Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that lets a coding assistant delegate file-editing work to Zhipu/Z.ai GLM models as a cheaper subagent.

What you can do
Delegate file-editing work to GLM models from Zhipu/Z.ai as a subagent for the coding assistant, positioned as roughly ten times cheaper than the main model. The server runs locally over stdio and answers MCP introspection even before an API key is supplied. No individual tools are listed in the manifest, so the exact operations available are not documented here.
When to use it
Useful when an AI coding agent should offload routine file edits to a lower-cost GLM model instead of spending main-model tokens. It suits users who already have a Z.ai or Zhipu GLM Coding Plan subscription and want a local, desktop-only helper.
Requirements
Runs as a local process on the user's machine over stdio, installed from the npm package glm-mcp, so Node.js is needed. Requires a Z.ai / Zhipu GLM Coding Plan API key supplied in the GLM_API_KEY environment variable; the server starts without it but GLM calls need it. Desktop only, not web-executable.
Before you install
The GLM_API_KEY secret is required for model calls, so store it carefully and avoid exposing it in logs or shared configs. File-editing actions can change files on your machine, so review proposed edits before accepting them. Content sent to GLM is processed by Zhipu/Z.ai as a third party.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open GLM MCP in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.
