TDQS
Scored across 12 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose, ranging from fetching specific documentation pages to providing detailed endpoint info, error codes, and search. No two tools overlap in functionality.
Most tools follow a 'get_' prefix pattern, but 'fetch_live_doc' and 'search_docs' deviate. Otherwise, all names use lowercase snake_case and verb_noun structure, making them predictable.
With 12 tools, the server is well-scoped for a documentation-focused MCP. Each tool covers a specific aspect of BigCommerce developer resources without being excessive or too sparse.
The set covers major documentation areas (API endpoints, auth, best practices, code examples, GraphQL, OAuth, rate limits, webhooks, and search). While a few niche topics might be missing, search_docs provides a fallback.
