Verified Safeby gleanwork
Overview
A command-line utility for configuring various MCP (Model Context Protocol) clients (e.g., Cursor, Claude, VS Code) to connect to Glean's MCP servers (local or remote) and to initialize project-level AI coding agent configurations.
Installation

- _SKIP_INSTANCE_PREFLIGHT
Security Notes
The server primarily performs local file system operations (read/write config files, create directories) and executes `npx` commands for `@gleanwork/local-mcp-server` and `mcp-remote`. While `npx` introduces a supply chain risk if the external packages were compromised, this is a standard practice for Node.js CLI tools interacting with companion packages. Credentials (API tokens, instance names, URLs) are handled via CLI flags, environment variables, or `.env` files, following common secure practices. There are no obvious signs of 'eval', code obfuscation, or direct malicious network patterns beyond expected MCP server communication. The `mcp-remote` version is pinned in `package.json` which provides some stability against unexpected updates.
