+> **Note:** We recommend using the [remote MCP server integrated directly in Glean](https://docs.glean.com/administration/platform/mcp/about-glean-mcp-integration) instead of this local MCP server. The remote server provides a more seamless experience with automatic updates, better performance, and simplified configuration. This local MCP server is primarily intended for experimental and testing purposes.

 The Glean MCP Server is a [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction) server that provides seamless integration with Glean's enterprise knowledge.
