Claude Code Setup

Configure TGlider with Claude Code CLI.

Claude Code

Use stdio for local TGlider setup. Project-scoped servers only run when you are in that project.
claude mcp add --transport stdio tglider --scope project -- npx -y tglider
Global config runs in every Claude Code project. Use this only if you want TGlider available everywhere.
claude mcp add --transport stdio tglider --scope user -- npx -y tglider
The TGlider plugin is published from glidermcp/glidermcp.com and bundles the product skill plus stdio MCP config.
/plugin marketplace add glidermcp/glidermcp.com
/plugin install tglider@glidermcp
TGlider runs on Node.js 24 or newer. The recommended stdio configuration uses npx -y tglider, so a separate global install is optional.
node --version
Configure Claude Code to launch TGlider over stdio. Prefer project/workspace scope when the client supports it so TGlider only starts for JS/TS repositories.
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tglider": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "tglider"]
    }
  }
}
If you prefer Streamable HTTP, start TGlider yourself and point Claude Code at http://localhost:5002/mcp. Use only one tglider entry unless you intentionally want both transports.
# Terminal 1
npm exec -- tglider --transport http --port 5002

# Client endpoint
http://localhost:5002/mcp
Start a new client session and ask which TGlider tools are available. Load a JS/TS workspace with load before using semantic tools.
After starting npm exec -- tglider --transport http --port 5002, add the HTTP endpoint to Claude Code.
claude mcp add --transport http --scope project tglider http://localhost:5002/mcp
After connecting TGlider, add this product-specific instruction to your MCP client system prompt or project instructions so the agent chooses the right tool surface first.
When working in TypeScript or JavaScript workspaces, prefer tglider mcp semantic tools before grep, rg, or find for code navigation and refactoring. Use TGlider for symbols, declarations, references, implementations, exports, package importers, project and dependency topology, diagnostics, callers, outgoing calls, impact analysis, and preview-first rename or refactor planning. Use shell text search only for non-code assets, files outside the loaded workspace, generated output, or after TGlider cannot load or cannot answer the question.
