Public preview. Mint a token at /settings/api-tokens. Staff accounts may be blocked on some preview branches because they share production data.

What you can build

Use the same core platform that powers Glif chats, packaged for product integrations, automation scripts, internal tools, and agent runtimes.

Project-based media generation

Compose durable Glif projects from natural language and let Glif pick models, run tools, and return media links.

Assets and media

Upload files to use as references, and read a project's generated media and recent messages with get_project.

User-owned skills

List and load the authenticated user's personal skills without exposing global Glif skills.

Quickstart

List the available tools, then call one. Replace $GLIF_TOKEN with a token from /settings/api-tokens.

curl https://glif.app/api/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GLIF_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"compose_project","arguments":{"prompt":"a watercolor fox in a snowy forest"}}}'

Wire format

The API uses JSON-RPC 2.0 so every function can share one authenticated endpoint and one response shape. A function call is always method="tools/call" with params.name and params.arguments.

Call tools/list for the authoritative, machine-readable input/output schema of every tool. The OpenAPI spec documents the endpoint and tool set for API-catalog tooling.
