Glide

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:

[Install MCP Server]

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.pypython3 scripts/validate-catalog.pypython3 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.
