Glide Api MCP Server

🚀 Glide API MCP Server

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

🚀 Quick Start

The Glide API MCP Server is designed to interact with the .Glide API. It provides a set of tools to perform various operations on Glide applications.

✨ Features

• Supports both v1 and v2 versions of the .Glide API.
• Securely handles API keys through environment variables.
• Implemented in type-safe TypeScript.
• Comprehensive error handling.

📦 Available Tools

• set_api_version: Configure the 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 Configuration

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 the v1 API
      }
    }
  }
}

This method ensures security in the following ways:

• Stores keys in the configuration file rather than in the code.
• Avoids including keys in version control.
• Facilitates updates without modifying the code.

2. Runtime Configuration

Although environment variables are the recommended configuration method, 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 overrides environment variables in the current session.

3. Security Best Practices

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

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

1. Get Application Information

use_mcp_tool({
  server_name: "glide-api",
  tool_name: "get_app",
  arguments: {
    appId: "your-app-id"
  }
});

2. Add a Table Row

use_mcp_tool({
  server_name: "glide-api",
  tool_name: "add_table_row",
  arguments: {
    appId: "your-app-id",
    tableId: "your-table-id",
    values: {
      column1: "value1",
      column2: "value2"
    }
  }
});
