CodeGlide MCP Generator
Transform your existing API source code or specification into fully functional MCP servers with Codeglide
The CodeGlide MCP Generator is a powerful developer-friendly VS Code/Cursor extension that automatically generates Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers from your existing codebase or API specifications. Servers are generated in desired language with security scanning, and ready to connect AI assistants and development tools seamlessly.
Features
One-Click Generation
- Select your source code directory or API specification file
- Choose your target programming language
- Generate production-ready MCP servers instantly
Multi-Language Support
- Go (Default) - Web services, CLI tools, and microservices
- Java - Maven, Gradle projects
- JavaScript - Node.js, React, Vue, Angular projects
- Python - Django, Flask, FastAPI, and other Python frameworks
Security & Quality
- Local Processing - All analysis happens in your local Docker container environment, So code is secure and never leaves machine
- Security Scanning - Automatic vulnerability and credential leak detection
- Production Ready - Generated servers follow MCP standards and best practices
CodeGlide generates consistent, production-ready MCP servers that enhance the agentic capabilities of your applications.
Requirements
- API Codebase - Your existing API source code or OpenAPI/Swagger files
- Docker - Must be installed and running (Download here)
- Cursor IDE or VS Code - Compatible with both editors
How to Use
Start Generation
- Use Command Palette (
Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + P), or
- Right-click source folder, or
- Use the File Explorer context menu
→ Select "Generate MCP Server"
Select Target Language
Choose from Go, Java, JavaScript, or Python
Access Output
Your generated MCP server will be located in:
{project}-codeglide-extension-artifacts
How it works
- Code Analysis - CodeGlide scans and analyzes your source code repository or API specification (whichever you provide), detecting structures, patterns, and potential tools to be exposed.
- MCP Generation - Creates a complete MCP server with proper tool definitions. Ensures the generated server follows MCP standards
- Security Scan - Performs security scan on source code and generated MCP server for credential leaks and vulnerabilities
- Ready to Use - Your MCP server is placed inside the
{project}-codeglide-extension-artifacts and ready to connect to AI assistants. Follow the README.md to start using generated MCP server.
Try the CodeGlide MCP Server
In addition to generating your own MCP servers with the extension, CodeGlide also offers a MCP server with tools that can generate and manage MCP workflows with simple prompts.
Quick Start with mcp.json
Add this snippet into your mcp.json to try out the CodeGlide MCP Server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"codeglide-mcp-server": {
"command": "bash",
"args": [
"-c",
"docker run --pull=always --platform linux/amd64 --rm -i -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -e MCP_CLIENT=$(whoami) -v codeglide-data:/var/codeglide/data ghcr.io/codeglide/extension:latest"
]
}
}
}
Once added, open your AI panel and start using CodeGlide MCP tools instantly.
The extension will also prompt you to enable the CodeGlide MCP Server. Click the button,to auto configure MCP sever and start generating with prompt.
GitHub Actions Integration
CodeGlide provides a GitHub Actions workflow to automate MCP server generation as part of your CI/CD. This ensures that every code change is continuously analyzed, validated, and deployed into production-ready MCP servers.
