How to Use the Glama MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline use Glama to find tools for a specific coding task?

Yes, Cline uses glamalistmcpservers to search the directory when it needs a tool it doesn't have. It then reads the integration instructions to set up the tool autonomously.

Q: How does Cline interact with the Glama gateway models?

Cline calls glamagetgatewaymodels to fetch the list of supported LLMs. It then routes code generation or debugging prompts through glamarungatewaychat as needed.

Let Cline browse the Glama registry and execute tasks across different gateway models.

Let Cline find and install new MCP servers

When you ask Cline to build a feature requiring an external API, it queries `glama_list_mcp_servers` to locate a matching MCP server. It then pulls down the exact parameters with `glama_get_mcp_server_info`. Cline can then modify your local settings file to install the new server. Bypassing manual configuration becomes easy because the agent reads `glama_get_mcp_attributes` to configure the tool parameters correctly.

Proxy Cline tasks through the Glama gateway

Cline can execute complex, multi-step coding jobs by querying `glama_get_gateway_models` to see which LLMs are available. It then routes specific sub-tasks through `glama_run_gateway_chat`. By analyzing model details via `glama_get_gateway_model_details`, Cline matches the job difficulty to the right model. This keeps your local token costs down while maintaining code quality.

Connect Cline to your private hosted servers

If your team hosts private tools, Cline uses `glama_get_hosted_instances` to locate and connect to them securely. This lets the agent write code using your proprietary internal APIs. Once the task is complete, Cline reports execution success using `glama_send_telemetry`. You get clear visibility into which private servers are actually delivering value during coding sessions.
