SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Getting current, cited answers about fast-moving topics requires manually searching the web, X/Twitter, Reddit, GitHub, Amazon, and YouTube, then stitching sources together. This Skill runs that entire sweep through the glim.sh MCP server and returns a synthesized digest with traceable citations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-platform live research: Web search, full-page extraction, and platform-native access to X/Twitter, Reddit, GitHub, Amazon, and YouTube transcripts through mcp__glim__* tools.
  • Bounded pay-per-call spend: Every call draws from the operator's prepaid glim balance, capped at 10 tool calls per run (25 with --deep), with explicit handling for auth failures and insufficient balance.
  • Cited digest delivery: Produces a 2-3 sentence answer, evidence grouped by sub-question, and a clickable Sources list delivered via a single ./notify call.
  • Use Case: Ask "what are people saying about MCP servers this week" and receive a synthesized digest of current HN, Reddit, and X discussion with source URLs for every claim.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to research a topic using the glim MCP, for example: pull the top HN and Reddit takes on a subject of your choice.

Frequently Asked Questions about glim-mcp

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I research a topic with live web and social data?▼

Pass a research question as the skill input and it plans 2-4 sub-questions, then calls glim MCP tools for web search, page extraction, and platform data from X, Reddit, GitHub, Amazon, or YouTube. The result is a cited digest delivered via notify.

What platforms can the glim MCP search?▼

The glim.sh MCP server provides web search, full-page extraction, and platform-native access to X/Twitter, Reddit, GitHub, Amazon, and YouTube transcripts. The exact tool list is discovered from the connected server at runtime.

How do I connect the glim MCP server?▼

Connect it from the dashboard MCP panel using the one-click Connect button, which runs OAuth with offline access. Tokens are stored as MCP_GLIM_TOKEN and MCP_GLIM_OAUTH and refreshed each run by the oauth refresh script.

Why does the glim MCP return authentication or balance errors?▼

A 401 or invalid-token response means the OAuth refresh failed and the server must be reconnected in the dashboard. Payment-required errors mean the prepaid glim balance is empty and the account needs a top-up before more calls.

What are the limits on glim MCP research runs?▼

Each run is capped at 10 tool calls, or 25 with the --deep flag, because every call spends real prepaid balance. When the budget is spent the skill synthesizes from results already fetched rather than making extra calls.
