Server Quality Checklist

50%
Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.
  • Latest release: v0.1.0

  • Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool targets a distinct entity and operation: organization enrichment, job postings, search; people enrichment and search. No overlapping purposes.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tools use a consistent pattern of <entity>_<operation> in snake_case, with operations like enrichment, search, and job_postings.

    Tool Count5/5

    With 5 tools covering the two main domains (organizations and people) and key operations (search and enrichment), the count is well-scoped.

    Completeness5/5

    The tool set provides search and enrichment for both entities, plus job postings for organizations. No obvious gaps for the intended sales intelligence use case.

  • Average 2.5/5 across 5 of 5 tools scored.

    See the Tool Scores section below for per-tool breakdowns.

    If the license does not appear after some time, you can manually trigger a new scan using the MCP server admin interface.

    MCP servers without a LICENSE cannot be installed.

  • This repository includes a README.md file.

  • No tool usage detected in the last 30 days. Usage tracking helps demonstrate server value.

    Tip: use the "Try in Browser" feature on the server page to seed initial usage.

  • 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

  • Behavior1/5

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

    No annotations exist, and the description provides no behavioral information. It does not disclose whether the tool consumes credits, requires authentication, has rate limits, or produces side effects. The agent gains no insight beyond the basic action.

    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 extremely concise: one sentence and a link. It front-loads the action efficiently and wastes no words. However, it is so brief that it omits critical context.

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

    Completeness1/5

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

    Given the lack of annotations, output schema, and any parameter guidance in the description, the tool is severely under-described. The single sentence 'enrich data for 1 person' is insufficient for an agent to understand how to use it effectively, leaving major gaps in contextual understanding.

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

    Parameters1/5

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

    The description adds no parameter information; it does not mention any of the input fields. Although the schema itself has detailed parameter descriptions, the description fails to add value beyond that. With 0% schema description coverage, this is a significant gap.

    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 states the tool enriches data for a single person, which clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like people_search (searching multiple) and organization_enrichment. However, it does not specify what kind of data is enriched (e.g., contact info, employment), making it slightly vague.

    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?

    No usage guidance is provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention any prerequisites or exclusions. The agent is left without context for appropriate invocation.

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

  • Behavior1/5

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

    No annotations exist, and the description fails to disclose any behavioral traits such as pagination behavior, rate limits, data freshness, or whether results are sorted. The link to external docs does not compensate for the lack of explicit information.

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

    Conciseness3/5

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

    The description is short (two sentences) and includes a helpful URL, but it lacks structure. The purpose is clear, but it does not front-load key information or use formatting to improve readability.

    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 complexity of the input schema (many nested parameters) and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It does not explain what the search returns, how to interpret results, or any limitations. The link partially compensates but the description itself is incomplete.

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

    Parameters2/5

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

    The tool description adds no value beyond the schema. Although the nested fields in the schema have detailed descriptions, the top-level 'query' parameter is undocumented in the description, and the description does not explain how to construct the query object.

    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?

    Description clearly states it is for finding organizations using an API endpoint. The sibling tool names (organization_enrichment, organization_job_postings, people_enrichment, people_search) help distinguish its purpose as a search tool.

    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?

    No guidance provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like organization_enrichment or people_search. The description does not mention any prerequisites, filters, or typical use cases.

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

  • Behavior1/5

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

    No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. However, it only states 'find people' without mentioning read-only nature, rate limits, authentication needs, or any side effects. The external link does not compensate for the lack of inline transparency.

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

    Conciseness2/5

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

    The description is extremely short—one sentence and a URL. While concise, it under-specifies the tool's functionality for a complex parameter set. The sentence is front-loaded, but it does not earn its place as it lacks detail; an external link is not a substitute for inline explanation.

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

    Completeness1/5

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

    Given the tool's complexity (many parameters, no annotations, no output schema), the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain return values, pagination, or any behavioral context. The external documentation link is not part of the description text.

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

    Parameters2/5

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

    The description adds no parameter information beyond what is already in the input schema. The top-level 'query' parameter has no description, and the sub-properties are well documented in the schema, but the description does not explain how to construct the query object or provide examples. With 0% schema description coverage, the description fails to compensate.

    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 clearly states the verb 'find' and resource 'people', making the basic purpose obvious. It distinguishes from sibling tools like organization_search (which searches organizations) and people_enrichment (which enriches specific people).

    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?

    No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as people_enrichment or organization_search. There is no mention of prerequisites or context, leaving the agent to infer usage solely from the tool name and siblings.

    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 exist, so the description should disclose behavioral traits like read-only status, prerequisites, or return structure. It merely states 'enrich data' without mentioning if it modifies data or what the response contains.

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

    Conciseness3/5

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

    The description is very short (one sentence plus link), which is concise but sacrifices completeness. The link to docs is helpful but not part of the inline description. It front-loads the purpose but lacks depth.

    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 single parameter and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain what enrichment results look like or how to handle the response. Sibling tools exist, but no comparative context is provided.

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

    Parameters2/5

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

    The description adds no meaning beyond the input schema. The 'query' parameter is not explained, though its nested 'domain' field has a schema description. With 0% schema description coverage on the main parameter, the description should compensate but fails.

    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 enriches data for one company, using a specific verb (enrich) and resource (company). It distinguishes from siblings like organization_search (searching) and organization_job_postings (job listings). However, it could be more specific about what 'enrich' entails (e.g., company details, funding).

    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?

    No guidance provided on when to use this tool vs. alternatives like organization_search or people_enrichment. The description only states what it does without context for selection.

    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?

    With no annotations provided, the description must disclose behavior fully. It only says 'find job postings' with no mention of limitations, pagination, error conditions, or what happens if the organization_id is invalid.

    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 very concise with one sentence and a link, front-loading the purpose. However, it is too brief and omits necessary details, reducing informativeness.

    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 no output schema and a simple parameter, the description fails to mention return format, expected results, or any constraints. It is incomplete for an agent to invoke correctly.

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

    Parameters2/5

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

    The schema has 0% description coverage for the sole parameter organization_id. The description does not add any meaning beyond the parameter name; it doesn't explain what the ID represents or how to obtain it.

    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 clearly states the verb 'find' and resource 'job postings', scoped to a specific organization, distinguishing it from sibling tools like organization_enrichment or people_search.

    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?

    No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like organization_enrichment or organization_search. The description simply states what it does without context.

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