What is the Glif MCP server?

This repo holds the registry metadata for the hosted server (see server.json); the server itself is part of the glif.app platform and is not open source. That is what the glif mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 3 tools. What each one is for:

  • Cursor — The Cursor tool exposed by this server
  • ChatGPT — Enable developer mode, then Settings → Apps & Connectors → Add new connector, paste https://glif.app/api/mcp, pick OAuth
  • Codex — The Codex tool exposed by this server

Getting it running

Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.

How it compares

Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Glif's toolset — Cursor, ChatGPT, Codex — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by glifxyz; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Glif's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Things to watch

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Glif to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 3 tools (Cursor, ChatGPT, Codex) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Glif directly.
