What is the Glama MCP Server?
Empower your local Vinkius terminal intelligence with the Glama.ai infrastructure bridge. Rather than navigating generic web interfaces to find compatible model contexts, let your core logic intuitively search, index, and introspect external MCP servers on the fly. In addition, harness the power to query multiple standard LLM networks via the Glama API Gateway, consolidating all programmatic text completion requirements cleanly.
What you can do
- MCP Registry Scuba — Seamlessly query
list_mcp_serversandget_mcp_server_infoto find context protocols needed dynamically without interrupting deep-work focus states. - Gateway Proxies — List active LLM models navigating
list_gateway_modelsand push semantic prompts viarun_gateway_chatexecuting parallel logic chains outside local memory. - Matrix Attributes — Uncover standard classification strings with
get_mcp_attributesassessing global MCP logic matrices. - Hosted Telemetry — Scan local instances routing
get_hosted_instancesand actively parse behavior metrics pushing logs throughsend_telemetry.
How it works
- Mount the Glama logic layer inside your Vinkius limits.
- In your Glama settings UI, emit a comprehensive API token. Map it perfectly inside your operating structure cleanly referencing the variable
GLAMA_API_KEY. - Instruct your logic mathematically: "Identify 3 active finance MCPs from the Glama network. Also, extract the context window sizes of Claude using the Gateway module."
Who is this for?
- Architectural DevOps Engineers — Actively retrieve and prototype dynamically executing API models isolating specific protocols avoiding dashboard UI noise entirely.
- Core Financial Analysts — Locate specific enterprise integrations fetching
list_mcp_serversmapping variables simulating external endpoints systematically. - Asymmetric Operations Managers — Extrapolate metric attributes retrieving hosted proxies mapping logic cleanly limiting execution friction.

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Glama data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 8 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
Can I test alternative AI models entirely within the terminal using the Glama integration?
Yes. Tools like glama_get_gateway_models list available OpenAI-compatible proxies, and glama_run_gateway_chat allows your Vinkius agent to run text completions outside itself natively.
Does the Glama server provide telemetry data back to the registry?
Yes. Active MCP usage events can be logged seamlessly applying the glama_send_telemetry tool in specific sequences to inform publishers about proxy executions.
Are private hosted instances queryable?
Yes. By executing glama_get_hosted_instances, your agent limits queries exclusively to private proxies explicitly belonging to your linked environment.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
