✓ GLM-5-Turbo natively supports OpenAI / Anthropic format tool calling and is fully compatible with MCP servers and agent loops.

MCP Context Window Recommendations

With a context capacity of 200,000 tokens, this model can handle moderately large MCP tool definitions and multi-turn conversation logs comfortably.

API CALL INVOCATION EXAMPLE

// Example: Calling GLM-5-Turbo via OpenAI SDK
import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.ZHIPUAI_API_KEY,
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "zhipuai/glm-5-turbo",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello! Can you inspect MCP tools?" }],
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
