Server Details

XKCD MCP — wraps xkcd.com JSON API (free, no auth)

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

A4/5.0

Scored across 34 tools

Disambiguation3/5

The descriptions go to extraordinary lengths to differentiate tools, which genuinely helps, but real overlaps remain: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, ask_pipeworx_grounded, deep_research, discover_tools, and suggest_questions all answer 'route my question to data,' and the six polymarket_* / bet_research tools cluster tightly around market analysis. entity_profile vs recent_changes vs resolve_entity vs compare_entities also have fuzzy boundaries an agent must parse carefully.

Naming Consistency4/5

Nearly everything is consistent snake_case (verb_noun or noun_noun), which is highly predictable. Minor deviations exist — the ask_pipeworx family groups under one stem while deep_research/bet_research use a different verb style — but overall it is readable and stable.

Tool Count3/5

34 tools is heavy, and only 3 (get_comic, get_latest, random_comic) relate to the server's stated 'xkcd' identity — the rest are a sprawling general data gateway. For the gateway's broad purpose the count is defensible, but for the name and apparent scope it is a severe mismatch.

Completeness3/5

The gateway surface is broad and covers profiling, comparison, research, memory, subscriptions, and markets, so few agent workflows dead-end. However the nominal xkcd domain is thin (no comic search or listing) and the gateway offers many overlapping paths rather than one clean lifecycle per capability.

Tool Schema Changelog

Recent tool additions, removals, and schema changes observed during successful MCP inspections.

  1. 1 tool update
    • Changedentity_profile3 fields changed
      • changedInput schema / properties / type / description
        Previous value: -"Entity type. Only \"company\" supported today; person/place coming soon."New value: +"\"company\" or \"ticker\" — both are accepted and behave identically; `value` can be a ticker, CIK, or company name either way. person/place coming soon."

      • changedInput schema / properties / value / description
        Previous value: -"Ticker (e.g., \"AAPL\") or zero-padded CIK (e.g., \"0000320193\"). Names not supported — use resolve_entity first if you only have a name."New value: +"Ticker (e.g., \"AAPL\"), zero-padded CIK (e.g., \"0000320193\"), or company name (e.g., \"Moderna\") — names resolve via SEC EDGAR company-name match."
  2. 1 tool update
    • Changedresolve_entity1 field changed
      • changedInput schema / properties / value / description
        Previous value: -"For company: ticker (AAPL), CIK (0000320193), or name. For drug: brand or generic name (e.g., \"ozempic\", \"metformin\")."New value: +"For company: ticker (AAPL), CIK (0000320193), or name. For drug: brand or generic name (e.g., \"ozempic\", \"metformin\"). Pass the ENTITY NAME ONLY — for a bond that is the ISSUER exactly as printed (\"NEW YORK ST DORM AUTH\"), never the question's full noun phrase (\"NEW YORK ST DORM AUTH revenue bonds\"): the FIGI lookup matches instrument names, so trailing security-class words match nothing."
