Hosted by a third party. This MCP server is built and hosted by the vendor, not Runlayer. This guide covers connecting it through Runlayer for governance, policies, and audit.
Connect your AI assistant to Glean for enterprise search, people directory, AI chat, and document retrieval. This is a remote MCP server hosted by Glean — Runlayer proxies requests to Glean’s own MCP endpoint using Streamable HTTP transport.

Troubleshooting

Verify that authentication is correctly configured for your Glean MCP endpoint. Ensure the instance name in the URL matches your Glean deployment subdomain.
Your Glean MCP server may not have permissions for all content types. Contact your Glean admin to adjust permissions.
Check that the content you’re searching for has been indexed by Glean. New content may take time to appear in search results.
