Connecting to Glade via MCP
Connect your AI assistant to Glade to query your workspace data — customers, tasks, invoices, cases, workflows, and more — directly in natural language.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard, which means Glade works with any MCP-compatible AI client — not just Claude and ChatGPT. The Glade MCP server is live at https://mcp.prod.glade.ai/mcp.
✨ Coming soon: Glade is building G, an AI chat assistant built directly into the Glade dashboard — no external AI client needed. G will have access to all the same Glade data through this MCP server.
📣 This is an early release. Things may be rough around the edges and capabilities are still expanding. We'd love your feedback — please share what's working, what's missing, and what you'd like to see next.

No memory across conversations — each conversation starts fresh.
