Tumblr MCP Server and API by Cotlet

Reply to ask in Tumblr

tumblr_reply_to_ask
Read-onlyIdempotent

Reply to ask in the user's own Tumblr account from ChatGPT, Claude or any AI agent. Returns how to do it in Tumblr step by step (screens, buttons, fields) and opens nothing by itself; then do it with the cotlet_browser_* tools in the user's Tumblr Cloud Browser. Tumblr's official API: Tumblr has a full public API v2 with OAuth for posts, queue, drafts, submissions, follows and notes, but no official MCP server (checked 17 Oct 2026).

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, and the description usefully reinforces this with 'opens nothing by itself' plus a concrete statement of the return content (screens, buttons, fields) in the absence of an output schema. The API-availability sentence adds background but no behavioral detail an agent needs to invoke the tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The core instruction and the 'opens nothing by itself' clarification are front-loaded and useful, but 'from ChatGPT, Claude or any AI agent' is marketing filler and the Tumblr API v2 paragraph with a dated check is tangential to invoking this tool.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a zero-parameter, annotation-covered guide tool with no output schema, the description covers what comes back (step-by-step UI instructions) and what to do next. A brief note on prerequisites (e.g., that the Tumblr Cloud Browser session must be available, or which ask is targeted) would close the remaining gap.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool takes zero parameters and the schema is an empty object with additionalProperties=false, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate. Baseline for a parameterless tool applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the resource (a Tumblr ask reply) and, crucially, that the tool returns step-by-step instructions rather than performing the reply. It names the follow-up tools (cotlet_browser_*) for actually executing the action, which differentiates it from the mutation siblings like tumblr_edit_post. It does not, however, distinguish itself from cotlet_app_guide, which likely serves a similar instructional role.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Clear usage context: call this to learn the Tumblr UI flow, then act with cotlet_browser_* in the Cloud Browser. There are no explicit exclusions or tie-breakers against other guide-style tools, which keeps it from a 5.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
