Runlayer for Cline CLI

Connect Cline CLI to Runlayer with MCP access and pre-tool enforcement where the client supports it.

01

Connect

Give everyone in Cline CLI the golden path to approved tools

Add one Runlayer Plugin endpoint so people find every tool they’re approved for, or connect a single server when you want a narrower set.

Runlayer Plugin

Unified endpoint

Add one remote MCP endpoint. Users discover and authorize the approved tools available to them without accumulating separate client configurations.

Direct connection

Per-connector endpoint

Give the client a dedicated Runlayer URL for one connector. Identity, policy, scanning, and audit still stay attached to every request.

Connection support

Remote MCP and local MCP

Observe

See how Cline CLI is being used

Runlayer uses every channel Cline CLI exposes. Each one is labeled, so you can tell real-time hooks from after-the-fact imports.

Supported

Client hooks

Capture supported prompts, reasoning, local and MCP tool calls, responses, and scanner decisions in real time.

Know exactly what Cline CLI can block

Each row reflects Runlayer’s enforcement code for Cline CLI: what it can stop before a call runs, block afterward, or redact in place.

ControlSupportWhat that means
Pre-tool denySupportedRunlayer can deny a tool call before Cline CLI runs it.
Post-tool output blockUnsupportedCline CLI ignores Runlayer after a tool runs, so Runlayer cannot block its output.
Output rewriteUnsupportedRunlayer cannot mask tool output in Cline CLI.

Client-specific caveats

  • Runlayer can stop a tool call only before Cline CLI runs it.
  • If Runlayer’s hook times out or crashes, Cline CLI lets the tool call through.
  • This covers the Cline CLI, not the Cline extension for VS Code.
  • Cline shortens long MCP tool names, so Runlayer treats a name it can’t match to a configured server as unknown rather than guessing.
