Dashboard API

The base address is http://127.0.0.1:8081. You can change it in the config. The dashboard also gives /ws, a WebSocket connection for live data.

The config and the models

The context store

The router and the rule editor

MITM data

The vendors and the hot-swap registry

The workspace

These endpoints read the workspace directory. The default is ~/.glider/workspace. In the dashboard, open the Workspace page.

MCP

These endpoints use internal/mcp.Manager. In the dashboard, open the MCP page. For more data, refer to Tools & MCP.

The gateway endpoints

http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/chat/completions · /v1/responses · /v1/models · /healthz

The gateway also gives /v1/messages. This is the Anthropic endpoint that Claude Code uses. It also accepts the delegate commands.

The WebSocket

ws://127.0.0.1:8081/ws sends an event each time something occurs. The client sends nothing. Each message is one JSON object with two fields:

{"type": "request", "data": { … }}
{"type": "vram_update", "data": { … }}

request gives these fields. A field with no value is absent.

vram_update gives total, used, free and a list models. Each item has name, vram, state and backend.
