How to Use the Glean MCP in Mastra AI
Build resilient, multi-step enterprise search workflows with Mastra AI and the Glean MCP Server.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Glean MCP to Mastra AI
Create your Vinkius account to connect Glean to Mastra AI and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Build branching search workflows using Mastra AI
The `search_datasource` tool pulls structural properties and account logic from Glean to drive complex decision trees in your Mastra AI agents. If a search query returns empty, your workflow can automatically branch to check alternative datasources or alert an administrator. You register the Glean MCP Server tools inside your Mastra agent configuration with a simple URL pointer. The workflow engine handles the execution, letting you map output data directly to conditional steps without writing custom state machines.
Automate document indexing with built-in retries
The `index_document` tool handles the ingestion of custom files into your Glean search index using native gateway authentication. Mastra AI wraps this tool in its workflow engine, meaning if the Glean API hits a rate limit, the system retries the upload with exponential backoff automatically. This setup ensures your documentation sync never fails silently. You can queue up hundreds of files, and Mastra will process them sequentially, managing the rate limits and auth states in the background.
Verify employee profiles with human approvals
The `search_people` tool queries your corporate directory inside Glean to find specific employee profiles and customer bindings. When integrated with Mastra AI, you can configure `requireToolApproval` to force a human review before your agent sends sensitive directory information to external APIs. This creates a secure boundary for your internal operations. The Mastra agent halts execution, waits for your OK in the console, and then proceeds with the verified profile data.
