Run a Glif MCP agent and toolkit-enabled chatbot inside a Meshagent Room for fast cloud-based testing and interaction. When the Meshagent Room is closed, the spawned MCP server and chatbot are also removed, ensuring no lingering cloud resources or processes.

​
Environment Variables

For secure and flexible operation, provide the following environment variables:
  • GLIF_IDS: (optional) List of specific Glif IDs to expose. Leave blank to allow all.
  • IGNORE_SAVED_GLIFS: (default “false”) Set to “true” to ignore saved Glif tools on start.
  • GLIF_API_TOKEN: required – Your Glif API token for access.

​
Start Guide

  1. Install Meshagent (with all plugins): 
    pip install "meshagent[all]"
  2. Sign Up and Authenticate:
  3. Start the MCP Server in a Room: 
    meshagent service test --room=test --role=agent \
  --image=meshagent/mcp-glif:latest \
  --env=MESHAGENT_PORT=8001 \
  --env=GLIF_API_TOKEN=your-token-here \
  --env=GLIF_IDS= \
  --env=IGNORE_SAVED_GLIFS=false \
  --port="num=8001 path=/webhook liveness=/ type=meshagent.callable" \
  --name=mcp-glif-service-test
    • Runs the MCP server agent in the test Room. Services are auto-removed when Room closes.
  4. Start the Chatbot in the Room: 
    meshagent chatbot join --room=test --agent-name=mcp-glif --name=mcp-glif --toolkit=mcp-glif
    • Joins a toolkit-enabled chatbot to the Room. Multiple toolkits can be provided.
    • A Room link is displayed in the command output.
  5. Test in Browser:
    • Visit your Room link, send a message to the agent/chatbot, and interact live with the Glif MCP Server tools!

​
Project Level Deployment

Deploy persistent Glif MCP servers and chatbots globally at the project level: they will join every Meshagent Room at creation, ideal for production deployments and seamless multi-room ops. No more manual starts—servers and agents join each Room automatically.

​
Create a Persistent MCP Server Service

meshagent service create --role=agent \
  --image=meshagent/mcp-glif:latest \

  --env=GLIF_IDS= \
  --env=IGNORE_SAVED_GLIFS=false \
  --port="num=8001 path=/webhook liveness=/ type=meshagent.callable" \
  --name=mcp-glif-service

​
Create a Persistent Chatbot Service

meshagent service create \
  --image="meshagent/cli:latest" \
  --port="num=9001 path=/agent liveness=/ type=meshagent.callable participant_name=mcp-glif-chatbot" \
  --env="MESHAGENT_PORT=9001" \
  --name="mcp-glif-chatbot-service" \
