About Nuclino MCP Server
Connect your Nuclino account to your AI agent and seamlessly interact with your company's unified workspace for knowledge, docs, and projects.
Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code. it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including Nuclino tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 12 tools through Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.
What you can do
- Teams & Workspaces — Rapidly list all teams you are part of, and enumerate the nested workspaces and collections to understand your organization's hierarchy.
- Search & Query — Perform global fuzzy searches using
search_itemsto track down specific documents, notes, or project pages across the entire knowledge base. - Read Items & Files — Read the exact content configuration of any item (document) via
get_item, and list attachments or files uploaded to the platform. - Record Creation — Instantly create new items natively inside your workspace using natural language.
- Telemetrics — Enumerate members and structural fields within your Nuclino domain to keep the agent aware of context and owners.
The Nuclino MCP Server exposes 12 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cline in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
