Glygen MCP Server
OfficialThis server does not currently have a deployable release on Glama. Follow the repository's setup instructions to install and configure it for your MCP client, including any required credentials and local dependencies.
Using the MCP server remotely
Assuming you have web based access to AI chat such as Claude - https://claude.ai, use the following steps to connect to the remove GlyGen MCP server (https://mcp.glygen.org/mcp). After you login to https://claude.ai
1. Login to https://claude.ai
2. Go to "Settings" --> "Connectors" --> "Add Custom Connector"
3. Put value "Glygen MCP Server" for the name field
4. Put value "https://mcp.glygen.org/mcp" for serverRelated MCP server: OrigeneMCP
Deploying the MCP server on your linux VM
Create MCP container
Run the following command to create the MCP container
$ python3 create_mcp_container.py -s devCreate service for the container
Edit /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker-glygen-mcp-dev.service and place the following content in it.
[Unit]
Description=GlyGen MCP Server Container (dev)
Requires=docker.service
After=docker.service
[Service]
Restart=always
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker start -a running_glygen_mcp_dev
ExecStop=/usr/bin/docker stop -t 2 running_glygen_mcp_dev
[Install]
WantedBy=default.targetThis will allow you to start/stop the container with the following commands, and ensure that the container will start on server reboot.
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl enable docker-glygen-mcp-dev.service
$ sudo systemctl start docker-glygen-mcp-dev.service
$ sudo systemctl stop docker-glygen-mcp-dev.serviceTesting the MCP server
