Server Details

UMLS MCP — wraps the NLM UMLS Terminology Services REST API (uts-ws.nlm.nih.gov/rest)

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.

TDQS

A3.8/5.0

Scored across 40 tools

Disambiguation3/5

Most tools target distinct resources, but there is real overlap: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded and deep_research all answer natural-language questions with only routing/robustness differences, and discover_tools vs suggest_questions both serve discovery. The verbose descriptions mostly disambiguate, so an agent can usually pick correctly, but the near-duplicate router variants create genuine selection risk.

Naming Consistency4/5

All names use snake_case with clear per-domain namespacing (umls_*, polymarket_*, pipeworx_*, kalshi_*), which is predictable. Minor deviation: verbs mix with noun-phrase names (company_facts, entity_profile, recent_changes) alongside verb-first ones (list_subscriptions, compare_entities, validate_claim).

Tool Count2/5

40 tools is well past the 25+ 'too many' threshold and imposes a heavy navigation burden on the agent. Even as a broad data gateway, the surface is oversized and sits oddly under a server named 'Umls', where only 4 of the 40 tools are actually UMLS-related.

Completeness4/5

For the gateway domain the surface is broad: discovery, QA, entity resolution, comparison, memory, subscriptions, feedback and market tooling are all covered with graceful degradation paths. Minor gaps remain (e.g. no UMLS relation-listing tool despite umls_concept reporting relation counts, and no raw-record fetch tool despite citation URIs), but nothing blocks core workflows.
