glifxyz/glif-mcp-server

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.
Endpoint: https://glif.app/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP, JSON-RPC 2.0)
Auth: OAuth 2.1 sign-in with your Glif account. Plain HTTP clients can send a glif_v1_... API key from glif.app/settings/api-tokens as a bearer token.
Install page with one-click buttons: https://glif.app/mcp
Docs for agents: https://glif.app/llms.txt
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-server
claude 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-server
codex plugin add glif@glif
codex 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
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.
