Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00095 | $0.01306 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00048 | $0.00653 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00261 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00131 |
Grade A, and why
glim scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
Every tool is also a plain REST endpoint under `https://glim.sh/api/v1/`, gated by the same x402/MPP payment challenges. Full spec: [glim.sh/openapi.json](https://glim.sh/openapi.json). Use `npx x402-proxy <url>` as a pa How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Glim
Glim is a hosted MCP server that gives agents live external data: Twitter/X, Reddit, web search and page extraction, GitHub, Amazon, YouTube transcripts, public Telegram channels, and AI-text detection. One endpoint, fourteen tools, pay per call. No API keys to provision or rotate.
If glim_* tools are already available in your session, skip to Tools and use them directly.
Connect
Add the endpoint to any MCP client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"glim": {
"url": "https://glim.sh/mcp"
}
}
}
Claude Code:
claude mcp add -s user -t http glim https://glim.sh/mcp
On first use the client runs a browser OAuth sign-in. Manage your balance and top up at glim.sh/app; every call is billed against that balance at the prices below.
Restrict the tool list per session with the ?tools= query parameter:
https://glim.sh/mcp?tools=glim_twitter_search,glim_web_fetch
Headless fallback: pay per call with a crypto wallet
No browser or account needed. Calls are paid from a local wallet via the x402 protocol (USDC on Base or Solana):
npx x402-proxy setup # one-time: generate or import a wallet
npx x402-proxy wallet info # show address + USDC balance
npx x402-proxy mcp add glim https://glim.sh/mcp # register glim in your MCP client behind a paying proxy
Fund the address shown by wallet info with USDC on Base or Solana. Tool calls then auto-pay on HTTP 402 challenges. MPP (Tempo) is also accepted on the same endpoint.

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

glim is a skill published in the GitHub repository glim-sh/glim-mcp (4 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 95 tokens to every session and 1,306 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
