// INTEGRATION

Use Intercept with Cline

Add policy enforcement to Cline in one line.

Config file: cline_mcp_settings.json via MCP Servers icon > Configure tab > Configure MCP Servers

// BEFORE

A standard MCP server in your Cline config -- no controls.

cline_mcp_settings.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postgres": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres", "postgresql://localhost/mydb"],
      "env": {},
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

// WITH INTERCEPT

Wrap the server command with Intercept. Same config structure, policy enforced.

cline_mcp_settings.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postgres": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "@policylayer/intercept",
        "-c", "policy.yaml",
        "--",
        "npx", "-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres",
        "postgresql://localhost/mydb"
      ],
      "env": {},
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}
