Tool	What it does
glim_twitter_search	Search Twitter/X. Returns a compact human-readable list by default; pass format='json' for full structured data. Use glim_twitter_get(ref) for full thread context. Use docs://search-operators for reference.
glim_twitter_get	Fetch a tweet or a user from one reference. A tweet URL (incl. handle-less /i/status/<id>) returns the tweet with full thread context, parent, and optional replies/quotes; a profile URL (https://x.com/<handle>) returns the user with recent tweets. Prefer full URLs - if you only have a numeric id, pa
glim_reddit_search	Search Reddit posts. Each result comes with full post content and its top comments, so a single search usually answers the question without follow-up. Compact human-readable text by default; pass format='json' for full structured data. Use glim_reddit_get(ref) for a single post's complete comment tr
glim_reddit_get	Fetch a Reddit post, subreddit, or user by ref. Posts return comments; subreddits and users return profile metadata plus recent activity.
glim_web_search	Semantic web search powered by Exa. Returns titles, URLs, and the top query-relevant excerpt per result. Compact text by default; pass format='json' for full structured data incl. all excerpts per result. Use glim_web_fetch(url) for full page content. Matching is semantic, so a query with no real ma
glim_web_fetch	Fetch a single web page and extract clean content. Auto-tier server-side: handles SSR (Next.js, Nuxt, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube), SPA shells, PDFs, paywall detection, residential-proxy escalation, and stealth profiles for TikTok / Instagram / Pinterest / YouTube. Returns clean markdown (default) wi
glim_github_search	Search GitHub repositories, conversations (issues+PRs), discussions, or code, with full GitHub search syntax in the query: qualifiers (repo:, org:/user:, language:, path:, symbol:, content:, is:, stars:, label:, sort:stars), boolean AND/OR/NOT with parentheses, "exact strings", and /regex/. kind='re
glim_github_get	Fetch GitHub data from a single ref. GitHub URL or 'owner/repo' shorthand. A repo URL or owner/repo returns metadata + README; /pull/N -> PR (with comments + changed files), /issues/N -> issue, /discussions/N -> discussion (with threaded replies), /blob/<ref>/<path> -> file (raw.githubusercontent.co
glim_amazon_search	Pass exactly ONE of {query} or {category_slug}. Searches Amazon (com\|co.uk\|de\|fr\|es\|it) and returns ranked hits with buybox price (gross + VAT-excluded net), ratings, review counts, and ASINs. Drill down with glim_amazon_get(ref). Set sort_by='most_reviewed' (with min_reviews to filter junk) for a t
glim_amazon_get	Fetch Amazon product detail from a full product URL (the marketplace - com\|co.uk\|de\|fr\|es\|it - is read from the URL host; pass the url field from a glim_amazon_search result, or any /dp/<ASIN> page URL). Returns title, buybox price (gross + VAT-excluded net), stock, delivery estimate, rating, top re
glim_youtube_get	Fetch a YouTube video transcript from a video URL or 11-char id. The transcript is cleaned server-side: deduplicated, tags/HTML stripped, with coarse [m:ss] timestamps - roughly a tenth the size of the raw captions. Default format='text' returns it inline (when it fits ~40K chars / ~10K tokens) so a
glim_telegram_search	Search Telegram: discovers public channels by name/topic (directory lookup) and finds indexed public post/channel pages (semantic web index scoped to t.me). Telegram has no global full-text search, so treat results as discovery: find the right channel here, then use glim_telegram_get(ref=<handle>) f
glim_telegram_get	Fetch a public Telegram channel or post - no account or API key involved. Channel refs (@handle, handle, t.me URL) return channel info + recent posts newest-first with views, reactions, media, polls, and link previews; pass query to search within the channel's full history, and page older posts with

glim.sh

Live data for any agent.

One remote MCP endpoint gives your agent live data from Twitter/X, Reddit, the open web, GitHub, Amazon, YouTube, and public Telegram channels, plus AI-text detection. No API keys, no scraping stack - connect the URL and pay per call.

Quick Start

# claude.ai - one click
open "https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=glim&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fglim.sh%2Fmcp"

# Claude Code
claude mcp add -s user -t http glim https://glim.sh/mcp

# Claude Code plugin (MCP server + usage skill, auto-updates)
claude plugin marketplace add glim-sh/glim-mcp
claude plugin install glim@glim

# Codex
codex mcp add glim --url https://glim.sh/mcp

# OpenCode (interactive: choose remote, paste the URL)
opencode mcp add

# Agent skill (any skills-aware agent)
npx skills add https://glim.sh --yes

# No account? Pay per call from a local crypto wallet (x402)
npx x402-proxy mcp add glim https://glim.sh/mcp

Any other MCP client: add the endpoint to your config.

  "mcpServers": {
    "glim": {
      "url": "https://glim.sh/mcp"
    }
  }
}

On first use the client runs a browser OAuth sign-in. Manage your balance at glim.sh/app. The wallet path needs no account at all: calls auto-pay USDC (Base or Solana) on x402 challenges; MPP on Tempo is accepted on the same endpoint.
