Tool Definition Quality
Average 3.6/5 across 23 of 23 tools scored. Lowest: 3/5.
There are multiple pairs of tools with overlapping purposes that will cause confusion. For example, 'browse_by_deadline' and 'browse_tenders_by_deadline' appear to do the same thing but target different data sources (general tenders vs TED tenders), and similarly 'find_similar_ted_tenders' vs 'find_similar_tenders', 'get_ted_stats' vs 'get_stats', and multiple search tools with 'ted' vs non-ted variants. While descriptions clarify the distinction, the naming doesn't make this clear at first glance, leading to misselection risk.
The naming follows a mostly consistent snake_case pattern, but there are significant inconsistencies in verb usage and structure. Some tools use 'browse_' prefix while others use 'search_', 'get_', or 'find_', without clear semantic distinction. Additionally, there are redundant tools with 'ted' vs non-ted variants that break consistency, and some tools have slightly different parameter names for similar concepts (e.g., 'notice_id' vs 'tender_id').
With 23 tools, this server feels overloaded for a procurement tender domain. Many tools appear to be redundant variations (e.g., separate tools for TED vs national tenders that could be unified with parameters). The count suggests poor API design with duplication rather than well-scoped functionality, making it harder for agents to navigate and increasing the risk of tool misselection.
The tool surface provides comprehensive coverage for searching, browsing, and analyzing procurement tenders across multiple dimensions (deadline, buyer, CPV, NUTS, value range, etc.). It supports both TED and national tenders with statistics and similarity search. The main gap is the lack of update/delete operations, but this is reasonable for a read-only data exploration server focused on public procurement data.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.jsonon 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.
Control your server's listing on Glama, including description and metadata
Access analytics and receive server usage reports
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.
