GLM Subagent MCP
Enables Claude Code to use GLM (Zhipu) as a cheap, full-capability subagent for file editing, code generation, and bash commands, with automatic routing between Opus and GLM based on task complexity.

glm-mcp — run GLM as a cheap delegate for your AI coding agent
Use the GLM model (Zhipu / Z.ai) as a ~10× cheaper delegate inside your AI coding tool. Two editions, the same GLM MCP server underneath — pick your editor:

Both editions now share the same primitives — MCP tools + a
GLMsubagent + a PreToolUse auto-routing hook. (Copilot's hook fires on all tool calls and filters internally, since VS Code ignores hook matchers; only Claude's standaloneglm-codefull-GLM launcher has no Copilot analog.) Everything downstream (GLM agent loop, peak-aware routing, cost bias, token cap, usage ledger, dry-run oversight) is the same server, so behavior is identical once a tool runs.
Global vs per-project
- Claude Code installs globally by default (user-scoped MCP server +
~/.claudeagent/hook) — works in every project. - GitHub Copilot — add
--globalto configure every workspace at once (writes VS Code's usermcp.json+settings.json); omit it to set up just the current project:npx glm-mcp-copilot --global --key YOUR_ZAI_KEY
What it does (both editions)
- Offloads well-specified coding work to GLM —
glm_agentlets GLM read/write/edit/run your repo directly, on GLM tokens (~10× cheaper). Your main model orchestrates + verifies. - Peak-aware model picks, a cost bias that keeps GLM the default, a token cap toggle, a usage ledger (proof of GLM tokens), and dry-run oversight (preview a diff before applying).
Requirements
- A Z.ai / Zhipu GLM Coding Plan API key — https://z.ai (the only paid key needed).
- Node.js ≥ 18, plus the editor (Claude Code app, or VS Code + Copilot with agent mode).
