Glif — Claude Code MCP server: media generation and setup
Glif lets an agent create or edit images, video, and audio from a prompt. Connect it when you want to handle media tasks from your coding workflow.
claude mcp add --transport http glif https://glif.app/api/mcpWhat Glif does
Glif connects an agent to a hosted HTTP server. Describe the result you want, and it selects models to create images, video, or audio. It can also transcribe recordings, search the web, and run code. A generation job returns a jobId; the agent can pass it to get_job_status to retrieve links to the finished media.
The bundled skills cover image editing, web visuals, app logos, game assets, and audio or video work. One workflow records an app with Playwright and places the capture in a video template with captions and voiceover. Sign in with a Glif account through OAuth. Media generation uses credits from that account, while reading projects and browsing are free. The skills depend on a connected Glif server.
