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.
