Knmurphy Glide Api MCP Server

🚀 Glide API MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server for interacting with Glide API (v1 and v2).

🚀 Quick Start

The Glide API MCP Server is a powerful tool designed to interact seamlessly with Glide API v1 and v2. It offers a range of features and tools to manage your Glide applications efficiently.

✨ Features

• API Version Support: Supports both Glide API v1 and v2.
• Secure API Key Handling: Manages API keys securely through environment variables.
• Type - Safe Implementation: Implemented in TypeScript for type safety.
• Comprehensive Error Handling: Provides full - fledged error handling.

📦 Available Tools

• set_api_version: Configure API version and authentication.
• get_app: Retrieve application information.
• get_tables: List application tables.
• get_table_rows: Fetch table data.
• add_table_row: Add a new row.
• update_table_row: Update an existing row.

🔒 Security Settings

1. Environment Variables

The server supports secure configuration through environment variables in the MCP settings file. Add your API credentials to the MCP settings file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "glide-api": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["path/to/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "GLIDE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here",
        "GLIDE_API_VERSION": "v2"  // or "v1" to use v1 API
      }
    }
  }
}

This method keeps the API key secure in the following ways:

• Stores it in the configuration file rather than in the code.
• Prevents it from being included in version control.
• Allows for easy updates without modifying the code.

2. Runtime Configuration

Although environment variables are the recommended way to configure, you can also use the set_api_version tool to set or override the API version and key at runtime:

use_mcp_tool({
  server_name: "glide-api",
  tool_name: "set_api_version",
  arguments: {
    version: "v2",
    apiKey: "your-api-key"
  }
});

Note: Runtime configuration will override any environment variables in the current session.

3. Security Best Practices

1. Never commit API keys to version control.
2. Use environment variables in the MCP settings file.
3. Rotate your API keys regularly.
4. Set appropriate file permissions on the settings file.
