Quick Start

Get Glider MCP running in minutes.

Prerequisites

  • .NET 10.0 SDK or later
  • An MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)

1. Install Glider

dotnet tool install --global glider

2. Verify Installation

# List installed tools
dotnet tool list -g

# The tool path should be in your PATH
# macOS/Linux: ~/.dotnet/tools
# Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.dotnet\tools

3. Configure Your AI Client

See the Installation section for client-specific instructions.

4. Start Using

Once configured, you can ask your AI assistant:

"Load the solution at /path/to/MySolution.sln"
"Load the solution at /path/to/MySolution.slnx"
"Load the solution at /path/to/MySolution.sln with file watching in /path/to/workspace"
"Use search_symbols with query *Service and kinds Type to find all service classes"
"What methods does IUserRepository define?"
"Resolve the Login method and then find_references for the selected symbolKey"
"I changed some files on disk. Sync the documents to see the latest changes."

Notes

In stdio mode, glider waits for MCP input and is intentionally quiet by default. Use glider --verbose if you want startup output/logs (written to stderr).

Update to Latest

dotnet tool update --global glider
