Generate images, video, and audio with Glif's media-generation agent

VerifiedStreamable HTTPWeb executableMedia & DesignAI & ML

Overview

AI-generated overview

Glif is a hosted creative agent that lets an assistant generate images, video and audio, and run multi-step media jobs, from plain-language briefs.

What you can do
Generate media: describe an image, video, audio clip or a whole series of variations and receive a job ID and project link to track it. Check jobs: follow a running generation and retrieve the resulting media links. Manage projects: reopen saved work, add variations or follow-ups, and upload reference files. Account: check the connected Glif account and its credit balance.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to produce or edit visual and audio assets — hero images, icons, promo screenshots, demo videos, music or voiceover — without wiring up individual model APIs yourself.
Requirements
Remote Streamable HTTP endpoint at glif.app/api/mcp. Requires a Glif account and OAuth 2.1 browser sign-in; plain HTTP clients can instead send a glif_v1_ API token as a bearer token. Network access to glif.app.
Before you install
Generation spends credits from the signed-in Glif account, while reading and browsing are free. The server also transcribes, renders HTML, searches the web and runs code, so prompts and uploaded reference files are sent to Glif's hosted service. Treat the API token as a secret.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Glif in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/app.glif%2Fglif/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

Glif MCP Server and Plugin

Glif is a creative agent. Describe what you want to make, and it picks the models and does the work across images, video and audio. It also transcribes, renders HTML, searches the web, runs code and chains multi-step media jobs.

This repo holds three things:

  • A plugin for Claude, Codex, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Copilot and Gemini CLI. It connects the hosted server and bundles public skills.
  • Public Agent Skills in skills/.
  • Registry metadata for the hosted server (server.json). The server itself runs on glif.app and is not open source.

[!NOTE] Looking for the old locally run stdio server (npm @glifxyz/glif-mcp-server)? It's deprecated. The code is parked on the legacy-local-server branch.

Install the plugin

The plugin adds the Glif server plus the skills below. Your client opens a browser sign-in the first time it connects.

Claude Code

sh
claude plugin marketplace add glifxyz/glif-mcp-serverclaude plugin install glif@glif

In a session, /plugin marketplace add glifxyz/glif-mcp-server then /plugin install glif@glif does the same. Run /mcp to sign in.

Claude (web and desktop)

Customize → Plugins → Add marketplace, then enter glifxyz/glif-mcp-server. To add only the server, go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and paste https://glif.app/api/mcp.

Codex

sh
codex plugin marketplace add glifxyz/glif-mcp-servercodex plugin add glif@glifcodex mcp login glif

Gemini CLI

sh
gemini extensions install https://github.com/glifxyz/glif-mcp-server

Skills only

Any agent that reads Agent Skills can install them with skills.sh:

sh
npx skills add glifxyz/glif-mcp-server

The skills need the Glif server connected too.

Add just the server

Cursor

[Add to Cursor]

Or add to .cursor/mcp.json:

json
{ "mcpServers": { "glif": { "url": "https://glif.app/api/mcp" } } }

VS Code

sh
code --add-mcp '{"name":"glif","type":"http","url":"https://glif.app/api/mcp"}'

ChatGPT

Turn on developer mode, then Settings → Apps & Connectors → Add new connector. Paste https://glif.app/api/mcp and pick OAuth.

Claude Code (server only)

sh
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http glif https://glif.app/api/mcp

Any other MCP client

json
{ "mcpServers": { "glif": { "url": "https://glif.app/api/mcp", "transport": "http" } } }

More clients (Replit, Hermes, OpenClaw, LM Studio and others) have copy-paste snippets at https://glif.app/mcp.

Skills

SkillUse it to
get-startedCheck the connected account and credits, and learn how projects work. Never generates.
web-visualsMake hero images, textures, illustrations, OG images and background video for a site you're building, and wire them in.
app-icons-and-logosDesign a logo or app icon, then export the favicon set, PWA, iOS and Android sizes.
app-promo-materialsTurn real app screens into App Store screenshots and launch posts, or plan and make an ad campaign or product photo set.
app-demo-videosRecord the app with Playwright, then frame it in a video template with captions, voiceover and music.
audio-and-videoMake music, voiceover, sound effects and video clips from a brief or a reference file, or edit existing media.
make-imagesMake new images from a brief, such as concept art or a series in different styles, and save them to a folder.
edit-imagesRemove backgrounds, erase objects, expand, upscale, retouch or restyle an existing image, saved next to the original.
game-assetsMake character sheets, sprite sheets, seamless and PBR textures, 3D models and icons for a game.
continue-projectReopen saved work and add variations or follow-ups to it.

Skills spend credits only when you ask for media. If a visual was the agent's own idea, it asks first.

Tools

compose_project does the work. Describe what you want in plain language, including a whole series of variations. It returns a jobId and a projectUrl right away. Pass the jobId to get_job_status as job_id to follow the run and get the media links. The other tools read projects, reopen media, upload reference files and check your account. Call tools/list for the full set, or see https://glif.app/mcp.

Generation spends credits from the signed-in Glif account. Reading and browsing are free. See https://glif.app/pricing.

Develop

CI checks every manifest on each PR. To check locally:

sh
claude plugin validate --strict .for skill in skills/*/; do uvx --from skills-ref agentskills validate "$skill"; done

The plugin version lives in .claude-plugin/plugin.json, plugin.json and gemini-extension.json. Bump all three together; CI fails if they differ. Publish server.json to the MCP Registry by bumping its version and tagging v<version> (see publish.yml).

This server asks you to sign in, so SourceWeft could not read its tools without an account and has not indexed them. What a connected account sees can depend on that account and its permissions.
