Glassly Miniapp SDK betaThe SDK is in beta, so its APIs may change before general availability.Developing on Mentra Live? We recommend using the Glassly Bluetooth SDK.The developer tools are available in the Glassly App under Settings → Miniapp Developer Settings.Share feedback with an in-app bug report, on Discord, or by email at help@glassly.ai.
TL;DR - Get your AI coding assistant to understand Glassly instantly. Works with Zed, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Claude Code, and more.

​
Why Connect Your AI IDE?

When you connect your AI coding assistant to Glassly docs, it can:
  • Answer questions about the Glassly Miniapp SDK
  • Help you write smart glasses apps faster
  • Look up API references automatically
  • Debug your code with context about how Glassly works

​
MCP Server URL

All setups below use this URL:
This is the docs MCP (SDK reference and guides). It is not the Developer Console.

​
Setup by IDE

​
Zed

Add this to your settings.json (open with Cmd+, or zed: open settings):
Restart Zed and you’re done.
Open the Agent Panel and check the MCP servers indicator in settings. A green dot means the server is active. You can also type / in a chat to see available prompts from the server.

​
Cursor

Add this to your Cursor MCP config file at ~/.cursor/mcp.json (create it if it doesn’t exist):
Then restart Cursor and approve the MCP server if prompted.
You can also create .cursor/mcp.json in your project root to enable Glassly docs only for that project.

​
VS Code (with GitHub Copilot)

VS Code 1.99+ has built-in MCP support with GitHub Copilot.
  1. Open Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P)
  2. Run “MCP: Add Server”
  3. Select “HTTP” as the transport type
  4. Enter URL: https://docs.glassly.ai/mcp
  5. Name it glassly-docs
Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project and add:

​
Windsurf

  1. Open Windsurf Settings (Cmd+, / Ctrl+,)
  2. Search for “MCP” and click to open the Manage Plugins panel
  3. Click “View raw config” to open mcp_config.json
  4. Add the following configuration:
  1. Click Refresh in the Manage Plugins panel
  • macOS: ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
  • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.codeium\windsurf\mcp_config.json

​
Claude Code (CLI)

Run this in your terminal:
Run claude mcp list to see your connected servers. You should see glassly-docs in the list.

​
Other MCP-Compatible Tools

For tools that support remote HTTP MCP servers, use this URL directly:
If your tool only supports command-based local MCP servers, use mcp-remote:

​
Test It Out

After setup, try asking your AI assistant:
  • “How do I display text on smart glasses with Glassly?”
  • “Show me how to use the camera API”
  • “What modules are available on the miniapp session?”
  • “How do I subscribe to transcription in a specific language?”
Your AI should now give you accurate, up-to-date answers using our docs.

​
Troubleshooting

If your setup uses mcp-remote, make sure you have Node.js 18+ installed.
Install Node.js from nodejs.org which includes npm and npx.
Fix your Node.js package permissions with a version manager or npm prefix configuration instead of running downloaded packages with sudo.
