What it does

Glim is a hosted MCP server that gives agents live external data: Twitter/X, Reddit, web search and page extraction, GitHub, Amazon, and YouTube transcripts. One endpoint, eleven tools, pay per call. No API keys to provision or rotate.

The skill document

Glim

If glim_* tools are already available in your session, skip to Tools and use them directly.

Connect

Add the endpoint to any MCP client:

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

Claude Code:

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

On first use the client runs a browser OAuth sign-in. Manage your balance and top up at glim.sh/app; every call is billed against that balance at the prices below.

Restrict the tool list per session with the ?tools= query parameter:

https://glim.sh/mcp?tools=glim_twitter_search,glim_web_fetch

Headless fallback: pay per call with a crypto wallet

No browser or account needed. Calls are paid from a local wallet via the x402 protocol (USDC on Base or Solana):

npx x402-proxy setup                              # one-time: generate or import a wallet
npx x402-proxy wallet info                        # show address + USDC balance
npx x402-proxy mcp add glim https://glim.sh/mcp   # register glim in your MCP client behind a paying proxy

Fund the address shown by wallet info with USDC on Base or Solana. Tool calls then auto-pay on HTTP 402 challenges. MPP (Tempo) is also accepted on the same endpoint.

Usage patterns

Search tools return compact previews. Follow up with the matching *_get tool for full content (glim_reddit_search -> glim_reddit_get, glim_twitter_search -> glim_twitter_get).
Reddit works best with subreddit-scoped queries: subreddit:python async.
Twitter search supports advanced operators (from:, since:, min_faves:, ...). The server exposes a docs://search-operators MCP resource with the full reference.
Large glim_web_fetch pages are truncated inline with a download_full_url link to the complete extraction.
Per-tool pricing is also exposed as the docs://pricing MCP resource.

REST API

Every tool is also a plain REST endpoint under https://glim.sh/api/v1/, gated by the same x402/MPP payment challenges. Full spec: glim.sh/openapi.json. Use npx x402-proxy as a paying curl.
