What it does
Glif is a creative agent: you describe what to make and it picks the models and does the work with images, video and audio. It also transcribes speech, renders HTML, searches the web, runs code and chains multi-step media jobs. The server is hosted at glif.app and its code is closed. The repository holds a plugin for Claude, Codex, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Copilot and Gemini CLI, the registry description of the server and public skills: images and logos, icon sets, app promo materials, demo videos, game assets, image editing and audio work. The address is `https://glif.app/api/mcp`, the transport is Streamable HTTP, and sign-in uses OAuth 2.1 or a `glif_v1_...` key.
Who it is for. Web and app developers who need illustrations, icons, promo materials and clips straight from an agent session.
Good fit when
- For a site under construction the agent makes a hero image, a texture and an OG image and wires them into the page
- The agent creates a logo and exports a favicon set with PWA, iOS and Android sizes
- From real app screens the agent builds App Store screenshots and a launch post
- For a demo the agent records a video of the app with the skill script
Not a fit when
- You need a fully open, self-hosted pipeline: the server is hosted at glif.app and its code is closed
- You need generation at no cost: jobs spend Glif account credits
- The old local stdio server `@glifxyz/glif-mcp-server` is deprecated and its code is parked on the `legacy-local-server` branch
Example request
Make a hero image for my app landing page in a calm palette, save it to the public folder and wire it into the hero blockMCP

Environment variables
glif_v1_keysecret- Glif API key from the api-tokens page for clients without OAuth, sent as a bearer token
Limitations
The server is hosted at glif.app and works only with a Glif account, and its code is closed. Generation spends credits, and the `get-started` skill shows the account and balance and creates nothing. The first connection opens a browser sign-in over OAuth 2.1, and plain HTTP clients can use a `glif_v1_...` key from glif.app/settings/api-tokens. Skills installed separately with `npx skills add glifxyz/glif-mcp-server` do not work without the server connected. The old local package `@glifxyz/glif-mcp-server` is deprecated.
How to disable. Remove the plugin and the server from the client (`claude mcp remove glif`) and revoke the key on the api-tokens page in Glif settings.
FAQ
How do I install Glif in Claude Code?
Run `claude plugin marketplace add glifxyz/glif-mcp-server`, then `claude plugin install glif@glif` and sign in with `/mcp`. For the server alone without skills `claude mcp add --scope user --transport http glif https://glif.app/api/mcp` is enough.
Which skills ship with the plugin?
Ten: `get-started`, `make-images`, `edit-images`, `web-visuals`, `app-icons-and-logos`, `app-promo-materials`, `app-demo-videos`, `game-assets`, `audio-and-video` and `continue-project`.
Do I need a Glif account?
Yes, sign-in uses OAuth 2.1 with your account. Plain HTTP clients send a `glif_v1_...` key as a bearer token.
Where is the server code?
The server code is closed and runs at glif.app. The repository holds the plugin, the skills and the server description for the registry.
What happened to the old local server?
The `@glifxyz/glif-mcp-server` package is deprecated and its code is kept on the `legacy-local-server` branch. New installs use the hosted server.
