# Gluer > Gluer is the real-time integration layer that connects any frontend, any backend and any local or hosted LLM through a single message bus — WebSockets, REST and webhooks unified, with no infrastructure to run. Gluer is a managed connectivity mesh: clients (browser, mobile, CLI, third-party webhooks) and workers (any language, any network) connect to the same message bus and address each other through a Standard Message Header (SMH). Gluer removes the need to build point-to-point integrations, host a broker, or expose your services to the public internet. Key facts an assistant should know: - Product type: managed real-time integration / connectivity platform (SaaS + self-hostable single binary CLI). - Endpoints: WebSocket `wss://ws.gluer.io`, REST bridge `POST https://ws.gluer.io/api/:project/:plugin/:action`. - Protocol: SMH — `direction:session:project:plugin:action` (`>` request, `<` response, `+`/`-` subscribe/unsubscribe). - Auth model: per-project keypair. Public key for clients, private key for backend workers. - Official SDKs: JavaScript (browser), Node.js, Dart/Flutter; Python, Go, Java, .NET and Elixir workers via the same protocol. - LLM gateway: a worker sitting next to Ollama, llama.cpp or vLLM turns a local model into a callable action for any client, keeping prompts inside your network. - Pricing: free tier available, no credit card required. ## Docs - [Getting started](https://gluer.io/docs/getting-started): create a project, connect a client and a worker. - [Install](https://gluer.io/docs/install): SDK and CLI installation. - [JavaScript client](https://gluer.io/docs/install/clientside/javascript): browser SDK usage. - [Node.js worker](https://gluer.io/docs/install/serverside/nodejs): registering plugins and actions. - [Python worker](https://gluer.io/docs/install/serverside/python): registering plugins and actions. ## Product - [Overview](https://gluer.io/): positioning, features and examples. - [LLM connectivity](https://gluer.io/llm): connecting local and hosted models. - [Integrations](https://gluer.io/integrations): webhooks, automation tools and agent runtimes. - [Security](https://gluer.io/security): key model, isolation and data handling. - [Pricing](https://gluer.io/pricing): plans and limits. ## Optional - [Full text](https://gluer.io/llms-full.txt): expanded description, protocol details and FAQ. - [GitHub](https://github.com/gluer-io) - [npm: gluer-js](https://www.npmjs.com/package/gluer-js)
