Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v1.0.19
- Disambiguation5/5
The two tools have entirely distinct purposes: one lists OCR language codes, the other performs document parsing. There is no overlap or ambiguity.
Naming Consistency5/5Both tool names follow a clear verb_noun pattern (get_ocr_languages, parse_documents), ensuring predictability and consistency.
Tool Count3/5With only two tools, the server is at the lower end of reasonable scope. While it covers core functionality, additional tools for status checking or format listing would improve completeness.
Completeness3/5The tool set covers the primary use case (document conversion) and a helper for language codes, but lacks operations like checking conversion status or listing all supported formats, creating minor gaps.
Average 4.9/5 across 2 of 2 tools scored.

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.
This repository includes a glama.json configuration file.
If you are the author, simply .
If the server belongs to an organization, first add
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
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds 'Read-only; no uploads,' which reinforces and complements the annotations without contradiction.
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?
Three succinct sentences with no wasted words. Purpose, behavioral note, and usage guidance are each in separate, front-loaded sentences.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a zero-parameter tool with an output schema, the description adequately covers its purpose, when to use it, and behavioral constraints. No missing information.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Tool has zero parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. No parameter information needed; baseline is 4. Description correctly omits param details.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool returns supported OCR language codes, specifying verb 'Return' and resource 'MinerU OCR and script language codes'. It distinguishes from the sibling tool parse_documents.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use ('before setting the language argument on parse_documents for scanned or multilingual documents') and when not to ('Do not use for file conversion'), with a direct alternative (parse_documents).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Discloses data uploaded to mineru.net (beyond annotations), non-destructive nature, and potential file writes. Annotations (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=true) are consistent with description; no contradiction.
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?
Concise multi-sentence description with logical flow: function, caveats, usage guidance, parameter tips. No redundancy; each sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers complex tool with 5 params, auth modes, output behavior, and offline limitation. Output schema exists, so return value details are not needed. Complete for agent decision-making.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline 3. Description adds value by summarizing key usage hints for parameters (e.g., file_sources examples, enable_ocr auto-detection, model='html' condition). Minor improvement over schema alone.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Convert' and the resource 'PDF, Office, spreadsheets, images, and URLs to Markdown'. It distinguishes from sibling tool get_ocr_languages by noting its exclusive use for listing OCR codes, not parsing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use ('Use for extraction and conversion'), when not ('Not for fully offline parsing'), and mentions alternative (get_ocr_languages). Also covers auth-dependent behaviors and rate limits.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
