# Connect AI Glot with MCP

MCP lets an AI assistant inspect and organise your AI Glot workspace through explicit tools and permissions.

## Choose a server

| Server        | URL                                | Best for                                                                          |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Standard MCP  | `https://mcp.ai-glot.com/mcp`      | Broad client compatibility and visible task-shaped tools                          |
| MCP Code Mode | `https://mcp.ai-glot.com/mcp/code` | Agents that can search the API contract and execute bounded multi-step JavaScript |

Start with the standard server. Code Mode is an advanced alternative, not a required upgrade.

## Authentication

OAuth 2.1 is recommended. The client opens AI Glot, you choose the workspace and approve scopes, and the resulting connection is limited by your member access. API-key bearer authentication is also supported for clients or bridges that need it.

## Connect a client

**Claude**

In Claude or Claude Desktop, open **Settings → Connectors**, choose **Add custom connector**, paste `https://mcp.ai-glot.com/mcp`, then connect and approve access in AI Glot. Team and Enterprise workspaces may require an owner to add the organization connector first.

**ChatGPT**

Custom MCP apps currently use ChatGPT developer mode. An eligible workspace admin enables developer mode, opens **Settings → Apps → Create**, supplies `https://mcp.ai-glot.com/mcp`, scans the tools and completes OAuth. Availability and approval controls depend on the ChatGPT plan.

**Cursor**

Add a remote Streamable HTTP server in Cursor's MCP settings or `.cursor/mcp.json`, using `https://mcp.ai-glot.com/mcp`, then complete OAuth. Project config lives at `.cursor/mcp.json`; global config lives at `~/.cursor/mcp.json`.

**stdio-only client**

Install the AI Glot CLI, authenticate it, then configure the client to run `aiglot mcp`. The CLI bridges local stdio to the remote HTTP server.

Client interfaces and plan availability change independently of AI Glot. For the latest UI, use the official [Claude connector guide](https://support.anthropic.com/en/articles/11175166-about-custom-integrations-using-remote-mcp), [ChatGPT MCP guide](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/12584461-developer-mode-and-full-mcp-connectors-in-chatgpt), or [Cursor MCP guide](https://docs.cursor.com/context/model-context-protocol).
