io.github.glidermcp/glider MCP Server

io.github.glidermcp/glider

Roslyn-powered C# code analysis and refactoring for AI agents via MCP.

What is the io.github.glidermcp/glider MCP server?

Glider is a Roslyn-powered MCP server that enables LLMs to navigate, analyze, edit, and refactor C#/.NET code. It supports both stdio and HTTP transports and integrates with Claude Code and Codex through plugins.

Glider provides local C#/.NET code analysis and manipulation capabilities for coding agents. It leverages Roslyn to understand code structure, offer diagnostics, and perform refactorings—all processed locally without sending code to external providers. Use it to give AI agents deep understanding of C# projects for navigation, debugging, and automated code improvements.

Plugins and configuration

This repository provides plugins for Claude Code and Codex:

Install the server required by your chosen plugin first. Glider, GliderTrace, and Scout plugins launch an installed executable. The TGlider plugin launches through npx and requires Node.js/npm. It does not require Scout.

After installing Glider, connect its plugin with your chosen client:

Claude Code

claude plugin marketplace add glidermcp/glidermcp
claude plugin install glidermcp@glidermcp

Codex CLI

codex plugin marketplace add glidermcp/glidermcp
codex plugin add glidermcp@glidermcp

Start a new Codex session after installation. See the Codex plugin guide for details. For another product, replace the plugin name before @ with tglider, scout, or glider-trace.

For direct MCP configuration, use the configuration templates. Keep your existing client configuration and add only the servers you need.

Price and privacy

The products will always be free for non-commercial use. Commercial use is free for now. Each local server package expires one month after release and must be updated. See pricing and license terms.

Servers process code locally. Your MCP client controls what returned content reaches its model provider. See privacy and telemetry for product data policies and controls.
