Live data for any agent.

One remote MCP endpoint gives your agent live data from Twitter/X, Reddit, the open web, GitHub, Amazon, and YouTube. No API keys, no scraping stack - connect the URL and pay per call.

https://glim.sh/mcp

Quick Start

# claude.ai - one click
open "https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=glim&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fglim.sh%2Fmcp"

# Claude Code
claude mcp add -s user -t http glim https://glim.sh/mcp

# Claude Code plugin (MCP server + usage skill, auto-updates)
claude plugin marketplace add glim-sh/glim-mcp
claude plugin install glim@glim

# Codex
codex mcp add glim --url https://glim.sh/mcp

# OpenCode (interactive: choose remote, paste the URL)
opencode mcp add

# Agent skill (any skills-aware agent)
npx skills add https://glim.sh --yes

# No account? Pay per call from a local crypto wallet (x402)
npx x402-proxy mcp add glim https://glim.sh/mcp

Any other MCP client: add the endpoint to your config.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "glim": {
      "url": "https://glim.sh/mcp"
    }
  }
}

On first use the client runs a browser OAuth sign-in. Manage your balance at glim.sh/app. The wallet path needs no account at all: calls auto-pay USDC (Base or Solana) on x402 challenges; MPP on Tempo is accepted on the same endpoint.
