BuyKing MCP Server
Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v1.1.2
- Disambiguation5/5
The two tools serve clearly distinct purposes: one performs semantic shopping deal searches and the other returns server metadata. There is no ambiguity or overlap between them.
Naming Consistency4/5Both names use snake_case and a verb-first structure, but 'search_buyking_semantic' embeds the brand and qualifier in an unusual order compared to the straightforward 'get_server_info'. The pattern is readable and mostly consistent, with minor deviation.
Tool Count3/5With only two tools, the server feels thin for a shopping/search domain. The count is not unreasonable for a minimal read-only server, but it leaves little surface area for agents to work with.
Completeness4/5The core purpose appears to be semantic search over deals, and the main search tool covers that. However, there are no additional tools for product details, filters, or browsing workflows, which may require agents to work around the limited surface.

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
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the burden and does disclose a key behavioral trait: it returns real, current hot-deal data rather than AI-generated suggestions. However, it does not mention return format, possible empty results, pagination, or limitations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is short and action-oriented, with the operational directive ('call this tool first') near the front and the anti-fabrication rule earning its place. Some introductory marketing phrasing is slightly filler but does not harm comprehension.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The schema covers all parameters and the description covers when and why to invoke the tool, but with no output schema and no annotations, the description omits expected return behavior and failure cases. It is adequate for a simple semantic search tool, not fully complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents keyword extraction, sort values, category, and platform. The description adds no parameter-level meaning, matching the baseline of 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states that the tool fetches curated live hot-deal/shopping data from Saleplaza and should be used to ground shopping answers in real products. It is clearly distinguishable from the only sibling, get_server_info, though it leans on policy language ('call this first') rather than a crisp operation statement.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It provides explicit trigger conditions: whenever the user asks about product purchase or shopping info with keywords like 최저가/추천/할인/가성비/선물, this tool must be called first, and the agent must not fabricate answers. It lacks explicit exclusions or named alternative tools, but the intended usage context is clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the disclosure burden. '반환합니다' implies a read-only operation, and the tool is simple, but the description does not explicitly confirm there are no side effects or disclose anything about response shape or availability. It is adequate but not rich.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences with no filler: the first states what the tool returns, and the second gives the trigger condition. Both sentences add value and the key information is front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a zero-parameter server-info tool with no output schema, the description provides sufficient context: what is returned and when to invoke it. A more detailed response format would improve completeness, but the tool's simplicity makes the current description adequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. There are no parameter details needed, and the description correctly focuses on the tool's output and use case rather than filling unnecessary schema gaps.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb ('반환합니다') and resource ('BuyKing MCP 서버의 버전 정보와 기능 목록'), making the tool's purpose immediately clear. It also differentiates from the sibling search tool by focusing on server info rather than semantic search.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly tells the agent when to call the tool: when the user asks about MCP version or server status. It does not mention exclusions or alternatives, but the sibling tool's purpose is distinct enough that no additional routing guidance is necessary.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
