From first test to production

Everything you need once you have picked a server.

  • Test in your browser

    Paste a server URL and debug it in an ephemeral sandbox – list tools, call them, and watch the raw JSON-RPC. No install.

    Open the Inspector
  • Host in one click

    Deploy an open-source server in one click. Glama runs it on dedicated infrastructure and handles the Docker, TLS, and OAuth plumbing.

    Explore hosting
  • Control every call

    One endpoint in front of every server and connector your agents use – with call logs, per-tool access control, and managed OAuth credentials.

MCP questions, answered

What is an MCP server?

An MCP server is a small program that exposes tools, resources, and prompts to an AI client over the Model Context Protocol. It speaks JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio, Server-Sent Events, or Streamable HTTP – and once connected, the AI can call any tool the server defines.

MCP-compatible clients include Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Zed, and JetBrains IDEs. One MCP server works across all of them – you install it once, every client can use it.

Glama indexes every MCP server in the ecosystem – browse by category, search across every tool they expose, or deploy a hosted connector in one click.

What are MCP connectors?

An MCP connector is a pre-configured MCP server you can plug into an AI client in one step. In Claude, ChatGPT, and other clients, any remote MCP server a user has added to their account shows up as a "connector".

A Glama connector goes further. It adds hosting, managed credentials, and per-tool access control on top of the underlying server – so you don't have to run the server, store the tokens, or touch any config. Paste the Glama URL into Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor, and the Glama Gateway does the rest.

How do I add an MCP server to Claude Desktop or Claude Code?

In Claude Desktop, open Settings → Developer → Edit Config – that opens claude_desktop_config.json. Add your server under the mcpServers key using the same command/args/env structure Cursor uses, then quit and relaunch Claude Desktop.

In Claude Code, run claude mcp add <name> <command> from your terminal – it writes the entry to your project's MCP config directly.

Every server on the Glama registry ships with a pre-filled config block for both clients – copy it, paste it, done. To test a server remotely before wiring it up, open the Glama MCP Inspector and point it at the server URL.

How is Glama different from the official MCP registry?

The official MCP Registry is a vendor-neutral index of MCP server metadata maintained by the MCP steering group – the canonical source of truth for publicly published servers.

Glama builds on top of it with much deeper per-connector data and a full control plane:

  • Rich metadata on every connector – health checks, quality scores, security audits, tool schemas with annotations, usage telemetry, license info, and maintainer notes
  • One-click hosting on managed infrastructure
  • Full observability and control over every call – JSON-RPC logging, per-tool access control, managed OAuth credentials, and usage analytics

Use the official registry for vendor-neutral metadata. Use Glama when you need depth, observability, and control over production MCP traffic. See our indexing methodology for the full technical description of how every server in the Glama registry is built, introspected, audited, and scored.
