Cline VASTlint explain_rule

How to: Cline VASTlint explain_rule

client:Cline transport:sse tool:explain_rule

Add VASTlint to Cline

  1. 01

    Open ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vastlint": {
      "url": "https://vastlint.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Cline.

  2. 03

    Ask for something explain_rule does. Cline lists the server's tools on connect and calls explain_rule itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that VASTlint's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Cline's MCP Servers pane edits this file for you if you would rather not find it. Cline docs

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
