Glama MCP Gateway
Connect through Glama MCP Gateway for full control over tool access and complete visibility into every call.
Full call logging
Every tool call is logged with complete inputs and outputs, so you can debug issues and audit what your agents are doing.
Tool access control
Enable or disable individual tools per connector, so you decide what your agents can and cannot do.
Managed credentials
Glama handles OAuth flows, token storage, and automatic rotation, so credentials never expire on your clients.
Usage analytics
See which tools your agents call, how often, and when, so you can understand usage patterns and catch anomalies.
Tool Definition Quality

3 toolscheck_dependency_licenseCheck one dependency for license obligationsInspect
Determine whether adding or keeping a single open source dependency creates a legal obligation, given how this project ships. Call this BEFORE adding a new dependency to a project, and when auditing an existing one. A permissive result means no source-disclosure duty; a blocked result means the license obligates you and the dependency should be replaced or the shipping model reconsidered.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | Package name as written in the manifest, e.g. "express", "requests", or "github.com/gin-gonic/gin". | |
| scope | No | Where the dependency sits. Use "dev", "build", or "test" for anything that does not end up in the shipped artifact — those carry no distribution obligation. Defaults to "runtime". | |
| version | No | Exact version if known. Omit to use the latest published version, which may differ from what is installed. | |
| ecosystem | Yes | Package registry the dependency comes from. | |
| distribution_model | Yes | How the software incorporating this dependency reaches its users. This determines the answer: "saas" = users reach it over a network; "distributed-binary" = shipped as an app or binary; "on-prem-delivery" = installed in a customer environment; "internal-only" = never leaves your organization; "library-published" = released for others to depend on. |

| rationale | Yes | |
| reference | No | |
| obligations | Yes |
check_manifest_licensesCheck a whole manifestInspect
Scan an entire dependency manifest and report every dependency whose license creates an obligation for this shipping model. Use when reviewing a project as a whole, preparing for due diligence, or after a large dependency change. Pass a package-lock.json when one exists: problematic licenses usually arrive as transitive dependencies rather than ones you added directly, and only a lockfile reveals those.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| content | Yes | Full text of a package-lock.json, package.json, requirements.txt, or go.mod. The format is detected automatically. Prefer package-lock.json: it covers transitive dependencies, carries exact versions, and needs no registry lookups. | |
| distribution_model | Yes | How the software incorporating this dependency reaches its users. This determines the answer: "saas" = users reach it over a network; "distributed-binary" = shipped as an app or binary; "on-prem-delivery" = installed in a customer environment; "internal-only" = never leaves your organization; "library-published" = released for others to depend on. |
explain_licenseExplain what a license requiresInspect
Given an SPDX license identifier or expression, explain what it requires across every shipping model at once. Use when the question is about the license itself rather than a specific package — for example when comparing AGPL-3.0 against GPL-3.0 for a hosted service, or deciding what a project may safely depend on.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| license | Yes | SPDX identifier or expression, e.g. "AGPL-3.0-only", "Apache-2.0", or "(MIT OR GPL-2.0-only)". | |
| linkage | No | How the dependency is linked. Matters for LGPL-family licenses. Compiled languages such as Go and Rust normally link statically. Defaults to "dynamic". |
Claim this connector by publishing a /.well-known/glama.json file on your server's domain with the following structure:
{
"$schema": "https://glama.ai/mcp/schemas/connector.json",
"maintainers": [{ "email": "your-email@example.com" }]
}The email address must match the email associated with your Glama account. Once published, Glama will automatically detect and verify the file within a few minutes.
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
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.
