Usage

Prerequisites

First, get a Cloudglue API Key from cloudglue.dev, this will be used to authenticate the MCP server with your Cloudglue account.

A. On any MCP client using a JSON configuration

Most MCP clients store their configuration as JSON. For cloudglue-mcp-server this would look like the following:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloudglue": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@cloudglue/cloudglue-mcp-server@latest",
        "--api-key",
        "<CLOUDGLUE-YOUR-API-KEY>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace <CLOUDGLUE-YOUR-API-KEY> with the API Key created earlier.

B. On Claude Desktop using Desktop Extensions

1. Download the latest Cloudglue Claude Desktop Extension from the releases page
2. Double click to open with Claude Desktop (you need to have Claude Desktop running prior to this)
3. Click 'Install'
4. When prompted, enter your API key
5. Enable the extension

Local Development

Prerequisites

First, get a Cloudglue API Key from cloudglue.dev, this will be used to authenticate the MCP server with your Cloudglue account.

Build the server

1. Clone the repo
2. Install dependencies using npm install
3. Build the server + Claude Desktop Extension using npm build

Configure your MCP client

Next, configure your MCP client (such as Cursor) to use this server. Most MCP clients store the configuration as JSON in the following format:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloudglue-mcp-server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/cloudglue-mcp-server/build/index.js",
        "--api-key",
        "<CLOUDGLUE-YOUR-API-KEY>"
      ]
    }
  }
}
