Basic Math MCP Server
Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v1.0.0
- Disambiguation5/5
The two tools have perfectly distinct purposes: 'sum' for addition and 'subtraction' for subtraction. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them, making it impossible for an agent to confuse which tool to use for each operation.
Naming Consistency4/5The tool names are clear and descriptive ('sum' and 'subtraction'), but they do not follow a strict verb_noun pattern. 'sum' is a noun while 'subtraction' is a noun, which is slightly inconsistent, though both are readable and functional for this simple domain.
Tool Count2/5With only 2 tools, the server feels too thin for a 'Basic Math' domain, as it lacks fundamental operations like multiplication, division, or more advanced functions. This minimal set limits the server's utility and scope, making it incomplete for typical math tasks.
Completeness2/5The tool surface is severely incomplete for a basic math server, missing essential operations such as multiplication, division, exponentiation, and handling of more than two numbers. This creates significant gaps that will cause agent failures when trying to perform common mathematical tasks.
Average 3.1/5 across 2 of 2 tools scored.

glama.jsonto the root of your repository:{ "$schema": "https://glama.ai/mcp/schemas/server.json", "maintainers": [ "your-github-username" ] }Then . Browse examples.
Add related servers to improve discoverability.
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
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only states the basic function without mentioning any behavioral traits like error handling, performance characteristics, or what happens with non-numeric inputs. This leaves significant gaps for an AI agent.
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 perfectly concise at just four words, front-loading the essential information with zero wasted words. Every word earns its place in communicating the core functionality.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is insufficiently complete. It doesn't explain what the tool returns (sum result format), error conditions, or behavioral constraints. For even a simple tool, this leaves the AI agent with incomplete operational understanding.
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?
The input schema has 100% description coverage with clear parameter documentation, so the description doesn't need to add parameter details. The description doesn't provide any additional parameter semantics beyond what's in the schema, which is acceptable given the comprehensive schema coverage.
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 clearly states the verb ('Add') and resource ('two numbers'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from the sibling 'subtraction' tool, which would be helpful for an AI agent choosing between them.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus the sibling 'subtraction' tool, nor any context about appropriate use cases. It simply states what the tool does without addressing when it should be selected.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. The description only states what the tool does mathematically without addressing behavioral aspects like error handling (e.g., for non-numeric inputs), performance characteristics, or output format. This leaves significant gaps in understanding how the tool behaves beyond its basic function.
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 a single, clear sentence that directly states the tool's function without any unnecessary words. It is front-loaded with the core action and efficiently communicates the essential information, making it highly concise and well-structured.
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?
Given the tool's low complexity (simple arithmetic operation) and the absence of both annotations and an output schema, the description is minimally adequate. It covers the basic purpose but lacks details on behavioral traits, error handling, and return values, which are important for a complete understanding despite the tool's simplicity.
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?
The schema description coverage is 100%, with both parameters 'a' and 'b' clearly documented as 'First number (minuend)' and 'Second number (subtrahend)' respectively. The description adds minimal value beyond this, only reinforcing the order of subtraction without providing additional syntax or format details. This meets the baseline for high schema coverage.
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 clearly states the tool's purpose with a specific verb ('Subtract') and identifies the resources involved ('the second number from the first number'). It distinguishes from the sibling 'sum' tool by specifying subtraction rather than addition. However, it doesn't explicitly name the sibling alternative, keeping it from a perfect score.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use this tool (when subtraction is needed) versus the 'sum' sibling tool (when addition is needed), but this is only through contextual inference rather than explicit guidance. No explicit when-not-to-use scenarios or alternative tools are mentioned, making the guidance incomplete.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
