Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.
This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.
Capabilities
Server capabilities have not been inspected yet.
Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| mcpdev_inspector_list_toolsA | List all available tools from a target MCP server. Use this to discover what tools a target MCP server provides. Returns tool names, descriptions, and input schemas. Args:
Returns: JSON object with 'tools' array containing tool definitions. Examples:
|
| mcpdev_inspector_call_toolA | Execute a tool on a target MCP server. Use this to invoke a specific tool on the target server with provided arguments. Args:
Returns: The tool's response content. Examples:
|
| mcpdev_inspector_list_resourcesA | List all available resources from a target MCP server. Use this to discover what resources (data/content) a target MCP server exposes. Args:
Returns: JSON object with 'resources' array containing resource URIs and metadata. |
| mcpdev_inspector_read_resourceA | Read a specific resource from a target MCP server. Use this to fetch the content of a resource by its URI. Args:
Returns: The resource content (text or base64-encoded blob). |

Scored across 6 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no overlap: call_tool executes tools, get_prompt retrieves prompts, list_prompts lists prompts, list_resources lists resources, list_tools lists tools, and read_resource reads resources. The descriptions clearly differentiate their functions, making misselection unlikely.
All tools follow a consistent snake_case pattern with the prefix 'mcpdev_inspector_' followed by a verb_noun structure (e.g., call_tool, get_prompt, list_prompts). This predictability makes the tool set easy to navigate and understand.
With 6 tools, this server is well-scoped for its purpose of inspecting and interacting with MCP servers. Each tool serves a specific role in discovery and execution, with no redundancy, making the count appropriate and efficient.
The tool set provides complete coverage for the MCP server inspection domain, including listing tools, prompts, and resources, reading resources, getting prompts, and calling tools. There are no obvious gaps, enabling agents to perform all essential inspection and interaction tasks.
