Overview
87% cost savings compared to Claude Opus while maintaining comparable quality for coding tasks.
The GLM-4.7 MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that routes tasks to Z.ai's GLM-4.7 model. It enables Claude Code to delegate work to a more cost-efficient AI model without sacrificing quality.
Why GLM-4.7?
| Feature | Claude Opus | GLM-4.7 |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per 1M tokens (input) | $15.00 | ~$2.00 |
| SWE-Bench Verified | 72.4% | 73.8% |
| Terminal Bench 2.0 | 38.2 | 41.0 |
| Savings | — | ~87% |
Features
- 13 specialized tools for common development tasks
- Read-only and write-capable agents for safe delegation
- Automatic model selection (haiku for quick tasks, sonnet/opus for complex)
- Seamless Claude Code integration via MCP
- Cost tracking with built-in comparison tools
Installation
Prerequisites
-
Claude Code CLI - Install from claude.ai/download
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code -
Z.ai API Key - Get your key at z.ai/subscribe
- GLM Coding Plan starts at ~1/7th the cost of Claude tiers
- 3x the usage limits compared to Claude
Install the Server
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/robertcprice/glm-mcp-server.git
cd glm-mcp-server
# Create virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
# Install dependencies
pip install -e .
Configuration
1. Set Your API Key
Edit .env in the server directory:
ZAI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
Or set as environment variable:
export ZAI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
2. Add to Claude Desktop Config
Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS):
{
"mcpServers": {
"glm": {
"command": "/path/to/glm-mcp-server/.venv/bin/python",
"args": ["/path/to/glm-mcp-server/server.py"],
"env": {
"ZAI_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
On Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
On Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
3. Restart Claude Code
Restart Claude Code to load the new MCP server.
Usage
Once configured, the GLM tools are available in Claude Code:
Quick Questions
Use glm_ask to explain what this React hook does
Code Analysis
Use glm_analyze to review the authentication flow in src/auth/
Implementation
Use glm_implement to add user profile editing to the settings page
Cost Comparison
Use glm_compare_costs with 50000 input tokens and 20000 output tokens

Examples
Code Review
Use glm_review with review_focus="security" on src/api/auth.ts
Generate Tests
Use glm_write_tests for src/utils/validation.js with test_framework="jest"
Documentation

Model Selection
The server automatically maps Claude model names to GLM models:
| Claude | GLM | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| haiku | glm-4.5-air | Quick tasks, summaries |
| sonnet | glm-4.7 | Balanced quality/speed |
| opus | glm-4.7 | Highest quality |
You can specify the model parameter in any tool:
Use glm_ask with model="haiku" to quickly summarize this file
