Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Glama MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Glama to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Standardize MCP discovery in VS Code Copilot
Commit your server list using `glama_list_mcp_servers` to keep the team in sync. By using the directory as a single source of truth, every developer gets the same tools. Use `glama_get_mcp_server_info` to define the configuration in your `.vscode/mcp.json` file. It ensures the whole org installs the exact same version of every tool.
Proxy model requests through the Glama gateway
Invoke `glama_run_gateway_chat` to route your Copilot interactions through the Glama infrastructure. It provides a consistent model interface for your entire engineering team. Verify model performance with `glama_get_gateway_model_details`. It gives you the exact specs for every model available in the gateway proxy.
Report team usage via Glama telemetry
Call `glama_send_telemetry` to log how your team uses specific tools. This provides visibility into which servers are actually driving value in your codebase. Use `glama_get_mcp_attributes` to categorize these tools by function. It keeps your registry clean and organized for enterprise-wide usage.
