## About

# Globus MCP Server

The Globus [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) Server enables LLM applications to interact
with [Globus](https://www.globus.org/) services.

## Supported Tools

### [Globus Transfer](https://docs.globus.org/api/transfer/)

- `globus_transfer_list_endpoints_and_collections` - List endpoints and collections the user has
access to
- `globus_transfer_search_endpoints_and_collections` - Use a filter string to search all endpoints
and collections that are visible to the user
- `globus_transfer_submit_task` - Submit a transfer task between two collections
- `globus_transfer_get_task_events` - Get a list of task events
- `globus_transfer_list_directory` - List contents of a directory on a collection

### [Globus Compute](https://docs.globus.org/compute/)

- `globus_compute_list_endpoints` - List endpoints that the user has access to
- `globus_compute_register_python_function` - Register a Python function
- `globus_compute_register_shell_command` - Register a shell command
- `globus_compute_submit_task` - Submit a task to an endpoint
- `globus_compute_get_task_status` - Retrieve the status and result of a task

## Configuration

The following configuration is compatible with most LLM applications that support MCP such as
[Claude Desktop](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/develop/connect-local-servers):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "globus-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["globus-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Limiting Tool Registration

By default, the Globus MCP server registers tools for every service. To register tools for only
specific services, use the `--services` command-line flag:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "globus-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "globus-mcp",
        "--services",
        "compute"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

### Specifying Client Credentials

If you've [registered a client application](https://docs.globus.org/api/auth/developer-guide/#register-app)
in the [Globus web UI](https://app.globus.org/settings/developers/), you can specify the client
credentials via the `GLOBUS_CLIENT_ID` and `GLOBUS_CLIENT_SECRET` environment variables:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "globus-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["globus-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GLOBUS_CLIENT_ID": "...",
        "GLOBUS_CLIENT_SECRET": "..."
      }
    }
  }
}
```
