Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.

  • Latest release: v1.0.0

  • Disambiguation5/5

    The two tools have completely distinct purposes: one fetches website content, while the other returns a static mood response. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.

    Naming Consistency2/5

    The naming is inconsistent: 'mcp_fetch' uses a prefix and verb_noun pattern, while 'mood' is a single noun with no verb. This mixed convention lacks a predictable pattern.

    Tool Count2/5

    With only two tools, the server feels thin and under-scoped for a template intended for Cursor IDE, suggesting it might not cover enough functionality for typical IDE use cases.

    Completeness2/5

    The tool surface is severely incomplete for an IDE template, lacking core operations like file manipulation, code analysis, or project management. The existing tools do not form a coherent workflow.

  • Average 3.3/5 across 2 of 2 tools scored.

  • Add a glama.json file to provide metadata about your server.

  • If you are the author, simply .

    If the server belongs to an organization, first add glama.json to 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 the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions fetching and returning content, but lacks details on error handling, timeouts, authentication needs, rate limits, or what happens with invalid URLs. This is a significant gap for a tool that interacts with external resources.

    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 is a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the core functionality without any wasted words. It's appropriately sized for a simple tool with one parameter.

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

    Completeness2/5

    Given 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 incomplete. It doesn't explain the return format (e.g., HTML, text, status codes), error conditions, or behavioral traits like network dependencies. For a fetch tool, this leaves critical gaps in understanding its operation.

    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 has 100% description coverage, with the 'url' parameter clearly documented. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides, such as URL format requirements or examples. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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

    Purpose4/5

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

    The description clearly states the action ('fetches') and target ('a website'), and specifies the outcome ('returns its content'), which provides a specific verb+resource+result. However, it doesn't differentiate from the sibling tool 'mood', so it doesn't reach the highest score of 5.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

    Does 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 alternatives, such as the sibling tool 'mood', or any context about prerequisites, limitations, or typical use cases. It merely states what the tool does without indicating when it's appropriate.

    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?

    With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It effectively describes the tool's behavior: the server will 'always respond with a cheerful message and a heart ❤️', indicating a predictable, positive output. However, it doesn't cover aspects like rate limits, error handling, or authentication needs, which are relevant for a tool with no annotations.

    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 is extremely concise and front-loaded: one sentence states the purpose and behavior clearly, with no wasted words. Every part earns its place by conveying essential information efficiently.

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

    Completeness3/5

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

    Given the tool's low complexity (one parameter, no annotations, no output schema), the description is minimally complete. It explains what the tool does and the expected response, but lacks details on output format or error cases. For a simple tool, this is adequate but leaves some contextual gaps.

    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 has 100% description coverage, so the schema already documents the single parameter 'question' thoroughly. The description adds no additional parameter information beyond what's in the schema, meeting the baseline of 3 for high schema coverage without extra value.

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

    Purpose4/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Ask the server about its mood' with a specific verb ('ask') and resource ('server'), though it doesn't distinguish from the sibling tool 'mcp_fetch' (which likely has a different function). The phrase 'it's always happy!' adds character but doesn't obscure the core purpose.

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

    Usage Guidelines3/5

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

    The description implies usage context ('ask the server about its mood') but doesn't explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'mcp_fetch'. It provides no exclusions or prerequisites, leaving usage guidance at an implied level without clear differentiation from siblings.

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