Server Details

Europe PMC MCP — biomedical literature.

Glama couldn't complete the latest health check. If this server requires authentication, missing or expired test credentials may be the cause. A test profile lets Glama authenticate for health checks and discover tools; it is separate from your personal connections.

TDQS

B3.2/5.0

Scored across 24 tools

Disambiguation2/5

Many tools have overlapping purposes, such as ask_pipeworx, validate_claim, compare_entities, entity_profile, and bet_research all offering data lookups or analysis. The descriptions attempt to differentiate, but an agent would struggle to consistently choose the correct tool, especially for broad queries.

Naming Consistency2/5

Tool names mix verbs, nouns, and compound phrases without a consistent pattern. Examples include 'abstract' (verb), 'citations' (noun), 'ai_visibility_check' (lowercase with underscores), and 'polymarket_kalshi_spread' (camelCase) – indicating no unified naming convention.

Tool Count3/5

With 24 tools, the count is on the high side but not extreme for a general-purpose assistant. However, the server name 'Europepmc' suggests a focused biomedical search tool, making the large scope feel bloated and misaligned.

Completeness3/5

For a biomedical literature server, basic tools exist (abstract, search, get_article), but many non-biomedical tools are included, diluting the focus. While the set covers many data operations, each individual domain (e.g., company research) has only superficial coverage, leaving potential gaps.
