---# Glean expands MCP server directory by 182 templates

> Glean added 182 vendor Model Context Protocol (MCP) server templates to its platform on September 22, 2026, and consolidated all new MCP connections into a single administrative Connectors experience.

Glean added 182 vendor Model Context Protocol (MCP) server templates and restructured its MCP connection workflow on September 22, 2026, according to [Glean's official release notes](https://docs.glean.com/release-notes/releases/2026-09-22-september-release). The move consolidates agent integration management for enterprise users and expands the platform's coverage of industry-specific data sources and tools.

## MCP servers move into unified admin experience

Beginning September 22, 2026, all new MCP connections are now configured through Glean's **Connectors** experience rather than a separate Tools area, [the release notes state](https://docs.glean.com/release-notes/releases/2026-09-22-september-release). This brings MCP servers and native connectors into one administrative workflow, simplifying how enterprise administrators manage agent integrations and data access.

Crucially, **no servers are enabled automatically**. Administrators must explicitly add and enable each server in the Admin Console, maintaining explicit control over which agent-accessible integrations are active within their organizations.

## 182 templates span 10+ enterprise categories

The new templates cover 11 distinct categories: legal, finance, sales, marketing, real estate, construction, security, developer tools, research, and others. Specific new additions include [Trello, Stack Overflow, Elicit, TikTok for Business, Alpha Vantage, Whimsical, Interactive Brokers, GrowthBook, Cypress Cloud, DeepJudge, and Paxton Legal Research](https://docs.glean.com/release-notes/releases/2026-09-22-september-release), according to Glean's release documentation.

The breadth of categories signals Glean's intent to position MCP servers as a standard integration layer for enterprise agents across multiple functional domains. Finance teams can now wire agents to Interactive Brokers and Alpha Vantage data; legal teams gain access to DeepJudge and Paxton Legal Research; and construction and real estate teams can integrate project and property data sources.

## What this means for the agent economy

The expansion reflects a maturing pattern in the AI agent infrastructure market: as autonomous agents move from prototype to operational deployment in enterprises, the plumbing that connects them to business data becomes competitive. By standardizing around MCP—a protocol for agents to access external tools and data—Glean is reducing the engineering work required to give agents safe, auditable access to company systems.

The move of MCP connections into the Connectors experience also signals a shift in how enterprises think about agent governance. Rather than treating agent integrations as a separate, ad-hoc category, the administrative consolidation positions agents as first-class consumers of the same data and tool integrations that power native connectors.

The explicit opt-in requirement—no automatic enablement—reflects enterprise security posture, ensuring that administrators retain visibility and control over every external system an agent can touch.
