Server Details
SIMBAD MCP — CDS astronomical object database.
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.
If you are the author, claim ownership, then add or update a test profile under Admin → Test Profile.

Scored across 23 tools
Most tools have distinct purposes, with detailed descriptions. Minor overlap exists between ai_visibility_check and scan_competitor_ai_presence, and among company-related tools like entity_profile, compare_entities, and recent_changes, but descriptions clarify usage.
Tool names use mixed conventions: snake_case (ai_visibility_check, ask_pipeworx), compound words (cone_search, discover_tools), and inconsistent patterns (pipeworx_feedback vs. generate_llms_txt). No consistent verb_noun pattern.
23 tools is high but not extreme. The server aggregates multiple domains (SIMBAD, Pipeworx, Polymarket, memory), making the count borderline. It could benefit from splitting into separate servers for clarity.
The tool set covers astronomy, data queries, betting, memory, and AI visibility. However, it lacks update/delete for entities and direct pack-level tools (though discover_tools helps). Completeness varies by subdomain.
