Introducing MCP in Glean: From connectivity to enterprise-ready actions
Mar 9, 2026
Summary
This post introduces the integration of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) into Glean's agent orchestration platform. It details how MCP enables AI agents to connect to and take actions in enterprise systems. Technical contributions include the development of tool search to narrow down action candidates for models, the use of enterprise memory to capture and surface successful agent execution traces, and the definition of reusable skills as executable markdown specifications for complex workflows. Security enhancements focus on centralized governance of MCP servers, enforcing least-privilege execution for every action, and scanning MCP inputs/outputs for adversarial patterns.
