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.

What You Can Do

For Attorneys

  • List all ongoing cases grouped by assignee and status as a table

  • Which clients have unpaid invoices? Show as a table with client name, amount, and days overdue

  • What tasks are overdue across all my active workflows? Group by workflow

  • Give me a full overview of [client name] — their cases, invoices, and recent payments

For Glade Admins

  • For [Law Firm Name], list all ongoing cases grouped by assignee and status

  • For [Law Firm Name], which clients have unpaid invoices?

  • Compare workflow completion rates across [Firm A] and [Firm B]


Known Limitations

  • Read-only — write actions are planned for a future release.

  • Document reading not fully supported — summaries and metadata are available but full document text may be incomplete.

  • Not all data is accessible — messages, e-signatures, form requests, calendar events, and credit reports are not yet exposed.

  • No memory across conversations — each conversation starts fresh.


Troubleshooting

Issue

Fix

OAuth flow doesn't open

Check that https://mcp.prod.glade.ai is reachable in your browser.

Unauthorized errors on tool calls

Token may have expired. Disconnect and reconnect to re-authenticate.

No data returned for a tool

Confirm you're a member of the workspace you're querying. Use persons_me to check.

Claude Desktop config not working

Ensure Node.js is installed. Run npx mcp-remote https://mcp.prod.glade.ai/mcp to test.

ChatGPT can't find Developer Mode

Look under Settings → Apps → Advanced. Requires Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Edu plan.
