Glean

The Condens MCP Server lets you bring your research directly into Glean Assistant. Use it to ask questions about your insights alongside the rest of your company's knowledge, without switching tools.

Connecting Condens to Glean via MCP is available in the Enterprise plan.

Before you start, you will need:

  • A Glean account with an Admin or App and Action Creator role to create actions.

  • A Condens account with Admin access to enable the MCP Server for your workspace

Stage 1: Create a new MCP server in Glean

  1. Go to Admin Console > Platform > Actions tab in Glean, and then click Create New Action.

  2. Click the Configuration tab, in which you will:

    1. Add MCP server name

    2. Add a description

    3. Enter the MCP Server URL.

    4. Select Streaming HTTP as Transport type.

    5. Choose the Dynamic client registration as the Authentication method.

  3. Next, click on the Initiate connection button to Connect to server.

  4. You'll be redirected to a new browser tab saying the app could not be authorized. This is expected: the page is showing you the Redirect URI you will need a bit later, so please copy it and keep this tab open.

Stage 2: Add a new MCP client in Condens

  1. Open Condens in a new tab, and then go to Settings > Account > API & MCP Server.

  2. Click on Add MCP Client.

  3. Configure your custom MCP:

    1. Add a Client name and Description, and upload a logo.

    2. Paste the Redirect URI from Step 5. Optionally, you can add a wildcard to your Redirect URI. For example: http://your-company.glean.com/tools/oauth/verify_code would turn into http://your-company.glean.com/tools/oauth*, so that it works with anything that comes after this prefix.

    3. Set which users, roles, or user groups this MCP client is Available for. Once the client is configured, these users will be able to connect to this MCP client via their own account.

    4. Once you're done, click on Create.

Stage 3: Finalize the setup in Glean

  1. Go back to the authorization tab from Step 5. Reload the page, and then click Continue to authorize the app.

    You will get a confirmation that you have successfully connected to Condens and will see the status updated to Connected.

  2. At the bottom of the Configure tab is the option to Enable actions. Click on it.

  3. Configure these settings as you wish, and make sure to click on Save — this is what makes actions usable for selected teammates.

    If you then check the Actions tab, you will see the status updated to Enabled.

  4. As a final step, click on Save in the top right corner.

You can test the connection by starting a new chat and asking a question relating to Condens or data in your research repository.

Any teammate using this MCP server for the first time in Glean will be prompted to Connect their account individually. Once connected, they can continue querying Condens directly from Glean.
