glim_twitter_searchLABSCO SUMMARY
The sources an agent usually cannot reach, behind one URL and a per-call price.
The value is in not assembling seven API relationships and a scraping stack to answer one research question — and the price list is per tool, so the cost of a plan is knowable before you run it. It is a read layer only: nothing here posts, comments or changes anything on the platforms it reads.
What it is
A hosted MCP endpoint that gives an agent live reads from several sources it otherwise cannot reach — social platforms, the open web, code hosting, retail listings, video transcripts and public Telegram channels — plus AI-authorship scoring. There is no scraping stack to run and no per-source API key to obtain.
What you get
- glim_twitter_search and glim_twitter_get — search tweets with advanced operators, or fetch a tweet with its thread context or a user profile by URL, id or handle
- glim_reddit_search and glim_reddit_get — search posts, or pull a post with its comments, a subreddit feed, or a user's activity
- glim_web_search and glim_web_fetch — semantic web search, and clean extraction from server-rendered pages, SPA shells and PDFs
- glim_github_search and glim_github_get — search repositories, conversations or code, and read repo metadata, files, history, PRs and issues
- glim_amazon_search and glim_amazon_get — listings with prices, ratings and ASINs, and product detail by ASIN
- glim_youtube_get — subtitles and transcript for a video id
- glim_telegram_search and glim_telegram_get — discover public channels by name or topic, and read channel posts, in-channel history or a post's discussion comments
- glim_detect_ai — score text for AI authorship with a per-segment breakdown
Requirements
Connect to https://glim.sh/mcp as a remote server; the client runs a browser OAuth sign-in on first use and the balance is managed at glim.sh/app. Calls are priced individually, from $0.002 for a page fetch to $0.015 for a Reddit post with comments. A wallet path needs no account at all: calls auto-pay USDC on Base or Solana against x402 challenges. Narrow the exposed set per session by appending ?tools= to the URL.
Setup effort
One command, then sign in — claude mcp add -s user -t http glim https://glim.sh/mcp, then approve the OAuth sign-in
USE CASES
Finding out what people are saying about a launch
Search X and Reddit for the term, then pull the threads with their replies.
Reading a page an agent's fetcher chokes on
Extract clean text from a JavaScript-rendered page or a PDF.
Researching how a library is actually used
Search code and issues across GitHub, then read the files and PRs behind the hits.
Summarising a talk without watching it
Pull the video's transcript by id and work from the text.
Checking whether a submission was machine-written
Score the text for AI authorship and read the per-segment breakdown.
