NetSuite

Glean offers two ways to integrate with NetSuite. Each serves a different purpose, uses a different authentication model, and delivers a different experience for admins and end users.

NetSuite search integration

Index NetSuite records into Glean search using machine‑to‑machine OAuth with certificates and a scheduled crawl.

NetSuite MCP

Give users live access to NetSuite tools from Glean using per‑user OAuth authorization and a non‑admin NetSuite role.

Which one should you start with?

We strongly recommend enabling both integrations for the best NetSuite experience in Glean. NetSuite MCP depends on the native NetSuite connector being set up.

Start with the NetSuite search integration to make NetSuite content broadly searchable in Glean. Then add NetSuite MCP to give users live access to NetSuite tools.

The search integration handles indexing and search, while MCP handles live tool-based workflows. Using both gives your organization searchable NetSuite records and live tool access in one place.
