MCP

Connect Glaido to Claude Code, Codex, or any other MCP client, so an agent can read and change your dictionary, snippets, and settings.

This page is an agent changing Glaido. Custom Tools is the other direction: Glaido calling a tool you added, such as a task manager or a notes app.

Turn on the command line first. The same switch serves Glaido to an agent. Glaido has to be running for a change to go through. The agent can see the tool list before that.

Connect an agent

On Settings > Command line, under Connect an AI agent, pick Claude Code or Codex. Run it for me adds Glaido. You can also copy the command and run it yourself. Start a new session after that.

claude mcp add --scope user glaido -- glaido mcp

What you can ask

Ask the agent to add names to your dictionary, save a snippet, read your formatting rules, change a setting, turn an extension on, or run an extension command. It can also start a custom tool for Command mode.

Adding a word or a new snippet only adds. Nothing is removed or replaced. Removals, a replaced snippet, formatting rules, and setting changes are shown to you first. The agent applies them after you agree.

To let the agent add dictionary words without asking, the Command line page shows an optional snippet for Claude Code or Codex. Snippets, removals, and setting changes still ask.

Read only

glaido mcp --read-only lists the tools that read and refuses every write. Use it when you want an agent to look, not change anything.
