Glama MCP Gateway
Connect through Glama MCP Gateway for full control over tool access and complete visibility into every call.
Full call logging
Every tool call is logged with complete inputs and outputs, so you can debug issues and audit what your agents are doing.
Tool access control
Enable or disable individual tools per connector, so you decide what your agents can and cannot do.
Managed credentials
Glama handles OAuth flows, token storage, and automatic rotation, so credentials never expire on your clients.
Usage analytics
See which tools your agents call, how often, and when, so you can understand usage patterns and catch anomalies.
Tool Definition Quality
Average 4.1/5 across 8 of 8 tools scored. Lowest: 3.1/5.
Each tool targets a distinct search modality (web, image, video, news, local, places) or processing step (summarizer, LLM context). Descriptions clearly differentiate purposes and chaining dependencies are explicitly noted.
All tool names follow a consistent `brave_<descriptive_suffix>` pattern using snake_case. The suffixes are specific to the operation (e.g., `image_search`, `llm_context`, `local_search`), making the purpose clear and predictably structured.
With 8 tools, the count is well-scoped for a search API covering multiple media types and AI enhancements. Each tool serves a distinct purpose without redundancy or unnecessary expansion.
The set covers all major search modalities and adds AI-oriented tools (summarizer, LLM context). Minor gaps exist (e.g., no direct location-to-POI search without a two-step flow), but the documented chaining addresses these adequately.

Direct user feedback – users can report issues and suggest improvements through the listing, giving you a channel you would not have otherwise
The connector status is unhealthy when Glama is unable to successfully connect to the server. This can happen for several reasons:
The server is experiencing an outage
The URL of the server is wrong
Credentials required to access the server are missing or invalid
