Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@glean-company-docsWhat's the policy on remote work?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Halcyon Docs Chatbot
Grounded question answering over a local document corpus, built on Glean's Indexing, Search and Chat APIs and exposed as a single MCP tool.
There is no web UI. The chat interface is an MCP client — Cursor, Claude Desktop, or any other.
How it works
data/Halcyon Shared Drive/ -> Indexing API -> Search API -> Chat API -> {answer, sources, diagnostics}Search runs before Chat, and Chat never retrieves: passages are retrieved explicitly and passed in. If nothing clears the relevance floor (term overlap against the question), the answer is an honest "no indexed content found" and Chat is never called.

Setup
Requires Poetry and Python 3.12+.
poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true # keeps the venv at ./.venv
poetry install
cp .env.example .env # then fill in the tokens.env is gitignored. Never commit real tokens.
Variable | Used by | Notes |
| both | SDK builds |
| indexing only | never loaded on the query path |
| search + chat | scope Chat/Search, type Global |
| both | shared sandbox, so this namespaces doc IDs |
| indexing only | corpus root ( |
| search + chat | email to act as; required for Global tokens |
Optional, with defaults: GLEAN_DOC_ID_PREFIX (halcyon), GLEAN_TOP_K (5),
GLEAN_MAX_SNIPPET_SIZE (2000), GLEAN_MIN_TERM_OVERLAP (0.30),
GLEAN_CHAT_TIMEOUT_MS (60000).
The two tokens are separated structurally: Settings.for_indexing() reads
GLEAN_INDEXING_TOKEN, Settings.for_query() reads GLEAN_CLIENT_TOKEN and
never touches the indexing variable.
Usage
poetry run python -m glean_chat_bot # the MCP server, on stdio
poetry run glean-index --dry-run # extract and report, send nothing
poetry run glean-index # extract and bulk-push
poetry run glean-index --process-now # ask Glean to process immediately (1 per 3h)
poetry run pytest # contract tests: no network, no tokens
poetry run pytest -m live # the eval set, against real GleanAdd -v for debug logging.
Indexing is asynchronous: glean-index returns once Glean has accepted the
documents, minutes before they become searchable. Confirm full coverage in the
Glean admin console before relying on the answers.
MCP client configuration

}One tool, ask_company_docs(question, top_k=None, include_citations=True) -> dict,
returning {answer, sources, diagnostics}. diagnostics reports what was
searched and what came back, so the calling model can tell "nothing matched"
from "my phrasing missed" and retry accordingly.
