Glue AI can now act as an MCP client, allowing it to integrate with applications that expose an MCP server. When an MCP server is connected to Glue, Glue AI can understand your natural language requests and translate them into API-level operations within your connected applications.
If you’re new to MCP: Model Context Protocol is a new open standard that gives language models a uniform way to access external data and tools. This means Glue AI’s capabilities will automatically expand as the MCP ecosystem expands. .
Glue uses MCP (Model Context Protocol) to connect with third-party applications through a standardized interface.
Glue AI acts as the MCP client, sending requests.
The connected application have an MCP server, which receives and responds to those requests.
To connect an application to Glue, it must have an available MCP server. These come in two forms:
Type
Description
Setup
Examples
Remote Server
Remotely hosted and maintained by a 3rd party app.
Easy
Open Source Community Server
Must be installed and hosted locally on your device.
Difficult
Make real-time queries to your connected app
Trigger actions via natural language (e.g., “Create a new issue in Linear”)
Use the rules you've set for the server to customize how the server is called
Each command requires your confirmation before being executed.
Mention the name of the MCP server you want to take action with
Use clear, very specific instructions
e.g. "Update the status of Issue ID 12345 in Linear to 'In Progress'.”
Break a complicated request into multiple parts
e.g. ask Glue AI first to fetch data, then ask it to take action on the data in a separate request
Avoid asking for multiple actions in a single prompt
Specify the format you want the output to be in, such as a table or list — or better yet, save your preferences in AI Rules!
Here’s how to discover the necessary IDs:

✅
SSE (Server-Sent Events) Transport
✅
Streamable HTTP Transport
❌ Not yet
MCP Client Features
❌ Resources ❌ Prompts ✅ Tools ❌ Sampling ❌ Roots
Figma, Notion, GMail, Hubspot - and more can be found
- Complete collection of reference implementations and community servers
- Curated list of MCP servers
Copy the server’s SSE URL (e.g. ).

Install a proxy like if you have not already
✅ Glue AI is now connected to the app via its MCP server. You will be taken to a details screen where you can (see step 4).
Note: You may need in order to run specific tasks, which you can for future requests.
When connecting a tool via an MCP server, you often need to provide IDs that identify where or how an action should happen — for example, which project, board, database, or repository to create something in. By , you can save yourself the step of manually providing IDs each time — Glue AI will do it for you.
