Glim
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.
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
npx x402-proxy wallet info
npx x402-proxy mcp add glim https://glim.sh/mcp
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 <url> as a paying curl.
