glim-sh/glim-mcp

A remote MCP endpoint that gives your agent live data from Twitter, Reddit, GitHub, Amazon, YouTube, and the open web without managing API keys or running scrapers. You get twelve tools covering search and fetch operations across platforms: pull tweets by URL or search query, scrape Reddit threads with comments, search the web semantically, extract clean page content from any URL, query GitHub repos and code, grab Amazon product details, and fetch YouTube transcripts. Pay per call with OAuth sign-in or run it wallet-first with USDC over x402. Pricing ranges from $0.002 for web fetch and GitHub operations to $0.015 for Reddit posts with full comment threads. Useful when you need production-grade data access without the infrastructure overhead.
