Glean OpenVSX Extension

March 13, 2026 · View on GitHub

Brings Glean's AI-powered search and knowledge tools directly into Cursor, Windsurf, and Antigravity, so you can find company information without leaving your editor.

Configuration

The extension needs a Glean MCP server URL to connect to. It looks for this in the following order, using the first valid URL it finds:

  1. Extension setting — Set Glean: Mcp Server Url in your editor's settings page (Settings > Extensions > Glean). When set, this takes priority over all config files.
  2. System config file (MDM-managed) — Placed by your IT admin via an MDM script (Jamf, Intune, etc.). This is the typical setup for managed devices and requires no action from the user.
    PlatformPath
    macOS/Library/Application Support/Glean MDM/mcp-config.json
    Windows%PROGRAMDATA%\Glean MDM\mcp-config.json
    Linux/etc/glean_mdm/mcp-config.json
  3. User config file — For non-managed or development scenarios, place a config file at ~/.glean_mdm/mcp-config.json.

Config files use the following format:

{
  "serverName": "glean-default",
  "url": "https://your-instance.glean.com/mcp/default"
}
