Glide MCP for AI agents
Agents read Glide MCP at once. Changes and sends are held for a person's approval by default.
About Glide MCP
Build, manage, and operate Glide apps, projects, data, and workflows through Glide's hosted MCP server.
What an agent can do in Glide MCP
Every Glide MCP action is classed by the platform as a read, a change or a send. Reads run at once. Changes and sends are held for a person by default.
Runs at once (reads)
Looks things up in Glide MCP without asking first. 58 actions.

- App authenticated linkCreate a pre-authenticated link to an app. Use this to test/verify/screenshot.
- App bind custom domainBind a custom domain to a published app (e.g. `mycoolapp.dev` or `app.example.com`). Platform subdomains (*.glideapps.dev, *.glideos.app, etc.) are not allowed — use app_claim_vanity_slug instead. Reg
- App claim vanity slugClaim a globally unique vanity subdomain for an app (e.g. `myapp.glideapps.dev`). The slug must follow DNS naming rules and be unique across all organizations.
- App deleteDelete an app. Soft-deletes the app record, removes the deployed worker (or dispatch-namespace script), and clears the production KV route. Best-effort cleanup — missing CF resources are ignored.
- App promotePromote a specific version of an app to production. Verifies the target version script exists in the dispatch namespace, updates the production KV pointer, and updates the app's production URL.
- App publishPromote a version of an app to production. After update_preview succeeds, pass its returned publishable content hash as this tool's `version`. Only available when Workers for Platforms is configured.
- App release vanity slugRelease a vanity subdomain so it can be claimed by another app. The app's long-form production URL continues to work.
- App request writeMake an authenticated HTTP request to THIS project's own app backend (the routes you write in server.ts) and get the response back — use it to verify an endpoint returns what you expect, walk a multi-
- App rollbackRoll an app back to a previous version. The target version must already exist in the app's version history. Updates the app record + production KV pointer so the public URL serves the older build. IMP
- App set accessSet the app's access level — the same setting the user sees in the Share dialog. When you describe org access to the user, always call it their "Glide org" / "Glide organization", never a bare "org".
- App set iconSet the icon for one of the project's apps. Provide `name` (the app to retint) and EITHER a short `description` of what the icon should evoke — e.g. 'task tracker', 'expense reports', 'rocket' — OR `p

- Secret deleteDelete a project secret. This removes it from future deploys only; already-deployed apps keep their current bindings until redeployed.
- Send feedbackSend Markdown feedback to the Glide team about GlideOS itself. Use this when the user asks to report feedback, bugs, confusion, feature requests, praise, or product issues. You may also call this proa
- Set trigger enabledPause or resume a live integration trigger without deleting it (its config and identity survive — re-enabling is instant, no re-connect). Get the `triggerId` from list_active_triggers. While disabled,

- Set workflow data trigger enabledTurn a data trigger off or back on by id (from list_workflow_data_triggers). While off, no runs start; turning it back on fires only for changes made from then on.
- Set workflow enabledEnable or disable an ENTIRE workflow — the app-level master switch, by appName or appId. This is NOT a single trigger: disabling stops every trigger (all schedules, webhooks, and integration triggers)
- Set workflow schedule enabledEnable (resume) or disable (pause) ONE existing workflow schedule by id — get the id from list_workflow_schedules. Disabling stops the cron from firing without deleting it; in-flight runs are unaffect
