About glider
Glider is a Roslyn-powered MCP server for coding agents working with C# and .NET. It provides code navigation, diagnostics, analysis, editing, and refactoring through independently connected product packages.
Key features
- 01Navigate C# and .NET code
- 02Inspect diagnostics and analyze code
- 03Edit and refactor code
- 04Connect product packages independently
Use cases
- 01Find code locations in a C# project
- 02Review compiler diagnostics
- 03Make code edits and refactors
MCP support
Glider connects to MCP clients as an independently installed server product. Its plugin can bundle the server connection with skills.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

Plugins and skills
This repository provides plugins for Claude Code and Codex:
- Glider plugin
- TGlider plugin
- Scout plugin
- JGlider preview plugin
- Keep skill-only plugin
- GliderTrace plugin
We recommend the skill for each product you use. Server plugins bundle skills with their MCP connection.
The Keep plugin supplies only a skill; connect one shared Keep HTTP server separately.
Glider and GliderTrace plugins require the .NET 10 SDK and NuGet access. They select the latest stable package at each server start.
TGlider and Scout plugins use npx with @latest; a global installation is optional.
JGlider uses npx -y --ignore-scripts jglider@next and requires Node.js 24+ and JDK 21+.
TGlider requires Node.js 24+; Scout requires Node.js 18+ and npm optional dependencies. TGlider does not require Scout.
For a new Glider connection, install 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, glider-trace, jglider, or keep.
Restart the MCP server to select an updated .NET package. A running process keeps its current version. For Glider, we recommend project preload with an explicit solution path.
For an existing manual MCP connection, install only the skill to keep your configuration. Use the migration instructions to replace an older global .NET launcher. Choose one connection per product; remove or disable a manual entry before enabling its server plugin. Keep is the exception: retain your existing HTTP connection because its skill-only plugin registers no server.
For substantial Claude Code tasks, use the bundled C# specialist and runtime verifier. The TypeScript specialist and Java specialist provide the same focused workflow. These agents give the work explicit product guidance. Small tasks can use the skills directly.
Price and privacy
The products will always be free for non-commercial use. Commercial use is free for now. Future packages will expire 90 days after release. Existing packages retain their embedded expiry date. Update before expiry. 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.
Support and contributions
Open an issue and select the affected product or website. Documentation corrections, configuration fixes, and feature requests are welcome. See contribution guidance.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
