Glance MCP

Connect Glance to the agent you already use.

ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor keep the intelligence and the other apps. Glance is the Home Screen: the widget, the layout, and the place to push updates.

Public MCP URL

https://glance-api.fly.dev/mcp

Add Glance

Pick a host. ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor each have a one-click install. The MCP URL above is for advanced setups.

Add to ChatGPT

Glance is in the ChatGPT plugin directory. Install adds the MCP tools and the design skill. Glance is free to connect — a Glance Pro plan only unlocks extra widget capabilities, not the connection itself.

  1. 1Click Install plugin on the Glance listing, or search Glance in ChatGPT → Plugins.
  2. 2Allow Glance on glance.cool when prompted.
  3. 3Ask ChatGPT to create or update a widget, then pin it on iPhone.
Custom MCP connector (Developer Mode)

For power users who prefer a manual connector instead of the directory plugin.

  1. 1Settings → Security and login → turn on Developer mode.
  2. 2Open ChatGPT Plugins and add a connector.
  3. 3Paste https://glance-api.fly.dev/mcp and finish sign-in on Glance.

Add Glance MCP server to Cursor

If the button does not open Cursor, add Glance by hand. Open Cursor Settings → MCP, choose New MCP Server, and paste this into your mcp.json. Save, then sign in on Glance when Cursor prompts you.

Design skill

MCP is the tools. This skill is how the host should design the widget. After you connect, the host can read glance://skills/design. The ChatGPT plugin includes the design skill. Claude and Cursor users can install it below if the host does not load it automatically.

What each side does

Glance

The Home Screen slot, the layout, ingest, and how to pin the widget.

Your host

Jira, Monday, mail, and the hourly jobs they already have. Glance does not need a Jira connector. If the host already connected that app, it pushes into Glance.
