Frequently asked questions
Can I retrieve stored passwords for a specific client?
Yes. Use list_passwords with an optional company_id to filter passwords by client. Then use get_password with a specific password ID to retrieve the full entry including the secret. Use list_companies to find the company ID first.
Does Hudu require a custom instance URL?
Yes. Hudu is self-hosted or uses dedicated instances, so you need to provide your Instance URL (e.g., https://your-company.huducloud.com) along with the API Key. The API Key is sent via the x-api-key header (not Bearer), and all API calls are routed to {instanceUrl}/api/v1.
Can I track all assets for a specific company?
Yes. Use list_assets with the company_id parameter to retrieve all assets (servers, workstations, network devices) for a specific client. Use get_asset for detailed specifications and tags. Use create_asset to add new assets with a name, company ID, and optional asset tag.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
