Connect with MCP
The Glide MCP server is available on Pro and Enterprise plans.
Connect a Model Context Protocol (MCP) client, like Claude or Cursor, to your Glide organization, and it can work with your projects the same way GlideOS does. The client signs in as you, so it will have the same features available that you do. Access depends on your organization’s plan.
MCP changes where the AI work happens, which affects your credit consumption. When you drive GlideOS from a connected client, you move the agent’s work and reasoning to your own plan with that provider. Any tokens used by the MCP connection are managed directly with the provider. GlideOS receives the result of that finished work. Credits still apply to the work GlideOS runs itself, including Runtime AI in the apps you create, workflows, and integrations.
A connected client works with your projects and organization: the same work GlideOS does when you ask directly. When you connect an MCP client, it should ask you for permissions to perform actions on your behalf in GlideOS.
Review permissions carefully in your client provider settings. Unexpected credit usage via MCP is not refundable.
Connect a Client
You need an MCP client that supports remote servers over HTTP. Each connection you set up belongs to one organization. If you leave that organization, the connection stops working for all team members.
To connect, you’ll need Glide’s remote MCP server URL. It’s the same for every organization, and users authenticate when connecting. Copy it to your agent, or pick your client under Open in to get connected.

Claude
In a Claude Team or Enterprise organization, only an owner can add a custom connector, from Organization settings > Connectors. Everyone else opens Customize > Connectors and clicks Connect on the connector the owner added.
Cursor
ChatGPT
ChatGPT treats an MCP server as a custom connector, and connectors sit behind developer mode. Turn that on first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which transport should I choose?
Some clients ask you to pick a transport when you add a server. Choose HTTP, which some clients label Streamable HTTP. Skip the local or stdio option, which is for servers that run as a program on your own machine, and skip SSE, an older option some clients still list. Many clients never ask, and instead select it for you.
Why doesn't my organization appear when I connect?
The organization picker shows only organizations where you’re an admin or editor. If you’re a viewer, or your invite is still pending, ask an organization admin to grant editor access, then connect again.
