About R2R MCP Server
Connect your R2R (Rag to Riches) deployment to an AI agent, bringing your RAG infrastructure inside your chat interface. By linking this server, the AI can query its own constructed knowledge base on demand.
Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code. it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including R2R tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 6 tools through Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.
What you can do
- Vector Search — Perform semantic similarity queries across your document database to retrieve contextually relevant chunks of information.
- Execute RAG Queries — Use the 'rag_query' endpoint to have the R2R server directly summarize information based on vector data.
- Knowledge Management — Call the API to list ingested documents, read metadata attributes, and filter logical collections.
- Instance Health Monitoring — Quickly ping the connection using health checks to verify your system is responsive.
The R2R MCP Server exposes 6 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.

Why Use Cline with the R2R MCP Server
Cline provides unique advantages when paired with R2R through the Model Context Protocol.
Cline operates autonomously. it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including MCP tool calls without step-by-step prompts
Runs inside VS Code, so you get MCP tool access alongside your existing extensions, terminal, and version control in a single window
Cline can create, edit, and delete files based on MCP tool responses, enabling end-to-end automation from data retrieval to code generation
Transparent execution: every tool call and file change is shown in Cline's activity log for full visibility and approval before committing
R2R + Cline Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Cline combined with the R2R MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Autonomous feature building: tell Cline to fetch data from R2R and scaffold a complete module with types, handlers, and tests
Codebase refactoring: use R2R tools to validate live data while Cline restructures your code to match updated schemas
Automated testing: Cline fetches real responses from R2R and generates snapshot tests or mocks based on actual payloads
Incident response: query R2R for real-time status and let Cline generate hotfix patches based on the findings
