Glide

Official registry Other

Glide's official MCP server — build, manage, and operate GlideOS apps, data, and workflows.

What can you do with Glide?

  • Projects — create, list, and manage GlideOS projects
  • Apps — publish, promote, roll back, and manage app access and domains
  • Data — query and modify app databases, ingest data sources, manage backups
  • Workflows — run workflows, manage schedules, webhooks, and triggers
  • Files & code — read, write, and search project files; run backend code

Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

Remote (streamable-http)
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http glide 'https://mcp.glideapps.dev/mcp'
JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code)
{
    "mcpServers": {

            "url": "https://mcp.glideapps.dev/mcp"
        }

Glide MCP Server

Connect your AI tools to Glide's official MCP server and build, manage, and operate GlideOS apps, data, and workflows — from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini CLI, ChatGPT, or any MCP client.

  • Endpoint: https://mcp.glideapps.dev/mcp (Streamable HTTP)
  • Authentication: OAuth 2.1 — sign in with your Glide account when your client prompts you; no API keys to manage. Access requires a Glide plan that includes the MCP server feature.
  • Documentation: https://www.glideapps.com/docs/os/mcp

What you can do

The server exposes Glide's full MCP tool surface, including:

  • Projects — create, list, and manage GlideOS projects
  • Apps — publish, promote, roll back, and manage app access and domains
  • Data — query and modify app databases, ingest data sources, manage backups
  • Workflows — run workflows, manage schedules, webhooks, and triggers
  • Files & code — read, write, and search project files; run backend code

Ask your AI tool things like:

"List my Glide projects"

"Create a new project called Inventory Tracker"

"Show me the tables in my app's database"

Setup

Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http glide https://mcp.glideapps.dev/mcp
Claude (web and desktop)

Go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and enter https://mcp.glideapps.dev/mcp.

Cursor

Install the Glide plugin from the Cursor Marketplace: open Settings → Plugins, search for Glide, and click Install. Or run /add-plugin glide in chat.

The plugin lives in plugins/glide and requires Cursor 3.13.0 or later.

To configure the MCP server manually instead:

Or add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "glide": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.glideapps.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}
Grok Build

The plugins/glide directory doubles as a Grok Build plugin: .grok-plugin/plugin.json, .mcp.json, and a glideos-development skill. Install it from Grok Build's plugin marketplace once the catalog entry is merged — see Listing in the xAI plugin marketplace.

VS Code
code --add-mcp '{"name":"glide","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.glideapps.dev/mcp"}'
Gemini CLI

This repository is also a Gemini CLI extension:

gemini extensions install https://github.com/glideapps/mcp

Then restart Gemini CLI.

ChatGPT

In Settings → Connectors, add a custom connector with the URL https://mcp.glideapps.dev/mcp (requires a ChatGPT plan with connector support).

Repository layout

This repo packages the same MCP server for several agent ecosystems:

Validate the Cursor plugin manifests with:

node scripts/validate-template.mjs
Listing in the xAI plugin marketplace

Grok Build installs plugins from xai-org/plugin-marketplace. Listing is one PR to that repo that adds a remote entry pointing at plugins/glide in this repo, pinned to an exact commit:

{
  "name": "glide",
  "description": "Glide's official MCP server. Build, manage, and operate GlideOS apps: create and manage projects, query and modify app databases, run workflows, publish and roll back apps, and read, write, and search project files.",
  "category": "development",
  "source": {
    "source": "url",
    "url": "https://github.com/glideapps/mcp.git",
    "sha": "<40-character commit SHA>",
    "path": "plugins/glide"
  },
  "homepage": "https://www.glideapps.com/docs/os/mcp",
  "keywords": ["glide", "glideos", "glide apps", "glideapps"],
  "domains": ["glideapps.com"]
}

Get the commit to pin (a full 40-character lowercase SHA — branches, tags, and short SHAs are rejected):

git ls-remote https://github.com/glideapps/mcp.git HEAD

Then, in a fork of the marketplace repo, add the entry to .grok-plugin/marketplace.json and run what CI runs before opening the PR:

python3 scripts/generate-plugin-index.py
python3 scripts/validate-catalog.py
python3 scripts/generate-plugin-index.py --check

To ship a plugin update after this repo changes, bump the pinned sha in that entry and regenerate the index — don't open a second entry.
