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 4.5/5 across 12 of 12 tools scored.
Each tool clearly targets a distinct operation on a specific resource type (occurrences, species, datasets, publishers). For example, count_occurrences, search_occurrences, and occurrence_facets serve different purposes (counting, searching, aggregating), and get_species vs search_species vs match_species are well-differentiated. No two tools have overlapping functionality.
All tools use the 'gbif_' prefix and mostly follow a verb_noun pattern (e.g., gbif_count_occurrences, gbif_get_dataset, gbif_search_occurrences). The only minor deviation is gbif_occurrence_facets, which places the verb second; however, the pattern is still highly recognizable and consistent overall.
With 12 tools covering search, retrieval, counting, faceting, and matching across occurrences, species, datasets, and publishers, the tool count is well-proportioned to the server's purpose. Each tool addresses a specific need without redundancy or bloat.
The tool set covers the essential GBIF operations: name resolution (match_species), occurrence search and counting (search_occurrences, count_occurrences, occurrence_facets), species taxonomy (get_species, get_species_children, get_species_classification, search_species), dataset and publisher metadata (search_datasets, get_dataset, search_publishers), and detailed occurrence records (get_occurrence). No obvious dead ends or missing operations for typical biodiversity queries.
Claim this connector by publishing a /.well-known/glama.json file on your server's domain with the following structure:
{
"$schema": "https://glama.ai/mcp/schemas/connector.json",
"maintainers": [{ "email": "your-email@example.com" }]
}The email address must match the email associated with your Glama account. Once published, Glama will automatically detect and verify the file within a few minutes.

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
