MCP insights
The MCP insights dashboard helps you understand how your organization uses Glean's MCP servers across connected host applications. You can track adoption trends, identify top applications, and drill down into usage by users, tools, and servers.
Prerequisites
Before MCP usage data appears, ensure you have:
- Glean OAuth authorization server turned on: navigate to Admin console → Users & permissions → Third-party access (OAuth).
- Glean MCP server turned on: navigate to Admin console → Platform → Glean MCP server.
For setup instructions, see Set up Glean MCP server.
Access MCP insights
Navigate to Admin console → Insights → MCP insights.
This page is available to users with the Insights Moderator role.
Filters
All charts and tables on the dashboard respond to global filters at the top of the page:
- Department: Scope data to one or more departments from your org chart.
- Team: Scope data to the direct and indirect reports of selected teams.
- Time range: Choose a preset period (for example, Past week) or set a custom date range to control the reporting window.
The Department and Team filters are mutually exclusive. Selecting one clears the other.
Summary statistics
Three headline metrics appear at the top of the dashboard:
| Metric | Definition |
|---|---|
| Monthly active users (MAU) | Distinct users who made at least one MCP call in the last 30 days. |
| Weekly active users (WAU) | Distinct users who made at least one MCP call in the last 7 days. |
| Daily active users (DAU) | Distinct users who made at least one MCP call in the last day. |
MCP active users trend
A line chart shows the trend of MCP active users across the selected time range. Use this chart to spot adoption momentum or usage dips.
MCP usage among Glean users
A bar chart compares daily MCP active users against overall Glean active users, so you can see what share of your user base has adopted MCP.
Each bar represents total Glean active users for that day, with the MCP-active portion filled in. Turn on Show adoption % to overlay a line that shows the MCP adoption percentage over time.
Active users by top host applications
A grouped bar chart shows the top three host applications by active user count in the selected time period. Use the granularity toggle to switch between Day, Week, and Month views.
Usage breakdown
A detailed table lets you explore MCP usage from four perspectives. Select a view using the tabs at the top of the table.
