Maps a product name or description to Harmonized System / HTS customs classification codes — the lookup customs brokers, import/export compliance teams, and trade-automation agents need before filing a shipment or estimating duty. Returns ranked HS/HTS candidates. Pay-per-call via x402 (USDC on Base): $0.03/call, no account or API key. tools/list and /openapi.json are free for discovery.
Average 4/5 across 1 of 1 tools scored.
Only one tool exists, so there is no possibility of confusion between tools.
With a single tool, naming consistency is trivially maintained.
One tool is borderline for a server focused on classification; it covers the core function but feels thin for typical MCP servers.
The tool provides detailed classification but lacks batch processing or code listing, leaving minor gaps in the surface.
classifyAInspectClassify a product description into candidate HS/HTS10 tariff codes. Deterministic BM25 retrieval over the USITC HTS schedule with heading-agreement boosting, returning the full parent-chain description, general duty rate, and a score-gap confidence per candidate. Not a customs ruling — always includes a disclaimer to verify with a licensed broker.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Given no annotations, the description effectively discloses behaviors: deterministic (BM25), heading-agreement boosting, and the inclusion of a disclaimer. It does not explicitly state read-only idempotency, but the operation is clearly a query with no side effects. The description adds value beyond the empty annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose. Every sentence adds value: the first states the action and method, the second provides output details and a crucial disclaimer. No redundancy or excessive detail.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, no annotations, and only two parameters, the description covers the tool's purpose, algorithm, and output fields. However, parameter semantics are missing, which reduces completeness. For a query tool with this complexity, it is adequate but not excellent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must explain parameters. While 'description' is obvious, 'options.top_k' and 'options.origin_hint' are not elaborated. The description mentions 'score-gap confidence' but doesn't link to parameters. This is a significant gap that could hinder correct invocation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function: 'Classify a product description into candidate HS/HTS10 tariff codes.' It specifies the retrieval method (deterministic BM25), the data source (USITC HTS schedule), and the output fields (parent-chain description, duty rate, score-gap confidence). The disclaimer distinguishes it from a customs ruling, clarifying its non-authoritative nature.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explains what the tool does and includes a disclaimer that it is not a customs ruling, implying verification is needed. It specifies the algorithm and data source, giving context for when to trust the results. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use the tool or suggest alternatives, but with no sibling tools, this is acceptable.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Claiming proves that you control a remote MCP connector. It does not move, proxy, or interrupt the server.
Open the connector listing, choose Claim ownership, and sign in to Glama.
Complete one verification method:
GitHub identity — fastest for official registry listings. For a namespace such as io.github.alice/server, link the matching GitHub user or an account that owns the GitHub organization, then choose Claim with GitHub.
HTTP challenge — works when you can deploy a public file. Generate a token, publish the exact JSON Glama shows at /.well-known/glama.json on the same origin as the connector, then choose Check HTTP challenge.
DNS challenge — works when you control DNS but cannot change the server. Generate a token, create the exact TXT record Glama shows, wait for it to propagate, then choose Check DNS challenge.
After verification, Glama sends a confirmation email and gives you access to listing details, thumbnails, health checks, and analytics. Keep the HTTP file or DNS record in place: Glama periodically checks it and ownership remains verified while the token is discoverable.
The HTTP ownership file has this structure:
{
"$schema": "https://glama.ai/mcp/schemas/connector.json",
"claim": "glama_claim_..."
}Claim tokens are opaque, stable, and bound to the signed-in Glama account. They contain no email address or other personal information. If Glama can no longer discover a verified HTTP or DNS token, it starts a seven-day grace period before removing claim-based access. Restore the same token during that period to keep ownership verified. Never publish an email address, Glama session token, GitHub token, or connector credential as ownership proof.
If verification fails, confirm that you copied the current token exactly. The HTTP file must be public, return valid JSON with a successful HTTP response, and stay on the connector's origin. DNS changes may need more time to propagate. A claim cannot transfer to a different origin or hostname: if the connector target changes, Glama starts the grace period and the new target must be claimed separately after the previous claim is released.
For a connector linked to the official MCP Registry, registry updates continue to replace its name, description, and URL by default. After claiming, open Manage connector and enable Use Glama listing details as the source of truth if edits made on Glama should be preserved. Categories and thumbnails are always managed on Glama; registry linkage and technical connection settings continue to sync.

Get monitoring and health status updates for your server
Feature your server to boost visibility and reach more users
To improve your MCP server's ranking:
Claim ownership of the server listing
Complete the server profile with an accurate description and thumbnail
Provide a test profile so Glama can connect to and evaluate the server
Keep tool definitions clear and complete to earn a high Tool Definition Quality Score (TDQS)
Route real usage through the Glama Gateway; more recorded successful server uses also improve the ranking
For users:
Full audit trail – every tool call is logged with inputs and outputs for compliance and debugging
Granular tool control – enable or disable individual tools per connector to limit what your AI agents can do
Centralized credential management – store and rotate API keys and OAuth tokens in one place
Change alerts – get notified when a connector changes its schema, adds or removes tools, or updates tool definitions, so nothing breaks silently
For server owners:
Proven adoption – public usage metrics on your listing show real-world traction and build trust with prospective users
Tool-level analytics – see which tools are being used most, helping you prioritize development and documentation
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
If you are the owner of this MCP connector and would like to make modifications to the listing, including providing test credentials for accessing the server, please contact support@glama.ai.
