MCP Connection

angelchaves

Hi, my team is trying to connect to Glean MCP. We follow the documentation but it is not working.
Specifically, we are trying to connect with VSCode executing this command according to documentation:

npx @gleanwork/mcp-server configure --client vscode --instance <instance-name> --token <token> --workspace

I get this message

Unable to establish a connection to Glean instance: <instance-name>

Troubleshooting tips:

1. Check that the instance name is spelled correctly (e.g. "acme" for acme-be.glean.com)
   • Visit https://app.glean.com/admin/about-glean and look for "Server instance"
2. Verify your internet connection and try again

I follow the troubleshooting tips but still doesnt work. The instance name works for connect with APIs for example, but not with MCP, why?

The token has MCP in its scope definition too.

Hi @angelchaves , thank you for the question. I checked the code and there's a possibility of an issue with the check that validates the Glean instance. I will report the potential issue to the developer platform.
