Server Quality Checklist

92%
Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.
  • Latest release: v1.0.0

  • Disambiguation5/5

    The two tools have clearly distinct roles: one searches/fetchs the listing index while the other fetches full details for a specific job. There is no meaningful overlap or ambiguity in selecting between them.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    Both tool names follow the same hasdata_indeed_<resource>_get<Action> pattern, with consistent snake_case prefixing and camelCase action suffixes. The naming is predictable and coherent across the set.

    Tool Count3/5

    Two tools is on the low end for an MCP server, though the pair covers the essential list-and-detail retrieval flow for Indeed job data. The server feels minimal but not unreasonable for its focused purpose.

    Completeness4/5

    The server provides the core job-search workflow: get listings, then fetch details for a chosen URL. Minor gaps exist, such as no direct fetch by jobKey and no batch/company-level tools, but agents can accomplish the primary intended use case without dead ends.

  • Average 4.3/5 across 2 of 2 tools scored.

How to sync the server with GitHub?

Servers are automatically synced at least once per day, but you can also sync manually at any time to instantly update the server profile.

To manually sync the server, click the "Sync Server" button in the MCP server admin interface.

How is the quality score calculated?

The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).

Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.

Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).

Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.

Tool Scores

  • Behavior4/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    With no annotations, the description carries responsibility: it clearly frames the operation as a read-only 'fetches' and enumerates all returned data. It could have added notes on invalid URLs or availability limits, but for a simple GET-style tool the behavior is adequately disclosed.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness4/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description is compact and front-loaded, but the opening line 'Get Indeed Job Details' repeats what the next sentence and the title already cover. The rest is focused and useful.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness4/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    There is no output schema, but the description compensates by listing the main returned sections: title, company, location, salary, employment type, posted date, requirements, benefits, and apply URL. It does not address error/edge behavior, but with one parameter this is a minor gap.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters4/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    Schema coverage is 100%, so the parameter is already documented. The description adds signifficant extra meaning by saying the URL must be the 'viewjob URL' and implying the source is the Indeed endpoint result set, which goes beyond the generic parameter text.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description states a specific verb and resource: it fetches a single Indeed job posting by its viewjob URL. It also differentiates from the sibling endpoint by noting that these are postings discovered via the Indeed Listing endpoint.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines4/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    The description explicitly lists intended use cases such as ATS/CRM enrichment, compensation benchmarking, and resume-to-JD matching. It indirectly positions the tool as the detailed single-listing complement to the listing endpoint, though it does not crank out exact when-not-to-use rules.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior4/5

    Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

    No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It clearly states this is a search/read operation that returns an array of job objects with specific fields, and explains the offset-pagination behavior of start. It does not mention authorization, request limits, or error behavior, but the core visible behavior is well covered.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description starts with a direct summary ('Searches Indeed job listings by keyword and location'), then lists the relevant search controls and return payload, then names end-use contexts. There is no filler or unnecessary repetition.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness5/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Although there is no output schema, the description explicitly enumerates the returned fields and page be behavior. It also explains how the resulting URLs can be consumed by the details endpoint, giving the agent enough situational context to select it for the right work.

    Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

    Parameters3/5

    Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

    The input schema already covers 100% of parameters, so baseline is a 3. The description adds context such as relevance/date sorting, country-domain targeting, and offset-based pagination, which aligns with the schema but does not need to carry the same burden given the schema's completeness.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description states a specific verb and resource ('Searches Indeed job listings') and details the output fields (title, company, location, salary, posted date, job URL, jobKey. It clearly distinguishes this listing tool from the sibling getJobDetails by describing list-level search and URL generation for the details endpoint.

    Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

    Usage Guidelines4/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    The description names concrete use cases — job-market dashboards, hiring-trend analysis, sourcing pipelines — and says the output can generate URL lists to feed into the Indeed Job endpoint. It implies when to use the listing tool versus the details sibling, but does not explicitly state when not to use it or include a direct alternative-comparison sentence.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
