Connect Nmap Online MCP to Cline
Create your Vinkius account to connect Nmap Online 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.
Write secure code with real-time port audits
Cline can run a port scan using `nmap_scan` to check if your newly written backend service is actually listening. It verifies the deployment before you commit. If the service isn't responding, your agent can run `get_http_headers` to inspect the response. It identifies configuration issues and fixes the code on the spot.
Map your external attack surface via Cline
Let Cline map out your public-facing assets using `list_subdomains` to find exposed hostnames. It resolves them using `dns_lookup` to build a complete asset map inside your workspace using this MCP Server. To verify PTR records, it executes `reverse_dns` to make sure nothing is misconfigured. Cline then writes the entire asset inventory directly to a markdown file in your repository, powered by our secure MCP integration.
Debug network latency and routing issues
When your application experiences high latency, Cline runs `ping_host` to check availability. It can also execute `traceroute` to find routing hops that are slowing down traffic. By combining this with `geoip_lookup`, it checks if your traffic is routing through unexpected regions. You get a clear diagnosis of network path bottlenecks without leaving VS Code.
