How to Set Up and Use Remote
Glean Remote MCP Server is an enterprise-grade remote MCP server that connects AI assistants and coding tools like Claude, Cursor, and other LLM platforms to an organization's internal knowledge base via Glean's enterprise search platform. It provides permission-aware access to company documents, wikis, code repositories, and people directories — ensuring that only data the authenticated user is authorized to see is surfaced. Teams use it to bring institutional knowledge directly into AI-assisted workflows without exposing data outside existing access controls.
Prerequisites
- Glean Enterprise subscription with the MCP server feature enabled
- Organization-specific Glean MCP server URL (provided by your Glean administrator)
- OAuth 2.0 authentication configured via your organization's SSO provider
- Claude Desktop, Cursor, or another MCP-compatible client
Obtain your organization's Glean MCP server URL
Contact your Glean administrator to get your organization's unique MCP server URL. Each Glean tenant has a dedicated endpoint that incorporates your organization's identity.
Add the server to your MCP client config
Add the Glean remote MCP server to your Claude Desktop or other MCP client configuration using the URL provided by your administrator. Authentication is handled via OAuth.
{
"mcpServers": {
"glean": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://your-org.glean.com/mcp"
}
}
}Authenticate via SSO
On first connection, the Glean MCP server will redirect you through your organization's SSO provider (e.g., Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace). Complete the authentication flow in your browser.
Restart your MCP client
After authentication, restart your MCP client so it picks up the authenticated session. Subsequent connections should use the stored OAuth token.
Verify access to company knowledge
Ask Claude a question about your organization's internal documentation. The Glean server will search your company's knowledge base and return results that respect your access permissions.
Remote Examples
Client configuration
Replace 'your-org.glean.com' with your organization's actual Glean MCP server URL provided by your Glean administrator.
{
"mcpServers": {
"glean": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://your-org.glean.com/mcp"
}
}
}Prompts to try
Use these prompts to search your company knowledge base through Claude with Glean MCP.
- "Search our internal docs for the onboarding process for new engineers"
- "Who is the subject matter expert for our Kubernetes infrastructure?"
- "Find the latest company policy on remote work and summarize the key points"
- "What is our standard API authentication pattern according to our internal wiki?"
- "Find the design doc for the payment service rewrite from last quarter"Troubleshooting Remote
Authentication fails or SSO redirect does not complete
Ensure your organization's Glean MCP feature is enabled and your account is provisioned. Contact your Glean administrator to verify the MCP server URL and that OAuth 2.0 is configured for your SSO provider.
Search returns no results for internal content
Glean respects your organization's access controls — if you don't have permission to view a document, it won't appear in results. Verify you can find the content in the Glean web UI. If so, the MCP server should surface it as well.
MCP client cannot connect to the Glean server URL
Confirm the URL is correct with your Glean administrator. Some organizations require VPN access or IP allowlisting to reach the Glean endpoint. Ensure your MCP client is running with network access to your organization's Glean instance.
