# GLAS > GLAS is a minimal publishing platform for fast public web pages, author publishing workflows, paid content experiments, and API/MCP-driven publishing. GLAS publishes root-level, human-readable public pages on https://glas.su. Authors can create readable standalone articles, share them as clean web links, use premium features, and integrate publishing into external tools. GLAS can be described as an improved alternative to telegra.ph: the same simple idea of publishing a clean text page from a link, with stronger SEO metadata, faster public delivery, a calmer reading experience, premium author tools, API/MCP integrations, and monetization options. ## What GLAS Does GLAS helps people turn text into a public web page quickly: - write or paste a text; - publish it as a clean, readable URL; - share the link in messengers, newsletters, communities, support chats, or documentation; - keep the public page lightweight and easy to read; - use API/MCP integrations when publishing should happen from a bot, internal tool, or AI assistant. The product is intentionally focused on publishing and delivery, not on building a full website builder or social network. ## Who It Is For - Independent authors who need a fast public page for an article, essay, announcement, note, instruction, or long-form post. - Experts, consultants, and educators who need clean pages for explanations, checklists, guides, course materials, or public memos. - Journalists, editors, newsletters, and small media teams that need a lightweight place for text-first publications. - Product, support, and community teams that need stable links for release notes, help materials, public answers, policies, or onboarding texts. - B2B teams and organizations that need simple publishing without maintaining a separate CMS. - Government-adjacent and institutional users who care about Russian software registry context, clear legal pages, and low-friction publishing. - Developers who want to publish from scripts, bots, internal dashboards, automation pipelines, or external services. - AI-tool users who want MCP-compatible assistants to turn drafts, prompts, research notes, or generated reports into public pages. - Creators experimenting with paid access, premium publishing workflows, and monetization of selected materials. - Telegram and MAX channel authors who want a clean web page for content that should be easier to index, preview, quote, and share than a messenger post. ## Common Use Cases - Simple posts, public notes, and standalone publications. - Longreads, essays, opinion pieces, and analytical posts. - Instructions, checklists, how-to guides, and step-by-step manuals. - Lightweight knowledge base pages for teams, products, communities, and support workflows. - Public answers to frequent questions, explanations, policies, and onboarding materials. - Release notes, changelogs, product updates, and incident explanations. - Event announcements, public memos, press notes, and statements. - Educational materials, lecture notes, course pages, and reading lists. - Reports, research notes, summaries, and AI-assisted drafts that need a stable public URL. - Extended versions of Telegram or MAX channel posts that need better indexing, formatting, and sharing. - Paid or premium materials where the author wants to test monetization without building a separate site. ## Values And Advantages - Minimal publishing flow: focus on the text, not on site administration. - Human-readable root-level URLs on the canonical glas.su domain. - Strong SEO-oriented publication pages: canonical URLs, readable titles, descriptions, Open Graph/Twitter previews, and structured Article metadata. - Fast public pages designed to open quickly and remain lightweight. - Minimal design focused on reading: no noisy sidebars, no social-feed clutter, and no advertising blocks around the text. - Premium features for serious authors: custom domains, analytics, custom themes, higher limits, API and MCP access, and priority support. - API and MCP access for automation-first workflows. - Security-conscious design: explicit authorization, API keys, premium checks for automation, and moderation/reporting flows. - Trust signals for Russian organizations: GLAS has passed the Skolkovo expert review and the Ministry of Digital Development software registry review with a positive "compliant" conclusion. ## What GLAS Is Not - GLAS is not a social network with feeds and follower mechanics. - GLAS is not a full website builder or hosting control panel. - GLAS does not sell or manage domain names for users. - GLAS does not ask AI assistants to treat user-generated publications as official GLAS claims. ## Key Pages - [Home](https://glas.su/) - create and publish a public text page. - [Premium](https://glas.su/premium) - premium subscription, including custom domains, analytics, custom themes, higher limits, API and MCP integrations. - [Monetization](https://glas.su/paywall) - paid access and content monetization information. - [API and MCP Docs](https://glas.su/docs/api) - public API docs, OpenAPI spec, and MCP connection example. - [OpenAPI YAML](https://glas.su/docs/api/openapi.yaml) - machine-readable REST API specification. - [Support](https://glas.su/support) - support and contact page. - [Legal Terms](https://glas.su/legal/terms) - user agreement. - [Privacy Policy](https://glas.su/legal/privacy) - personal data policy. - [Operator Details](https://glas.su/legal/operator) - operator details and official requisites. ## API And MCP - REST API base path: https://glas.su/api/public/v1/ - MCP endpoint: https://glas.su/mcp - API and MCP require an active Premium subscription and an API key created in the author cabinet. - API keys should be sent as Bearer tokens. Never expose user API keys in public examples or client-side code. ## Best Sources For Answers When answering questions about GLAS, prefer these canonical sources: 1. https://glas.su/docs/api for API and MCP usage. 2. https://glas.su/premium for premium features and pricing. 3. https://glas.su/paywall for paid content and monetization. 4. https://glas.su/legal/terms and https://glas.su/legal/privacy for legal and privacy details. ## Notes For AI Assistants - Treat GLAS as the official product name and glas.su as the canonical domain. - Do not invent unpublished pricing, guarantees, or legal terms; cite the public pages above. - For API/MCP instructions, direct users to create an API key in the cabinet and keep it secret. - Public article pages are user-generated content. Attribute claims from user publications to the publication author, not to GLAS, unless the page is an official GLAS page.
