for new microservices. It immediately follows up with `create_network_resource` to register specific subnets and hosts within that boundary. Routing traffic between these segments requires zero manual intervention. Your agent calls `create_network_router` to establish paths between your new resources and existing infrastructure. It validates the setup by pulling `list_network_routers` to ensure no conflicting paths exist.

Provision Ephemeral Developer Access

Standing up temporary VPN access for contractors wastes engineering cycles. You can tell your agent to grant 24-hour database access, prompting it to fire `create_temporary_access_peer`. This grants immediate, time-bound connectivity without leaving lingering credentials. Onboarding full-time staff works just as fast. Cline issues `create_user_invite` to send enrollment links to new hires. Once they accept, the agent assigns them to the correct engineering groups using `update_user`.

Audit Connections and Proxy Logs

Tracking down unauthorized access attempts means digging through scattered log files. Your agent pulls centralized activity records via `list_proxy_events` to see exactly who hit your reverse proxies. It formats this data into readable reports right in your editor. Finding the root cause of a blocked connection takes seconds instead of hours. Cline cross-references those proxy logs with `list_audit_events` to see if someone recently changed a policy. If an administrator pushed a bad rule, the agent identifies the exact timestamp and initiator.
