Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Glean works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Glean to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Glean, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Glean. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions Glean owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect my Glean data to my AI client?

    You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and provide your Glean API Token from your Admin Console. Once connected, you can use it in any compatible client like Claude or Cursor.

  • 02

    Which apps can this MCP search?

    It searches across all your connected Glean data sources, including Slack, Confluence, Google Drive, and Jira.

  • 03

    Can I limit my search to just one app?

    Yes, you can use the search by datasource capability to focus your query on a specific platform like Slack or Jira.

  • 04

    Is my data secure?

    The MCP uses your existing Glean credentials and API tokens to access your data, maintaining your organization's established security boundaries.

  • 05

    Can the AI find specific people in my company?

    Yes, the search people capability allows your agent to find employees by name, role, department, or expertise.

  • 06

    Can I search across multiple data sources like Confluence, Slack, and Google Drive simultaneously?

    Yes! The search capability queries all connected data sources in a single request. If you want to narrow results to a specific platform, use search_by_datasource with the datasource name (e.g., 'Confluence', 'Slack', 'Google Drive'). Use autocomplete to get intelligent suggestions as you refine your query.

  • 07

    Can I ask the Glean AI assistant questions about my organization's knowledge?

    Yes. The chat capability sends a natural language question to Glean's AI assistant, which generates an answer grounded in your organization's indexed knowledge. including documents, wikis, Slack conversations, and Jira tickets. This is ideal for getting synthesized answers rather than just search results.

  • 08

    Can I index custom documents into Glean programmatically?

    Yes. Use index_document to add a single document with a JSON payload containing title, body, URL, and metadata. For large batches, use bulk_index_documents to index multiple documents in one request. Use delete_document to remove outdated content and get_document to verify indexing status.
